 Sheets and pillow cases, street suit for my wife, clerical suit for self, over coat-I hate to ask for that, but it is necessity in this bleak land"
 He read once again the friendly letter in which he had been urged to make known all his needs, assuring him that they would be supplied, so far as possi- ble, by branch of the Women's aux Hilary.
 In the meantime Mrs. Lawrence was dusting the sitting-room, and she had come to standstill before little ivory miniature of herself, the price of which would almost have paid for everything in their modest home. It was made ten years before, when she had just finished school and was arch1y charming in that dainty gown. How becoming it was, and how much he had admired her in it!
 Alice, is there anything else you want? We are to mention everything we need. and they will supply us as far as possible
 Yes, " she called. a little sarcastically please tell them need very much a pale blue cashmere gown" and then she smiled at the absurdity of such a re- quest from a missionary's wife ''Imag- inc the consternation that would ere ate," she thought, 'if he really would ask for such 8 thingi'
 She replaced the miniature with sigh. Was it a crime to love pretty things And would she ever have any again : Her trousseau was long ago exhausted and now she lived and moved and had her being in black things and brown things, and all things that wouldn't show dirt. Oh, dear, but-blessed after thoughti ti-wouldn't she rather be tho wife of John Lawrence, in black bril- liantines and brown surges, than any body else in the world?
 The president of St. Mary's auxiliary was rapping loudly for order She was reading letter saying that Rev Johr Lawrence would be deeply grateful fol suit, an overcoat, etc It was when she came to the overcoat that the con. fusion arose: for one lady had a prac. tcally new overcoat which her present coachman, being stout, could not wear It was exactly Rev. Lawrence s size, but being surtout, she questioned whether it would be the correct thing for clerica wear. The entire auxiliary set itself tS argue this point, when the presiden stopped them.
 Ladies, we can discuss this matter later. Let me finish reading this letter Where was I? Sheets, pillow cases table linen, and'-what is thisg A pale blue cashmere gown!"
 A pale blue cashmere gown! Had sh, asked for an automobile coat the reques could not have produced more surprise There was deep silence. Even the pres ident found nothing to say for som, time.

Many of the young folks are won
dering what kind OF toys will be the
vogue this Christmas. Most OF them
have been ordered, and are described
by a connoisseur as follows;
Here is something that is the best
ever for the boys. II is a rubber
'tomcat"-at least that is what IL is
called. II is OF rubber. sharp pointed
at both ends, and takes the place of
the bit of wood with which the boys
play cat and hockey.
Barking dogs are other small toys
which are attractive. The dog is met
al. there is a rubber bulb attached.
and when this is pressed the dog
barks in natural bow-wow tones.
There are cigars OF natural size and
appearance which are either Whistles
or small balloons. according TO con-
struction.
But the tally-ho horn is one OF the
best of the inexpensive nolsemakers.
II is not large. in brilliant colors. and
makes a sound OF aggressiveness
quite out of proportion to the size.
In pottery for the small girl there
are brown stems and pitchers. each
about an inch high. which cost three
cents apiece. On the stems in low re-
lief are little men putting other stems
to use and on the small pitchers de-
signs of flowers or birds.
Hoo-dads are other things that
are interesting. They are nice little
boxes filled 9Th Tom Thumb toys,
some for boys and some for girls.
There are little horses. little articles

sometimes a dozen in a box.
Little lead toys are quite new and
useful for Jack Horner pies for birth
day and holiday occasions. There are
trolley cars. pigs on wheels, horses
on wheels. pushcarts. one with a man
and the other with a woman pusher.
The donkeys which Jump when a
rubber bulb to which they are at
tached by a rubber tube is pressed
are better than the similar jumping
animals which have gone before
them. With each Jump the donkey
brays in a realistic fashion.
There are other horns in the shape
of champagne bottles and ginger
beer jugs. There are two sizes of
each of these. There are more often
used for favors than for the little
people.
"Palais des Illusions is a quaint
toy, a small round court encircled by
high sides and without a top. At the
lower part on one side there is a
peep hole and in the under part a
screw. Turning this screw. the eye is
applied to the peep hole and the lit
tie people inside the court can be
seen to walk.
Comets for the small boys are as
unlike the ordinary instrument that
goes by the name as possible. but
they can be played more easily.
There is a broad body. with a mouth
piece at one end. and the keys by
which they are played are set down
the center. A sheet of music goes
with each accordion.
