Your own
Reginald.
Such was the love letter written by
Reginald Graham of New York, a
beautiful doll twenty inches tall, light
hair, blue eyes. with long dark lashes,
to his ladylove Miss Alice Winches-
ter, brown eyed doll beauty of Bos-
ton.
The fact is that a marriage had
| been arranged between these two dol
lies by their little mammas and sew
eral grown up aunties, to take place
at Christmas time at the home of
the doll bride.
But making the clothes, Grandmas,
cousins and aunties spent days using
tiny manly garments, as no little girl
could possibly do the difficult sew
ing.
1t was decided that black broad
cloth suit must be made, but as a full
dress evening coat could be used only
| for formal occasions, a tuxedo or
dinner coat was finally agreed upon
as being of more service.
All the time we have been telling
about the bridegroom dear little Alice
has been so busy having long white
satin wedding dress made, real lace
veil and the daintest kind of lace
trimmed underwear.
A travelling gown of cloth, an au-
tomobile coat of champagne color, a
white hat with feathers and flowers,
all have been prepared for the go
ing away" costume.
A procession of twenty little girls
with their dollies follows Reginald
and Alice, who march into the draw
ing room to the music of wedding
march played on the piano; then in
to the dining room, where the dollies
sit at table that has been arranged
for them with a tiny wedding cake
decorating the center.
Then comes the wedding tour
around the garden, and then the new
ly married pair go to housekeeping
in big closet that has been furnish
ed for them with all the latest con-
VenienceS.
II was really the most brilliant mar
riage that was ever made in Toy
land and is the true story of a dear
little brown eyed girls Christmas
present.
A great many doIlie guests were
invited from Mother Goose" Land,
and among those most noticed were:
Jack Be Nimble, Jack Be Quick,
He was the first one there;
Then came little GoIdie Locks,
Who ran away from the bear
Bright Miss Nancy Etticoat,
Used to standing long,
Shone beside Tom Tucker
Who sang the supper song.
Mistress Mary, Quite Contrary,
Brought from her garden fair
Several maidens all in row,
With pretty curling hair.
Bobby Shafto, from DER the sea,
Was in a happy mood;
| saw him gazing bashfully
At dear Red Riding Hood.
Little Miss Muffet had left her tuffet
And surprised us all, oh, my
BY going to a corner with little Jack
Horner
And sharing his Christmas pie.
Shy Bopeep without her sheep
Many sweet glanCes won,
And there without his little pig
Was Tom, the Piper's Son.
Marjorie Daw and big Tom Stout
Attracted much attention
And many more whose names, alas,
| haven room to mention.
It was a wedding so very grand,
All in a month of December,
With the very Four Hundred of Toy
land there,
As many will long remember.

The bells chime happily across the
night
The night that crowns the almost
dying year
And soon the morning, with its
dawning light,
Proclaims that Christmas day at
last is here.
The children high aloft the boar's
head bring,
And as they march their merry carols
sing,
While Christendom joins in their
tuneful lay,
For at this season all are glad and
gay,
And men and women, with their
hearts aglow,
Shout out with one accord on Christ
mas day,
Hail to the Yule log and the mis-
tletoe!"
Emblems of many an old time honor
ed rite,
OF bolsterous mirth and homely,
honest cheer;
he Yule log, flaming high and blaz-
ing bright;
The mistletoe, to youth and maid
ems dear.
See for snapdragon how they form
ring
Or in a contradance their partners
swing?
Lord of misrule makes good his So
briquet,
And all his mandates eagerly obey.
lie wields the scepter and with
loud halo
Cries Justify, with none to say him
nay,
Hail to the Yule log and the mis-
tletoe,"
All climes and classes own the sea-
sons might,
1t rules alike the peasant and the
peer;
The humblest home presents a happy
sight;
The sternest judge forge;s to look
severe.
The very birds fly by on lighter
wing:
The clustering north wind seems to
lose its sting;
The old and young, the golden haired
and gray,
Devote the hours to merriment and
play,
And far across the crispy, crack
ling snow
We hear a chorus from a flying
sleigh,
Hail to the Yule log and the mis-
tletoe,"
The chosen theme of many a fancy's
flight,
A ballad monger or sonneteer
Yearly his Christmas poem will in
dite
or coy maiden and her cavalier
Shakespeare full often had his merry
fling,
And Milton tuned his harp to noble
string;
Irving the scenes of Christmas could
betray,
And Dickens its true spirit could con-
Vey.
To song and story a rich debt we
owe,
And with triumphant cheer this trib-
ute pay,
Hail to the Yule log and the mis-
tletoe!"
And as the sacred season circles near
All evil thoughts and themes are
banished quite;
Our lives become more gentle and
sincere:
Our hearts can find no room for
dole or spite.
Paeans of praise from thankful
hearts upspring
To celebrate the birthday of the
King.
All humbly for our brothers veal We
pray
And ask a blessing on our future
way;
Our generous gifts on others We be-
stow;
Peace upon earth, good will TO
men" We say,
Hail to the Yule log and the mis-
