trimmed model at the top of the sketch.

SELECTING TOYS
FOR XMAS GIFTS
Mechanical Toys Make a Child
Lazy.

After all, Christmas belongs mostly to
the children. and planning their gifts
and surprises Is a never-ceasng JOY. But
now. all those who are interested in
children are beginning TO realize that
they should be selected with care and
some knowledge of what they should
really mean TO the child.
A toy should encourage inventiveness
should stimulate the imagination. should
teach skill, and should be the means of
providing material for many hours oc-
Cupation. and that is why mechanical
toys do not interest a child for very
long period of time. They make him
lazy, for they do for him what he should
learn to do for himself They are the
completed product, and unless the child
takes them to pieces to see what there
is within to make them work, there is
little left for him to do.
Should Be UseabIe.
A toy, too, should be. above all things
disable, made of strong materials so that
the unskilled handling of the child will
not destroy them easily. They, too,
should be hygienic. and constructed with
an attempt to make them as aesthetic
as possible, for it is through his toys
that the child gets his first premonition
Of the art world, and his playthings
should be an educational factor in his
life
And so there have been toys invented
to meet all these needs of the child.
There are those which are made to in
terest him when out of doors, and en-
courage healthful activity, such as We
locipdes, bicycles. wagons. baby car
riages, the old-fashioned hoops, swings,
skates
boggRns, and dozens and dozens more Of
the kind. They are all splendid for his
development. Then there are toolchests
filled with good strong tools. with which
he can work-not those poor make-be-
lieve kind, that even an experienced
workman could not use. And If a COM
plete toolchest is not feasible, a few
implements at a time make fine gift
and others can be added at different
times until the chest is complete.
All sorts of domestic toys are inter-
esting, and assist a child to relieve the
life she sees about her. and they help to
train her to be useful and skllful.
Dishes. brooms, washing outfit, an iron
ing set, a little cooking stove, doll furni-
ture, and all the other paraphernalia
that she so ioves-a little sewing ma
chine and dolls, of course. Dolls are
made so much more beautiful than they
used to be and they are so much more
hygienic. too, being washable even to
their hair
Possibilities of Sand Tray.
And nothing has greater possibilities
than a sand table or sand tray, with
the various toys that come with them.
The child-is able-te create something,
to make real and tangible certain ideas
of his own. He can build castles and
farms and he can design geometricaI
patterns and he can make sand pies,
playing either within doors or without
An outfit which contains modelling wax
or clay Is also a desirable present, for
this is another medium with which he
can express himself.
To this list SHOULD be added blocks of
all kinds, and paints, and drawing pads,
and pencils, for the child is thus given
the materials with which to work and
play.

The design illustrated is effective and
could be easily copied by using the ordi-

satin with brightly Powered silk for the

The Grave of Care.

We buried Care in an open grave,
And high as we tamped the sods,
The laugh and the song and the cheer
we gave
Rang out to the Hill of Gods.
We buried Care with right good will
And never a sign gave we,
And over the mound we danced our fill
And planted the seeds OF glee.
It's many day since the seeds were
sown
In single mrthful hour
And up from the mold they all have
grown
With many charming now'r.
There are Blossoms of Cheerfulness,
Buds of Mirth,
Sprigs OF the Merry Heart;
There are perfumed fiow'rs OF the Joy
of Earth
And blooms OF the Better Part.
We watered them all as they grow and
grow
With the tears Of our revelry,
And hour by hour they nod and blow
To the beautiful sunllt sea
SO sing, oh. sing me a carefree song
And take mel wot not Where,
So the sun be warm and the day be long
And the iiow'rs on the grave of Care.

For some good work to do.
There's nothing helps when you are blu,
Like helping set things right,
Kind service fills the darkest dey
With sweetness and with light
And when you're feeling out OF sorts
The very wisest plan
Is to find out what others want
And help them all you can.
So look around and study up
Some helpful thing to do:

VIII brighten life for you.
Look up the real unfortunates.
And ease their aches and pains,
And while you feel you're doing good
You'll never know It rains!

Dead and Forgotten

There is a grave. neglected, bare.

And there no blossom ever blows.

He was high minded. famous, brave.

He was a man who dared to stand
With one or two for what was right,
He lent new glory to his land.

Long since his proud lips have been
dumb.
