ordinary possessions sometimes come 50
all in a heap that they are not enjoyed
half so much as when they drop one at
a time after a bit Of waiting and maybe
a lot Of work?
In the making Of home, who believes
there is the same solid pleasure and real
pride in the stately mansion all built and
furnished upon a wish as in the little
home where sacrifice. loving thought. and
waiting come first and each new belong

know, grows very fond OF the doll that

grows, too; something strong and sturdy

ANNUAL ELECTION

Discontinuance of the practice OF pre-
senting gifts with purchases was dis.
cussed at meeting of the retail shoe
dealers section of the Retail Merchants
Association in the rooms Of the Chamber
Of Commerce last night. Final action
was deferred until the next meeting.
1t was agreed to address a letter to

ness to discontinue the practice.
The secretary was instructed to call on
all the principal dealers to learn the
date they intend holding their cut-price
sales. An effort will be made to get
all the dealers TO agree not to start the

PLAYTHINGS AND GROWTH
BY FRANCES sHAFFER.

And now some one, or a set OF some
| ones. is complaining because the little
Princess Juliana, of the kingdom OF the
| Netherlands, is allowed so few play
| things by her mother, Queen Wilhel-
little maid who some day may be digni-
fled by the title OF Queen and honOred
by the love of her people!
Well, it may be she will grow up ali
the stronger the more resourceful, and
the happier for the restriction; and it
may be that Queen Wilhelmina is much
wiser than some American mothers We
meet.
For after all, it is not such a long
way from childhood to womanhood. and
wee one who can learn to amuse her
self with one toy and her baby thoughts
ar-i imagination, gives promise Of de-
veloping into a woman with something
within herself to draw upon.
Bored to Death.
And whatever we may say OF the lit
tie folk and their needs, it seems some
thing of a comment when we must say
of a fulI-grown man or woman that
without something TO divert, something
new to do or to see, always some one 10
help him pass away the time, he is
simply bored to death"
1t may be that there is no connection
between the child and his toys and the
grown-up and his bigger playthings, no
reason why some men and women are
resourceful. self-reliant and content
sometimes to play with their thoughts,
their imaginations and themselves. while
others are forever on the quest for en-
tertainment.
But it really seems that the child who
is occasionally told to play with his
own pink toes, who is given just one
doll or q single toy and left to imagine
the rest, somehow grows sweeter and
richer and deeper. certainly more con-
tented, than the little pampered dear
whose toys are thrust upon him so thick.
and so fast that he does not know where
10 stop and so keeps right on looking
for more.
Whether there is any connection or
whether there is none at all, this much
we know
The child with his single toy and his
rich imagination makes a mighty nice
playmate on the dark, dull days when
not much happens; and the Grown-up,
with his few diversions and his busy
mind, makes the same pleasant cOmrade
when there is nothing going on.

that is the way that big folk grow strong
and companionable. just as the little
ones do when there is nobody around to
heap them with toys and toys and toys
And big folk who have something to
draw upon. for themselves and for their
friends, are mighty pleasant folk TO

New York. Nov. 1.-THE first steps
toward the formation of a national
governing body to control the sport of
