BEST TOYS FOR CHRISTMAS
They Should Suggest Action and Sci
the Mind of the Child
at Work.

In selecting toys for the children's
Christmas, remember they should be
such as to suggest action, and bring
the Imagination into play, as it is
the child who plays, not the toy, and
Imagination is the soul of the play.
The best toys are those which set
the mind to work, and give the little
brain scope for expansion. This Is
one of the strongest recommendations
for the simpler toys. The wonderful
mechanical toys sold in the shops are
complete in themselves, and leave the
child nothing to do but to wind them
up and start them going. In this
case, 1t is the toy that plays, not the
child. Children soon weary of bav-
ing nothing to do, and, losing interest

trudged off toward the fir tree in the
vacant lot.
Regina's eyes were too intent on
her mission to see that thin curl
of smoke was twisting from the chin
ney Of the bungalow that rambled in
the lot beyond the vacant one.
Regina drew near the coveted tree
and her heart expanded lovingly.
"What a little beauty!" she ex-
claimed half aloud.
The little tree was Of special origin
and stood not much higher than Re-
gina. Over it's branches veil Of
smoke seemed to linger. After a mo-
ment spent in admiration, the girl put
down her big tub and began to clear
away the light fall of snow from about
the roots of the tree. Her cheeks
were gloriously red and the sparkle
in her eyes rivaled the day itself.
When the snow was cleared Regina
swung the great ak into the frozen
earth. The ground scarcely responded
to her strength. She swung again.
'Hey! What are you doing to that
tree!"
Regina dropped her ak and gazed
in the direction of the deep, gruf
voice. A man was standing on the
veranda of the bungalow.
Regina picked up her ak and will

"I say there, you-that tree be

The voices of David and Regina
trailed into silence and they only
looked at each other. Regina was the
first to speak, the mother instinct
prompting her.
Perhaps we had better waken

David was silent a long moment
then he said slowly and reverently

tered to Regina save the fact that
she had promised her Sunday school
class glorious tree and that now
there was no tree for them. Tears
welled slowly into Regina's eyes and
blurred the glittering landscape.
She argued with herself that she
might have known that the New York
shops could not be relied upon to send
a tree to the suburbs at so short a
notice, but that did not help the situa-
tion.
Regina shrank from facing those
twelve little girls whose smiles would
vanish in childish disappointment
when they learned that the tree they
had been promised was not to be
theirs.
The tears brimmed over and fell.
Regina's vision was cleared and in
the clearing she gazed directly at the
miniature fir tree in the vacant lot
next door. A sense of keen delight
swept over Regina. After all, her
children would have tree!

appeared in outdoor costume. She
had put on her gymnasium suit, high
