CHILDREN's CHRISTMAS.
Christmas for the children at home this

and there is also the prospect, not def
mite, of course, but something TO hope
for. OF white Christmas, the JOY Of
young and old alike. It win give more
fun to the little ones because that good
old quality. Yankee ingenuity, has been
called on to do more at this Christmas
time than for many years.
German toy makers heretofore have
sent their products to Philadelphia and
other ports of this country In fleets OF
ships. starting often as early as Oeto-
Der. The sign made in Germany" has
been everywhere in toyland. This year
il is rarely seen. Germany has been
busy making war and the United States
has had to make its own toys, and 1t
has made them.
More than this il has made a shipload
10 send abroad to the little children of
Belgium, not TO mention the toys that
went in various other shipments, suff-
cient perhaps 10 NIL another vessel And
the toys made by the United States this
year surpass in every way those OF the
foreign makers. Prices are little or no
higher than In former years.
The toymakers have surprised the coun-
try with some Of the new inventions this
year. All the old ideas have been inn
proved upon until they will stand the
battering by which childhood shows its
affection for Its playthings. and the new
ones viii do all manner OF curious stunts.
Not only the children are impatient to-
day for the dawn of the morrow. The
adults also are counting on the thrill OF
pleasure that will be theirs In the morning
when the patter OF little feet down the
Etairway Is followed by shouts Of happl-
ness over stockings bulglng with good
things and toys piled in neat array
about the decorated FIR or cedar.
