each. But there is more pretentious ware,
sundias, large iardneres, garden seats, win
dow boxes, bird baths and many other arti-
cles, suitable for either the city apartment or
the garden in the country. Any one OF them
will make an attractive Christmas gift.
Perhaps the quaintest of such shops is at
4I6 Lafayette Street. 1t is known as The Old
Mems Toy Shop" There more than fifty
aged and in6rm men are making attractive
toys out Of wood. Each man receives so cents
a day for his work and 10 cents for luncheon.
The men work from o'clock in the morning
until o'clock in the evening, and have three
quarters of an hour for luncheon.
When Miss Christine Foster was on the
Mayors committee for the unemployed last
winter the condition of men who were in
capacitated for hard work through age or in
trinity touched her heart, and she began to
look about for work that would be light but
that would pay, and in the end enable the shop
to become self-supporting. "The Old Mems
Toy Shop" was the outcome
The financial affairs of the toy shop, which
is not yet self-supporting, have been taken
over by the New York Association for I'm
proving the Condition of the Poor, but Miss
Foster still directs the work of the men. No
questions are asked when an aged man applies
there for work.
Miss Foster has opened an apartment not
far from the shop where about twelve of the
men make their home. Cooking is done by
them there, and for those who cannot be ac-
commodated there at night the apartment
serves as a sort of club where they may sit
and chat, smoke their pipes, play games and
be warm and comfortable for the evening
TOYS ARE INEXPENSIVE.
The toys are made of wood, sawed out ano
shaped by certain of the men and colored by
others They are moderate in price, and IS
cents not only will buy attractive Christ
mas toy, but will add to the good work Miss
Foster is doing.

most attractive. Home furnishings of all sorts

the mark, and in this way it becomes not

DIPLOMATS ARE
DISCUSSING THE
AUSTRIAN AFFAIR

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE Austro-
American diplomatic sky seemed
brighter today. Informal and con-
fidential negotiations between Aus
-tria and America In the hope OF an
amicable adjustment OF the Ancona
case are being attempted. Acting
Ambassador Zwiedenek's conference
yesterday with Secretary Lansing was
the first OF several that are planned.
Meantime, Ambassador Penfeld at
Vienna will confer with Foreign
Minister Burian.
That Germany probably will exer-
else strong influence in the final
answer OF Austria is indicated from
the fact that Zwiedenek is consulting
German Ambassador Won Bernstorff.
In his preliminary conference, Zwie-
denek is understood to have sought
from the secretary an idea as to Just
what form Of an answer America
wants. Lansing is understood to
consider a week SUFFICIENT time In
which Vienna shall make reply to
Americas peremptory demands, but
1t is scarcely thought the first note
will be definite and officials do not
expect the final reply within fort
night. s
The informal conferences are ex-
pected to provide a basis whereby
Austria will concede what America
wants. The general feeling is that
Austria has no recourse but to an
swer satisfactorily. It is felt that
she would hardly care to risk an in
crease OF her enemies at this time.
For this reason. officials inclined to
take somewhat more optimistic
view of the situation than they had
done heretofore.
The president has decided not to
act in the cases Of Charge Zwiedenek
and Consul Nuber. accused Of dis
pleasing activities, until the Ancona
case is out Of the way. All these
matters were discussed in today's
cabinet session. and it is understood
Attorney General Gregory presented
Recommendations for regulations to
suppress conspiracies.
At the same time the note to
France concerning her holding up
American ships and taking Germans
from them was considered.
