No China Dolls This Year

Many little heart will be made sad
this Christmas because there will be no
big, beautiful China doll in the stock
ing Christmas morning. The nations
across the water are too busy fighting
to think of making dolls, and old Santa
will have to do without them this year
because he can't get them. He used to
get all of his pretty china dolls in Aus
tria and Germany, but the war has put
stop to this industry. Dealers say
there are just few china dolls in Am
erica and the price of these is very high.
Santa will get all of his dolls in Ameri-
ca this year and they are known as the
American made unbreakable doll, While
they are not quite as pretty as the china
doll, they will last the children much
longer. So don't be disappointed be-
cause old Santa doesn't bring you q
pretty china doll. It's not because he
doesn't want to, but just because he
can't get them. Lots of other foreign
made toys will be short also, but old
Santa will supply as best he can with
American made toys.

Passed he out Of the shadow
Into pure light,
Stepped he behind the curtain,
Getting clearer sight,
LAID he aside the burden,
This weary mortal toll;
Done with the worlds vexations,
Done with its tears and toll;
Ready to bid his friends farewell
Wondering why they weep,
Passed he out of the shadow
Into eternal day.
Why do we call it dying
This glorious going away"
