jects available, every taste may be
pleased, from the jazz dance to grand

They Tell Stories.
Especially popular this var are the
children's story records, which re-
count for the little tots, some of the
most fascinating tales OF fairies,
birds and animals. These subjects
have been prepared with great care
and the stories are told by some of
the children's favorite story tellers,
There are records made to appeal to
