- HESE are the days when Santa rules throughout the world of
 youngstersl And childhood - grouped about Christmas tree differs not at all from the little folk who. eager-eyed, stood breathless in the glory of some gift tree century ago. But An! what difference in the gifts that load the present day Christmas tree or are piled beneath its evergreen, yet fruitful boughs. Gone are the stiff little dolls and the crudely fashioned toys of yesteryear. and in their stead there are the won derful products of the progressive present-marvelous walking and talk ing doll babies and intricate me-, chanical toys that intrigue Dad and Grandad fully as much as the little boy himself. They do say that many an eager youngster has waited until the day after Christmas to play with

folks prefer. If the girl child tends her family of dollies and sews for them, contentedly; boils. bakes or fries over tiny electric stove; or makes weird pictures, hours without end, her play may be prophetic. The little lad who makes a mimic war, or builds a business block, or runs a tiny engine. may be working out his plans for the future-who knows? :? Picture the delight of the lad who rises Christmas morning and finds that railroad has come boldly into his very home and has run It's shining rails of steel all the way round the Christmas tree! Not only are there freight. express and passenger cars. but there's a locomotive or an electric engine; station; a blodk system of signals; and a system of switches ex- And there may be power to run the engine, too. For when connection has been made with the electric socket. and the current lowered by the clever est little transformer that you ever saw, off the train will go on it's end less journey round and round. ready at the will of it's boyish engineer to stop at the station: or on siding; or. anywhere.
 No more clever educational toy has been invented than the building sets, of which there are many models on the market. They're cleverly de- signed, instructive things for lads who show decided structural ability Briefly. they're systems of steel and brass engineering units that produce real working models--not ten or a dozen, but scores of them-all with the same set.
 So the eager groups that gather be- heath the Christmas trees of 1922 will find their hearts desire in toys that delight, yet instruct, the while they amuse. And Dad will have to be something of the soldier. the sailor the architect and the builder. and have at least talking knowledge of electricity, structural steel and me- chanics, if he is to satisfactorily ex- plain the working of the gifts he gives
 When Mother dressed the dolls and chose the wee kitchen stove. the tea set and the furniture for the dolls house; and Dad deliberated as to whether it should be building set. a railroad system or a motor car; they turned back the calendar a score of years and more. to days when De- cember twenty-fourth was a century long, so eagerly and expectantly did they wait the thrills and surprises of Christmas morning.

NEW, FOR THE KIDDIEs

"A 0 matter how many oldfashioned doll children may be included in . < the play family of the youngster. there is sure to be room for at least one niore in the collection. And the new dolls are not only odd. but ex- tremely fanciful in their makeup.

The shades of brown. grey, navy, tan and the heather mixtures seem to predom- mate, though there are dark mixtures with plaided backs and odd, unusual colors, now and then. In the models for school and playtime wear there are many limitations of the top coat that Mother wears-raglan shoulders inverted pleat in the back. buckled belt and smart patch pockets. The dressier coats of soft materials are not only beautiful in quality. color and designing, but are quite as lux uriously furred and lined as any coat of any age.
