I should like to say in a general way
that If any Of my friends are thinking
Of sending me book (and such a
thought, though I should never have
suggested it myself, is excellenO,
should be much gratified IL they will
simply send me the money and / will
go and pick out the book myself.
RUT pass on from the question
Of books to the more important
matter of articles of prime utility.
Under this head I classify all muf-
flers, suspenders or braces (whether
hand embroidered or machine stitch

and any other similar articles what
soever. I hated these when I was
six years old and had to tolerate
them-but now / am moving on to-
ward sixty and I want what want
when I want 1t.
Let me here make a very open
confession. What would really
like for Christmas would be a few
of those interesting mechanical toys
that the children get. I'd like a toy
steam engine and a toy windmill and
one Of those toy cranes with the
pulleys. In fact, all that sort of
thing. So do all men.
On 'pretense of showing the chill
dren how to work them we really
sit and play with them for hours;
Just as our wives under pretense
of showing the children how to do
It dress up dolls and play with them
all the afternoon.
But for my ideal Christmas I'd like
to cast all pretense aside and have
the toys for myself. I'd like to
spread out on the floor one of those
new elaborate toy railways with the
signal boxes and the station houses
and then get three or four men over
from my club to help me run 1t. ]
