"Oh, my dear, just don't bother

get little David the big one. I'm

I didn't dare to get Dick one is be-

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON


When you are buying Christmas
presents for the children, there
might be a tip in a conversation
that took place between two
mothers the other day in a toy
store.
They were mothers of little boys
still at the age when play largely
takes the part of investigation. And
we all know what that means.
They met in that corner where
small boys of six would like to
spend the rest of their lives.
There were-well, you know
airplanes, steamboats,, sailing YES
sells, trains, sets and sets and more
sets to build things, from sky
scrapers to oil derricks, electric
engines, stationary engines, auto
mobiles, and that isn't the half
of it.
One mother was buying "Davy' a
fulI-rigged schooner. I don't what it
was, really-perhaps a bark or a
brigantine. At any rate it was some
sort of vessel, and 1t was an eX-
pensiye one.
Little Boats for Little Boys
"Davy's just wild about boats"
she said. He'll love this one"
Let me see. how old is he now?"
asked her friend.
-Four and a half"
"Just the age of my Dick. might
have remembered. Dick wants a
boat too. / think I'll get him one
OF the little ones" She picked up
one about third the size Of the
other.
Dawes mother looked surprised
and puzzled. She knew her friend
could buy and sell her several times
over. She waited while the clerk
