SIMPLE GIFTS FOR CHILDREN
tHilda Richmond

Safety hidden in the closet was
doll almost as large as Mary, Louise
q wonderful train OF cars that would
run on track, for Freddy, q set OF
books beautiful enough for grown
folks and other costly Christmas gifts
to correspond. Mrs. Lennox believed
in shopping early and getting things
that had not been handled by others.
There might be germs on the toys a
few weeks later, but now they were
Respondent with paint and varnish
and absolutely clean. And when she
was called to her old home to see her
sick mother she rejoiced more than
ever that her Christmas shopping had
been completed. The children would
have to be left In charge Of an elderly
lady, woman safe enough and
inotherly enough to satisfy all de-
mands, but not one who had ever
made study Of child life as Mrs.
Lennox prided herself on doing.
And when Mrs. Lennox returned
she was amazed to find an entirely
new collection Of toys in her home.
Freddy was having most delightful
time with some cheap railroad cars
while Mary Louise had a doll in her
arms that certainly never cost more
than twenty-five cents, the mother de-
cided.
We've had the best time!" cried
the children hurrying to show the
treasures. Mrs. Green got whole lot
of money from Daddy and let us pick
out all these lovely things"
Mrs. Lennox at once decided that
Daddy had not been impoverished
by the buying, but she said nothing,
1t was the first time that her children
had ever gone through cheap store,
and to think they would select such
things = inartistic, even crude. It
was quite a blow to the devoted young
mother.

like grown folks They like to pick

NEW YORK, April 1e-It becomes
increasingly clear that the Spring slim
illus this year has not been sufficient to
start business climbing out OF the val
ley. Such as there has been seems to
be fading somewhat early, says the
Business Week in its report covering
the week ending April 10.
The business index has been sliding
OF slowly during the past four weeks,
but at 1875 per cent Of normal for the
week ended April IL, it still stands
somewhat above the low points touched
In the past five months, and there is
no suggestion that general business is
likely to go to lower levels than heve
been established since last November.
In the preceding week the index stood
at 1913 per cent and in the correspond
ing week year ago at 96.5 per cent.
The March and early April evidence
In employment textile activity, iron and
steel and automobile production, in
building and retail trade, encourages
the belief that recession has been
checked, but not the hope that an up
turn will be early or rapid. Recent
resistance to further decline in Euro
pean economic indicators, except for
France, suggests the same.
