You may think this is not remark- | able, considering the fact that he probably had a dozen or two new toys. : You are right about the toys, but! wrong ifi connecting them with the | gorgeous time. For this is what my | small nephew was playing with—the paper, string and boxes in which the fruit of the Christmas tree had been wrapped. He was making a long train of the boxes and using the paper and string for freight. While the Expensive Toys Were Neglected. And over in the corner of the room a beautiful railroad outfit, innumer- able toy soldiers, and forty ’leven other expensive toys lay neglected. Children re queer, contrary little things, aren’t they? My littlest niece also demonstrated this on Christmas morning by push- ing aside the dolls a circle of admir- ing aunts had dressed and were watching to see her receive. A rock- Ing-horse and small tin trumpet were the only two offerings she would ac- cept. They filled her whole horizon; she rocked on one and blew the oth- er, stopping only to say firmly, “No dollie,”” when her embarrassed mother The Day After But Don’t Forget the Other Children. Christma is pre-eminently the child’s da; There nothing one can put so much genuine Christmas feel- ing into as trying to make Christm= happy for children. But need we limit the happiness to those in our immediate family, and among our relatives? Most children in middle-cl lies would be just as well off if half as much money were spent for their Christmas toy Half the time the expensive N that relatives and friends give them are given either to impress grown-ups or to gratify the buyer. It will admit it is a great hap- | piness to buy the wonderful toy vou craved in your childhood for some i member of the second generation. ‘Where a Single Toy is An Event. But do not forget in being lavish to those who have so much that they cannot appreciate it, to give some- thing to those children in whose lives a single toy is an event. I gave a few little toys to some children in a remote country town once. Five years afterwards I was there again, and the mother showed me the toys intact and told me in vivid detail how excited they all felt on that Christmas eve five years ago when the box arrived. on i the 1 loc DAILY HERALD.
