Santa Claus has been very liberal
with the little girl iu the picture.
When she wept to bed on Christmas
eve - she prepared for the good old
fellow by hanging several stockings
on the foot flf the bed. Santa was
equal to the occasion, however, and
filled them all from toe to top. Per
haps he had to forget some other lit
tle girl; but. sad though it be. that
sometimes happens. This fortunate
baby is yet too young to think of any
thing more than that dolls and other
toys and candy galore are her gifts
from Santa Clans. Maybe when she
grows older thoughts of others less
happy will temper her joy and the
pleasure of giving be made known to
her. " i

The old home of the doll is Thurin

which is the chief source of revenue of
the nonuliition. irivinc emnlovinent foi
the whole year. The work demands a
great deal of practice and skill, as well
as time and trouble. The inhabitants
start making dolls while very young
and by constant practice are finally
able to work with astonishing accuracy'
and speed. Iu the doll Industry only
some special part of the dolls is made
by each person. Some make the bod
ies, others the heads and still others
the arms, bands, etc. By 'this division
the work is done much quicker and
better.
The assemblins of the different parts
of the dolls Is often very complicated.

This Is all that 1 expect

One large boat (my old one's wrecked);
One large, lovely Christmas tree;
Then need a larger drum
: That says "boom!" instead of "tuml"
And I want a nice long whip
That will make our tomcat skip; j
Then I hope to get a ball
That will dent the hardest wall
And a bat that will not split .
EVry time that it Is hit;
Nest I'd choose a pair of skates
Just as nice as Sister Kate's
And a bright large monoplane
That will carry rag doll Jane;
Then I'd like a lot of things
That are run by hidden springs
Rats and spiders and the like
And I need a brand new "bike" :?
With a coaster brake that will
Make work easy down a hill..
. There! That's all I asked him for. '
Still (I'm hoping, since he's Dutch) !
That he'll bring a few things more, '
