SIGRID BRATEN, AGED NINE. OF BOZEMAN. MONT.
BT LEONE CASS BAER.
THE first time I saw Sigrid she was
playing on the beach and digging
her fat toea into the warm sand.
She had arrived -with her mother from
I her home at Bozeman, Mont., to spend
1 the Summer at Seaside, and as we had
fr very great many things in common,
1 such as bear stories and building aand
: houses, hunting for shells and racing
' along the beach, to say nothing of the
' times we exchanged confidences. Sigrid
and I came to be great pals. She was
the dearest love-baby I ever saw, fat, and
health-, and fairly bubbling over with
the Joy of living. I was a loyal admirer
of the mature mind In the baby head,
and when the halcyon days ended and
we all came back to the city Sigrid and
T had many Jaunts In and about Port
land before she went home.
One day we went out to the Baby
Home, away out on too Waverly -Richmond
line. There are a lot of youngsters
out there who are motherless and father
less and have none of the things that a
lucky star provided for Sigrid when she
came into the world nine years ago.
On this particular visit, we stayed for
an hour or more playing with the babies
and when I left Sigrid with her mother
the incident was of the past. But about
a month ago, came a letter from Boze
man in a round childish hand, wanting
me to And out how many babies at the
Home were old enough to play with
dolls. I ascertained through the Matron
that there were 22, sent Sigrid the de
sired information, and promptly forgot
the matter. But alie didn't, and last
week an immense box was left for m
by the expressman and in it I found 23
dolls, each in a separate box. each
dressed and ready for some baby
"mother" at the Home. And later came
a letter with a dollar bill tucked inside
"to buy some candy for the babies," to
quote the donor.
It isn't that all of us would not do the
same kind of an act If we could, for
we'd all like to shine as philanthropists,
but what makes me take off my hat to
a baby girl in Bozeman, Mont., is that
having for herself all the goods the
gods can bestow, she is not at all selfish
and has learned even now, that It is
more blessed to give than to receive.
And so that is why and how the 2
oldest babies at the Home will each have
a doll for Christmas.

A MASTERPIECE
A CHRISTMAS PRESENT
In every line and every note the Steinway
proclaims a noble superiority which leaves no
doubt of its position as the first piano of the
world.
In point of workmanship and methods of
construction it is the standard of the piano in
dustry a perfect piece of mechanism perfectly,
made.
In point of tonal qualities it is the standard
of the artistic world the ideal instrument by
which all others are measured and judged.
When you once realize what the Steinway is,
you will never be content with any other piano,
no matter how much less its cost may be.
We cordially invite you to inspect our stock
of Steinway Pianos, which includes, besides
all regular styles, both grands and uprights,
in art cases of various architectural periods.
