I The jolly racoon sells his back for a | muff for $25 in the city, ru bet he'd call it a good joke if asked. Shops are rapidly filling with toys of all descriptions. Last year we had a rather crude lot of things for the youngster. This year we have a much better display ot dolls. If you will remember, last Christmas ew couldn't find a doll made o (the usual bisque, well formed and having a pretty head covered with good quality hair. There were none to be had in any of the cities, unless bought before the war ana these were sold out so quickly that we hardly got a glimpse of them. In Fairmont the display of shapsless sawdust bodies with queerfaced tops to them were numerous and without exception all there were. As ! dollars are the main attraction both to children and grown-ups, nearly' everybody wept a lew tears over the pitiful lack of them figuratively at least. This year stores are much bet-1 ter supplied. There are some very beautitul dolls in several Fairmont stores?of all sizes, and some with curls ? that indispensable necessity for most children.

My mother took me shoppiai and I could not be moved past a gorgeous race dress and suitsiiaae in one of the exclusive shops lor children m Chi cago. } have never lor a moment lorgotten tow I wanted that dress with pink rioooas ana pearl bead trimmings and much otlier impossible ornamentation, whicn to my limited experience seemed the height ot grandeur. finally, in an eftort to persuade me to at least allow others to pass, It was whispered in my ear that the elaborate gown cost somewhere in the neighborhood of fifty dollars?which in tnoae days was quite a price lor a cnild's dress. It ior a moment you imagine that hailed my longing, >ou are much mistaken. 1 iairiy screamed out loud: "Well, mother?that is a very small amount ot money for you to object to among all these people!

And I sulked for quite some time afterwards?just as many other children are doing these days, because something they have taken a fancy to is not immediately taken from the window and placed in their hands. Children are very nearly all extremely selfish. The nicest children I know are rour in number and belong to a mother who pays very little attention to them. From babyhoo.l they were left to do much as they liked? in one large playroof. Shut up manyhours s day, they learned to be original. When quarrels arose, they settled them without help. Many a time I have watched the mother go on placidly reading when howls upstairs led me to believe that nothing whatever would be left of the youngsters.
