of Christchurch and Timaru Father Christmas » unusually busy this year. There must be a record number of good children—so Ballantynes presume to make a few suggestions in the hope that it will help him. GIFTS / d/?e Youna ISl_k MOST people think of toys when they think of gifts for young folks, for probably it is things to play with that have the most far-reaching effect on children. Ballantynes have a delightful selection of such gifts—there are dolls so cuddlesome that they are called “Cuddlie” Dolls—quaint little sets of tea things with which to play “grown ups’* —and a host of well-chosen games that unconsciously develop early mental training. Then there are all sorts of good things for a party—and Xmas is the time for children’s parties—-There are gorgeous Boxes of Xmas Crackers with favours 'inside them, fancy boxes of Wholesome Sweets—and Holly and Candles with which to decorate the Xmas tree. H.R.H.— the Baby! The difficulty in choosing gifts for babies lies in there being so many to choose from rather than too few. When there are such adorable little matinee jackets, frocks, bonnets, shawls, shoes, etc., as Ballantynes are at present displaying, it really is hard.
