Having heard the clock in a far off tower strike twelve, which is the time of awakening in the toy world, I hastily kicked off the lid of my box, wondering if similar fates had been met by my friends of the long ago. As I crawled from the box a big Teddy Bear regarded me sleepily out of shoe button eyes, and I was not surprised to learn that it was Leland Connick. I asked him where the rest were and he waved a paw lazily down the long shelf, then went to sleep again. As I continued on my way I met a little China Cat whom I knew to be Edith Drake, while a couple of elegant Paris dolls in a show case were Myrtle Tripp and Irene Loofbourrow. A billiken grinning near I recognized as Bryan Epps, and a Wooly black lamb as Gerald Monroe. A group of japanese dolls, serving tea on a drum, resembled Nellie Wilson, Lillian Waldorff and Frances Roberts. As I approached they fled, much to the joy of the drum whom I could plainly see was Chas. Moore, while the drum sticks were Paul Heney and Charley Vlfatson. Two saw-dust beauties propped against an easel, I recognized as Nelle Quill and Lorene Durnford. With fetching smiles and alluring glances, they were in deep conversation with a Billy Possum, no other than John McLean. A candy parrot chattering away to a gingerbread boy next attracted my attention. I discovered the parrot to be Flossie Simpson, while the boy was Will Trott. I stopped to find out the news but as there was nothing excitingly interesting I passed on. ' Near a bon-bon box, a tin soldier making love to a little rag doll was Mc Monroe, the doll, Helen McMillan, of course. Going further I beheld a little tin horn blowing away with all its might, Cloyd Gale I knew that to be, and then I turned my attention to a couple of circus elephants who were doing stunts on a ladder-George Brown and John Aubin. 4 W'hile I was thus engaged, a goat cart passed, filled with bisque ladies with parasols. Among them I could discern Elizabeth Duprey, Ida I-Iermanson and Grace Quigg. The goat was Herbert Clattenberg. A musical top, formerly Fern Kellar, spun by, bumping me rudely into a Susie Damn doll which I knew was Carrie Day, for after being knocked down she game up bright and smiling as ever. After scrambling over a pile of boxes and rubbish, I came upon a Bo-Peep doll, making a sketch of Sleeping Boy Bluee-Vesta Heckman and John Sinclair, respectively. A couple of tinsel butterflies hovered near, and were easily recog- nized as Ethel Jennings and Eleanor Pehrson. PAGE EIGHTEEN
