The main point, says Santa Claus, is that "the American toy industry is geared to give children their full quota of happy play hours in 1941, unshadowed by war.” That wasn’t so in 1914 when Ger many was the world’s greatest toy- producing coun try. American- made toys were a poor substitute. But all that is changed. .For the past 20 years virtually all new designs and im provements have been initiated in the United States’ toy shops. Patriotic and national defense themes are carried out in this year’s toys. The latter includes coast de fense guns and the like, all ‘‘sci entifically tested,” in the interests of society.

But that was a long time J ago, longer still since their parente had died. The sisters were beauti- ^ fill and had married will, and Curt, possessed of burning ambitions, had left to make his way in the world. Frequently they came out to call, to “eat one of Martha's wonderful dinners” and “get a breath of coun try air.” It was on a Christmas day that Nancy brought Barre Howard out. “I knew you wouldn’t mind, dar ling,” «he gushed. , “Mr. Howard ,is_ a traveler and he’s lecturing in town tomorrow night.” Martha .smiled and nodded and looked up into Barre Howard’s tanned face, a face that was strong and kind, with eyep that held a dreamy mystery in^eir depths. But no one woujp have dreamed that there were any thoughts in Mar tha’s head save those that centered around preparations for the Christ mas dinner.
