He lost about $120 last month and I drew from our savings account to pay for fit One night while he played I lost my love for him, I have prayed unceasingly over this gambling for God to take this desire from him, It

A LOOK AT NEW LOOK-IN DOLLS—Hallie Walker, nearly 4, has Christmas in mind as she appraises wasp-waisted, long-skirted dolls at a preview of, playthings in New York. That look at the new look apears one of rapture, but it could be one
| of concern if she could read the report of toy manufacturers that there won't be
enough dolls to ge around this Christmas. The reason: Hot weather kept composition dolls from "setting" properly, cutting production almost to zero.
