One day before, Christrnai I went
in to see an old house near the„
corner of St. George and College
streets. Once,• upon a tithe it be-
longed, to •a Toronto family. Then
*hen the big. Library next door got
so crowded that there wasn't ronin
for all the• children's books, the old
house -was bought. for, just a child-
ren's library and-- ealled: Boys` and•
Girls'. House, •'Tfie house looks
rather old and 'dingy.on,.the outside
and when 1 went in it was .''alCst
the same. But , all, the children
who. go there 'love every earner
of 'it and' so :do; the librarians.' I
was talking Witt Diss Cook and
Miss -Sheila Egoff. They • told 'me
,.that the new Boys' and Girls' House
is to be !finished this spring and it
tiff iFbe brigli`t lOi it lY -aud�mod'

be rather lonesome for the pld ,place.
;You go in what ,was ;the front
'door of the house and the hall and
stairway are gust . ittsicie. There is
a ' delightful little picture ..,of
Princess Victoria as -a very small
girl hanging at the foot • of the
