Who can measure the effect of putting six hundred pairs into six hundred pairs of shoes and Christmas joy into the empty lives of six hundred struggling boys? It made Christmas the brightest spot in all their years. It brought the vision of hope and gave a nobler conception of the world. It turned six hundred pairs of feet, for a time at least, into the paths that lead toward success. Many of them will reach the goal Those shoes, perhaps, will turn a score of boys, poorly born, away from a career of crime and give to the world a score of strong and helpful men. The unselfish impulses prompted by the Christmas spirit have never been the urge to indo- lence or crime. Glen Edwards on the Piano! Johnnie on the Drums Ruth on the Organ!? Starting at 3:30 P. M.

Dorothy sat huddled disconso- lately in the big arm chair before the grate fire. To have tonsils out just before Christmas was bad @& enough, but to be waiting for a sweetheart and to know that there was a forwarded letter in anoth girl’s handwriting, also awaiting him was much worse. “Hello, Dot,” in breezed Jack, all joy and Christmas gaiety. He leaned | over and kissed her tenderly: “You poor kid. It's sure at Christmas, t00.” Dorothy smiled wanly and pointed to the letter on the table. “Who the deuce?” Jack slit the envelope, glanced over it and thrust it into his pocket. “Why waste time reading your letters when I've got i you—but it was sure good of you ;g to have Mary write me.” | | Dorothy’s eyes brightened and her throat seemed almost well. What a goose she was to have for- gotten that she had asked Mary to write Jack and tell him how she was. What a wonderful time Christmas was with its unexpected surprises! CONSIDER GIVING ~ GLOVES AND BAGS From tiny tot to great-grand- imother, all women love handbags. |Men sneer contemptously sometimes and say ‘“suitcases” but still these bags are an important item of the feminine costume. For the gift that will be pleas- ing, the Empire Christmas reporter suggests one of these bags. This | year’s selection includes appropri- | to fit any tough, Shoulder Strap Bag Nice Replacing the suede bag in some instances, “because it does not rub off” is the elegant crepe bag. The proportions of one which the re- porter looked at and into quite jus- tified the masculine term of “suit- case.” But according to the smart fashion magazines, the bigger the bag the more style it has. Especially for the school girl are the cunning plaid shoulder strap bags. These may contrast or |match her plaid skirt and jacket | outfit. Speaking of the school girl,| her elder college sister would adore | one of the latest evening bags, fitted with compact, comb, lipstick and | perfume vial. These are in gold and silver alligator kid. Gloves and bags somehow Seem to go together, possibily because they are both worn at the hands. Gloves, if you know the correct size, are an excellent gift, both for men and women, ack foods securely KEEPING FOODS FRESH s lined with tinfoil with waxed paper containers for holiday with d Ilax)cx WITH ALL SERVED SUNDA BUS PEPOT LUNCH ¢ Open at 5 A.
