Twenty of the charred, twisted forms of what had been children of less than ten years old, girls in their teans, of young ~women in their twenties, still children in mentality, were being prepared for burlal at a Venice mortuary, near the scene of « the blaze. Eighteen of the charges, most of them suffering from minor burns, were at St. Catherine's Hospital, Santa_Monica. * Matron's . Body Found. Also in the morgue were the bodies of Mrs. Drew Thomas, forty-elght, head matron of the school, formerly of Columbus, Ohio, who sacrificed her life In a vain effort to lead her girl charges from the flame-swept struc- ture, and Wilfred Ringer, fourteen, adopted son of Mrs. Mary Jacobs, operator of the school At the very moment her adopted son was perishing In the fire, Mrs. Jacobs was trying to find new ' quar- ters for the children intrusted to her care. State and county officlals Jacobs were agreed, they sald, that the old frame hotel build- ing in which the school was housed was dangerous and not suitable for the work undertaken by the institu- tion, and were making efforts to have it moved to safer quarters.

A Glove-Grip Shoe will fit as if it had been moulded to your foot, and it is as handsome a shoe as is made. The soft, pliable leather of the upper comes up snugly under the instep of the foot, gently supporting the arch and fitting it like a glove. When the shoe is laced, it lifts up the arch instead of pressing it down. Qutside, the shoe looks like any other high-grade shoe, but inside there is all the difference in the world—an easy-fitting feeling of snugness you can not get in any other shoe. Come in and try on a pair of Glove-Grip Shoes. Experience that wonderful feeling of comfort. GLOVE~GRI 2 Pt One of the most popular Glove-Grip xfords.
