STAR— fHURSDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1914, PAGE 4 A DIFFERENT KIND OF EDITORIAL; JUST A STORY ABOUT A LITTLE GIRL AND A DOLL NCE department upon a time—the evening of Nov. 2, 1914—a big store in Seattle had already got its display with elec tric lights shining upon all the beautiful things and the sides of the windows trimmed with flowers and bright 2 sings. It was just fine. It fairly made your purse itch in your pocket and almost made you wish that Christmas would hurry There was one big father—dressing gowns, brellas, handkerchiefs, tobacco There were at least three windows of beauties for mother—suits, wraps, toilet articles, hats, lingerie, just hundreds of articles. Maybe they put such lots of things in windows for mothers because it takes a heap of temp tation to get women to spend money on Christmas pres Anyway, it was altogether a display beautiful of Christmas bargains in its windows, t full of lovely things for e window slippers, chaving sets, and alt canes, that t ents. enough to fairly set the Christmas bells to ringing. But, really, this story is about things in the last win- dow of all, the window displaying dolls, and this was the most glorious window of all, because, wien you think of Christmas, you think of the children, little tads in their nightgowns rushing out, early in the morning to examine stockings hung up the night before, and to stand in awe before, or dance in delignt about, a brilliant Christmas tree Now, before this dolls’ window, once-upon-a-time aforesaid, stood a man holding by the hand a little girl of seven or eight years of age. The child ke in whispers, for there were dolls in there as big and her heart almost stood still through mother-instinct to clasp that big blonde one marked “Price $6"—-that one with the real hair, real fur-trimmed cape, real shoes, real every- thing. But the man’s talk was big and cheery and you could tell by his accent that he was a German-American, FATHERS ‘THAT OPP.

So, here, already, are the six dollars. Don't The child took the money, but she had suddenly be come quiet. Over her innocent face had come the look that Jesus must have cast upon the thief crucified on the cross beside him. For a minute she clutched the money and gazed thoughtfully at the dolls, then soberly “Daddy, is it true that many, many little Belgian OF COURSE |'Ve Done tt, MAL 1 HOPS I'LL HEAR MY Favor Te Classic ‘Love's FonD DREAM!

A struggle in the soul of the child, and then the victory came— “Daddy, I can get along with that dollar doll there, and you will send the other five dollars to those little chil- dren for shoes and bread.” The big frame of the man shook. moist, his lips came tight together, a lump rose in his throat. He straightened up in military style and muttered: “Hoch der kai—” but the lump in his throat choked him, “Hoch der—" he repeated Then he swept the child up to his breast, with both arms, and roared: “HOCH DIE KINDER!” His eyes grew “WELL, THEN, YOU SORELY HAVES DONS (Tt. ‘Love's FOND | DREAM’ wat On THE OTHER /PPONTO, THE PURP Ki-Yi!
