CHRISTMAS PARTY.
Salvation Army Arranging to Benefit
the Poor.


The Salvation Army is preparing to give
a Christmas party to 200 or 300 poor chill
dren, who would not otherwise enjoy any
Christmas cheer. The idea is to seek out
children who are not connected with any
church or mission, and who have no other
chance of enjoying the delights of a
Christmas tree and Christmas gifts, and
arrangements have been made for distrib-
uting tickets to such.
Staff Captain Alice Terrell, who now has
charge of this Salvation Army district, has
secured Willard Hall for the night of
Thursday, December %, for this enter
tainment. She proposes to give the chill
dren not only candy and toys and clothing
from the Christmas tree, but the pleasure
of a Christmas cantata. As the Salvation
Army is poor in money, the officers are re-
lying upon the generous people of Wash
ington for the gifts the funds with
which to buy them. The number of chill
dren invited will be limited only by the
amount of the contributions and the size
of the hall, and several hundred can be ac-
there. The army officers and
their friends will have charge of the can
tata, and they will also continue to do all
the planning and preparing for the enter
tainment, including the looking up of the
little guests, which will be carefully done,
so to get the most needy.
Contributions in money are especially de-
sired because they can be most economic
ally used, but any contributions will be
gratefully received by Staff Captain Ter
rell and the other army officers al $50 Penn
sylvania avenue, their headquarters.

kinds of attractive goods, and she found
something to interest her in every DEPART
ment.
The book department, which has set
Washington to talking. is a genuine sur
prise TO any visitor. for few realize what a
magnificent assortment OF standard and
holiday books the Bon Marche has until
they actually see them There are books for
old people and young folk. al, popular au-
thors; religious works. Bibles prayer books
and the classics besides innumerabie chill
dren's books. and all at prices that never
fail to bring forth the exclamation: Il
don't see how they can possibly be printed
for little money"
In fact. the books at the Bon Marche are
sold for less than the publishers rates.
A wealth Of charming gifts is to be found
in the sterling silver novelties. such as
salve jars tooth powder boxes, vinaigrettes,
thimb' es. files. cuticles. seals. shoe horns.
hat brushes, paper cutters. &c.-hundreds
of things that make acceptable Christmas
gifts and look to he. they are. not only
valuable, but in the best Of taste
Everybody buys gloves and handkerchiefs
for Christmas giving. whatever other pres
ents they may select. and after touring the
city the shoppers experience is that no
greater bargains are to be had than the
gloves and handkerchiefs on the Bon
Marche counters. Umbrellas also. beautiful
close rollers. with pearl. natural wood and
silver handles, and silk, goria. or union
taffeta silk covers. are shown in great va
riety.
The giving of strictly useful presents has
greatly increased ia the last year or two
beyond doubt. People used 10 think that
II was not good form to give anything but
trinkets or luNuries. but this is an era OF
common sense. and common-sense gifts are
not only considered to be In good taste, but
are certain to be wei received.
The candy department at the Bon Marche
Is another feature that is worth Christmas
consideration. There are lots of people 10
whom YOU cannot very well send gifts of
intrinsic value. but box OF candy is never
wasted and always makes "A graceful com
piment from the giVer 10 the receiver The
Bon Marche candies are delicious and are
all put up in attractive boxes FOR gift
giving.
Another thing always mentioned by the
patrons of the Bon Marchc Is the fact that
customers are sure To be waited on prompt
ly and couiteousy there
