POOR BOYS WARMLY CLOTHED
SAKS & COMPANY GIVE AWAY
OVERCOATS.
Suits and Shoes and Hats Thrown in
When They Are Needed in An
nual Christmas Charity.

| jim jumped out OF his bed very early
| this morning and hustled into what
clothes he had. Then he ran out and
down the street of Rumson court as far
as he could.
1t was SO early that, though the haZy
fog that made Rumson court look very
weird and Ghostly, a star Drawer than
its companions, slimmered just a little.
In the setting of any other early-morn
ing story il would probably be said that
the milkman had just completed his
rounds. But milkmen do not find much
profit in Rumson court. Anyhow, it was
just that early in the morning.
Jim had a red card III his hand. ON it
printed
.'Saks q Company-Our annual Christ
mas gift. This boy whose name has been
registered under number - will be given
an overcoat, with our compliments, upon
presentation of this card at our store,
9TH street door. between . and 10 O'Clock
Friday morning, December 81.
Boys Line UP.
1t is a long way from Rumson court to
9TH street. but Jim was the first boy
there. He waited a long time. with his
nose pressed fiat against the plate glass,
while other boys with similar cards, but
with less ability to get up SO early gath
cred to form in line behind him.
A stout policeman came along after
while and quelled numerous small riots
and incipient duels arising over the right
of position in line.
Some boys were tiny tads and had come
with mother or father. All needed coats.
Some needed shoes and other things. And
all who came went away happy and
warm, except two or three who lost cards
or who got mixed up In some way.
Even these disappointed ones will be at
tended to as soon as DIR. T. Hubert-Jones,
acting general secretary Of the Associated
Charities. who had charge of the investi-
cation of the applicants, can look into
their cases.
Isaac Cans, superintendent, welcomed
Jim warmly when the door was opened at
exactly 10 o'clock this morning. The
three boys behind him simply fell into the
store.
Jim was handed over to a young man
who gave up his Christmas morning to
help make a hundred boys happy. In
five minutes Jim walked out the door
with the biggest. finest, warmest, most
stylish overcoat he had ever had on, or
in fact ever dreamed of owning in all
his life.
