more before Christmas. Take that figure
as the average of Christmas deliveries
for one store. That means that the six
stores delivered 1872, 600 parcels. If we
accept cubic foot as the average size
of a department store bundle. the aver

form tower 1920 feet high, or more
than ten times as high as the WASH

AT the present time one of the larger
department stores of Washington en-
pioys 115 men in its delivery department.
and runs thirty-three wagons This means
that the six larger stores, for the aver
age Christmas output, need 1850 men
and 1913 wagons to handle the vast num-
bers Of parcels.

all of which are constructed by the

cessories, which are obtained in toy
shops. Mr.. Herrity has searched in
toy stores for six weeks before he has
been able to secure just the article he
desired.

Why, that looks to me like Harpers

There's story in every one of the
thousands of Christmas packages which
go from the big department stores during
the Christmas season. The six larger de-
partment stores OF Washington, alone
during the Christmas season last year
sent out each day an average OF 7.Ooo
packages each, and the packages ranged
in size from a gilded clothes-pin kew

has found the tree an incumbrance handi-
Gaping him In mountain effects, and gen.
orally destroying the effect of the m nj
allure town. Hence il is that he is now
adopting Mr.. Herrity's plan of making
the model distinct and separate from the
tree. This year the Harpers Ferry model
will occupy the greater portion OF the
floor of a good-siZed. parlor, thus attain
ing the dimensions of the Herrity Christ
mas villages, which were always made
upon a similar scale
The amount of detail I'm both Mr. Her
ritys and Mr. Burrows work can only
be appreciated by a person who has seen
one of their model towns. Such rural APP
purtenances to the scene as cornstacks
and haystacks are realist cally represent
ed by dried grass cunningly employed.
Human interest is lent to the prospect
by figures-that for instance, of an in
dividual who might be taken for the
mayor. while the hobo is seen slouchine
around the corner. You notice the tufts
of grass growing by the roadside. Even
the ubiqu tous vagrant dogs are there.
The amount of painstaking effort and
artistic completeness in matters of detail
is a source of genuine surprise to al be-
holders of these Christmas scenes Fur
nishings, incidental and necessary TO do
mestic life and comfort, are revealed
upon open ng the doors of the houses.
Scarcely anything, i'm short is forgotten.
Such care and accuracy and artistic COM
pleteness and effect are apparently only
possible by great ingenuity combined
with the enthusiasm of the genuine
lobbyist.
