The Doll Parade.

Well, the IDOL parade" is overt
Shepherdstown can now relax and return
to its normal condition. We must admit
that the doll parade was one Of the most
unique and fascinating entertainments
ever held in ShepherdStown. Many OF
the ''Iittle women" who came from so far
away are now lodged in safe and happy
homes. Miss Louise Anna Snyder is the
proud possessor of "Maud Adams"
Mrs. Robert Gibson has the East India
Princess" Mrs. Harry L. Lyme has Mrs.
Hodges exquisite offering, "The Man
From Home" doll.
Miss Marguerite, who came anony-
mously from New York 1T was afterward
discovered it was donated by Mr.. Grin
Johnson, will be disposed OF, together
with the wonderful "Miss America, "
given by Mr.. VIM. Randolph Hearst;
the fascinating "Miss Corby," of Wash
ington the irresistible "Mlss Janis, in
her floating Swaths OF chiffonne the in
nocent and charming "MiSS Brugh," OF
Hagerstown, and others that have notyet

pecially made, which is expected daily.

Miss Sallie Powell. the president of the

share, while the Village Improvement
Society is particularly jubllant over an

their quota of the proceeds. The ladies

stinted praise, while the friends OF Mrs.

No Paper Next Week.


In conformity with ancient and agreea-
BILE custom, no paper will be issued from
this office next week. We admit that IN
this active and progressive age such an
idea seems antiqulted and unenterprlslng
but we don't care. For some sixty
odd years the Register has taken holiday
at Christmas week, and we are not OF a
mind TO break the old custom.
We do not wish, however, 10 prevent
anyone from paying up their subscription
and other dues, and therefore the pub
Usher will keep his office open each day
and will be pleased to write receipts Tor
money.
We offer our most sincere and hearty
wish that every reader OF the Register
NAV have merry Christmas and happy
New Year.
