Charity, the element that breathes
into Christmas-giving the spirit which
brings certain happiness, is gradually
materializing as the dominant note of
the shopping throngs in the streets.
Not only do the store propreitors say
that the sales this year are larger than
ever before, but il is also apparent
that great majority of the shoppers
are buying not only for friends, but
to make some others happy.
A survey of the events scheduled for
tomorrow and Christmas Day reveals
the manifold ways in which this
Christmas charity Will be applied, but
most of it will never be known, be-
cause it is personal and private
gifts distributed by individuals, sent
sometimes even anonymously, and
meant TO make others happy.
The constant downpour of rain yes
terday, which made the uptown streets
soggy with mud and the pavements
dangerous from the fitting points of
umbrella ribs, when the. crowds got
into close quarters, did not interfere
to any appreciable extent with the
: steady buying. The stores were quite
as crowded as on previous days.
II is possible that the rain may have
kept some home and on that account
today is expected to break all re-
cords.
