example today which many manufac-
turers of toys or clothing in this
vicinity would do well to follow. This
firm makes a balloon ornamentee

ing knowledge of the Empty Stocking
project, the company shipped a gross
of these balloons te the Evening Star
office, instructing the Empty Stocking
editor to distribute them among de-
serving children.

Story Of Five Little Girls.
Here's the story of five little girls
who show the proper Christmas spirit.
They are members of Miss Lucy b..
Webb's Sunday school class at the
Fairmount Baptist Church. Early in
November they started dressing dolls.
intending to give them to poor chill
dren at Christmas. Learning of the
Empty Stocking Club, the girls de-
cided to make their gifts by that
means. They are Lillian Garfield, IL,
1876 Newark street; Dorothy Pownall,
10, 10 South Seventh, street; Ethel
Long, 10, so Fairmount avenue; Ethel
MacNabb, 13, 1872 South Seventh
street and Bertha Tilley, IL, 217 South
Orange avenue.
These are just few of the people
who have helped the Empty Stocking
Club along. Now for those who
haven't. Here are few appeals rec
commended to their attention: ~
