of the war orphans know any English
and that books printed in English
| therefore, would be of small value to
them-dolls and money-cash.
| Clothing, if not new, should at least
be only slightly worn and wholly weara-
BILE. Shoes, stockings, underwear. boys
| suits, girls dresses, caps, hats, sweaters
and the like are wanted for children; all
kinds of clothing for women are de-
sired This. the Christmas ship editor
wants to repeat, must be new Quaran-
tine regulations in this and foreign coun-
tries forbid the shipment of clothing
| that is much worn or soiled. But the
Christmas ship editor does not believe
of the Christmas ship will send old, use
less, WORKOUT articles of no value.
! Remember. these articles are intended
for Christmas gifts for those whose
sad day were it not for the gifts from
the boys and girls, and the grown ups,
of America. One doesn't send old, dis
carded. useless things as gifts.
Another child worker for the war
orphans has promised her cooperation In
the task of loading the Christmas ship
| Madeleine Lazard Won Unschuld. who is
only six years old, but who is known to
a great many Washingtonians as an
accomplished pianist, is to give recital
for the benefit of the Christmas ship
The recital is to be given in the audi
forum at Woodward & Lothrop's
Little Miss Won Unschuld has fixed the
price of admission. She says: 1.-The ad-
mission fee will be an article of warm
clothing for war orphan or for an
orphans mother" Any article of cloth
ing will be received at the door-a pair
OF warm stockings, warm knitted cap,
a suit of underwear, or anything suitable
for a boy, girl or for a mother left
husbandless and homeless by the war.
Contributions From Northeast
Hundreds of persons inspected the
display of clothing bought by Santa
Claus Ship Club. No. /, of Northeast
washington. yesterday afternoon and last
night. The outfits-six dozen of them,
completed, half for girls and half for
boys-are on exhibition in the window
at O'Donnelrs drug store, at the north
west corner of 9Th and F streets. Cards
accompanying the display read: Com
plete Outfits for Six Dozen Orphans"
Gift of Santa Claus Ship Club, No L,
Orphans of Europe" and will You
Help? Ask the Christmas Ship Editor
of The Star What s2.1O Will Do"
The outfits. which have been describ-
ed in detail. were purchased with
money raised by club of boys and
girls of Northeast Washington. The
first entertainment given by the club
was lawn fete at the home of Mrs
c. Fegan. secretary treasurer of the
club. This affair netted more than $40.
A benefit entertainment at the May
croft motion picture park realized a
handsome sum for the club. This
was added to by another benefit motion
picture show at the Princess Theater.
A personal canvass made by club men,
bers completed the fund, which
amounted to slightly more than $157.
The money was spent by Mrs. A. H.
McGhan, president of the club and
Mrs. Fegan, who bought with it COM
plete outfits of clothing, from the
ground up and from the skin out, for
seventytwo boys and girls These
outfits, now displayed in O'Donnelrs
big window, will form a part of the
cargo of the Christmas ship when the
vessel departs for Europe early next
month
