hair?"
The girl hastily put her hands to her head and
found instead of the long flowing locks the pride
of the entire household, only short, stuBby bris-
ties. She ran to a mirror and burst into tears.
Mrs. Long, believing the disappearance of the
hair was due to a childish prank. cajoled and
threatened, but Thema declared that she did not
know what had become of the pretty golden
brown tresses, which were 10 inches long and
which she had worn when she retired.

HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS
PLACE BAN ON BUNS
TO BRING XMAS JOY
1000 William Penn Pupils
Taboo "Cinnamons'' and
Pickles to Buy Gifts for
Poor.

Two thousand girls, students at the
VILLA Penn High School will deny
themselves pickles and cinnamon buns
until Christmas, so they may have funds
to buy toys for an equal number of kim
dergnrten pupils.
This will be in accordance with a per
sonal sacrifice" plan devised by the
Students Association, OF which Miss
Reba Kline is president. Homes that
would otherwise be devoid Of sunshine
will be illuminated through the efforts
of this army of Misses Santa Claus
Pickles and cinnamon buns! These are
the most important elements in a high
school pupils luncheon. but without
hesitation the 1000 girls have reached the
heroic conclusion to fast from them. In
consequence there will be drum for
Charlie and baseball hat for Jack and
dolls for Kitty and Anna.
The matter Of dressing will be left to
a committee of experts. And each imi-
tation baby will be garbed in laces, for
this is to be no mean affair. The In
structions OF Miss Kline were that it
should all be kept n secret but girls viii
be girls and the entire affair leaked
OUT today through dozen different
sources.
In the distribution of the presents the
girls will have the cooperation of Miss
Anna W. Williams. supervisor of kinder
gartens. and her assistant. Miss Virginia
Jacobs. They will tell what each child
needs most, what kind of doll will ap-
peal most to Mary and whether Eliza
beth prefers candy TO a miniature piano.
In South Philadelphia there is lame
boy who won't need a hockey stick, so
Miss Williams will see he receives a
pocket electric light. His fourSyear-old
sister will be treated to a coach, one Of
those big ones that looks as II II be-
