CHRISTMAS TREE FOR
CHILDREN OF THE STAGE

In New York city and other large
cities there has been a custom for years
to have somewhere-for a long time
Tony Pastors theater in New York
was a gathering place-a Christmas
tree for the children of the stage, a
custom that grew, not out of charity,
but, it was said with all belief, from
genuine love Some of the names that
the people interested in theatricals
most respect have long been associated
with these Christmas trees, and some
of the children who knew them years
ago would today be names to respect,
too, if there were in this country a less
commercialized stage and genuine
standards of acting. But that's anoth-
fer story. They are at least successful
These Christmas trees in the large
cities, taking on the proportions of pub
lie functions. are simply the outgrowth
and enlarged edition of the many little
celebrations that take place and have
taken place wherever there is a young
ster in the company to make the more
or less homesick oldsters think back,
and in that thinking back take a new
interest in the day. 1t is children's
day after all, and all the sentiment of
the stereotyped children's Christmas
story, from the Van Bibber type. with
the rescue of the waif on the street. to

cHRIsTMAsY THOUGHTS.

Some Timely Yuietide Season Advice
For Children and Others.
This is the beginning of the time be-
fore Christmas when every one is
thinking of holiday doings and Christ
mas presents. This, too. is a time OF
great excitement, when the grownups
get tired thinking of what to give and
often tired Of shopping for others. This
again is a time when we children are
still at school and thinking sometimes
real Christmasy thoughts.
What are Christmasy thoughts?
They should be thoughts Of what am
l going to do for poor little Johnny.

DANoE' The dolls wore
their best dresses to the party. They
meant to be very careful not to get
them soiled or mussed. They were
determined to show the Candy chill
dren how fine aud beautiful they were.
The Candy children had only one suit
of clothes each, poor things, and could
not take them off.
The Candy children welcomed their
guests heartily They were rather
awed by the elegance of some of the
dolls who came in their automobiles
and carriages and wore the most stun
ming silk and lace gowns.
At first they all sat around quietly
and chatted. Then some games were
started. The Candy children wished
10 play only quiet ones. lest they chip
their coats or scrape off some of the
paints
"Whoever heard of a party without
| dancing?' one of the more stylish
dolls said s%cornfully.
Now, the Candy children were
afraid to move around much for fear

~oyerheated they would melt. and that
would be the end of them. However.
they knew 1t was only polite to do as
their guests wished. so they said that
if the doll children wished to dance
they would all try some nice quiet
dances.
Each Candy child chose a dolly part
ner and led her out to dance the min
uet. The dolls looked bored. Then
one doll spoke up:
Have you eve turkey trottedY'
The Candy children said no, they
hadn't, but that sounded like just the
dance for little Christmas children.
So those dolls began to turkey trot
with the Candy children.
First they danced slowly; then as the
dolls got excited they whirled around
faster and faster. The Candy chill
dren began to grow warm and melt.
They melted completely, and the dolls
were so frightened that they ran
straight home.
And the next morning when Santa
came in all the Candy children lay in
heaps on the floor.
"Dear, dearr' cried Santa. This is
most unfortunate. with Christmas SO
rear. I'm afraid wen be short OF
Candy children for our Christmas trees
this season."
And. though the little boys and girls
didn't know why. there were few can
dy toys on their trees On Christmas
that year.

"HE Christmas Tree children. as
you may guess, live in Christ
mas Tree Land, which. as you
of course know, is the country
where Santa Claus wonderful palace
Is built. And in this palace the Christ
mas Tree children have a place all to
themselves.
OF all the Christmas Tree children
the dolls are perhaps the prettiest.
They have a room where you will find
dolls of every kind and of every size.
The doll room is just like a big
town, for each family of dolls has a
house. which is furnished just like u
real house.
These doll houses are set up In rows
along tiny streets. Each house has its
little lawn and toy trees standing in
front of 1t. Here and there you will
find a toy dog guarding a front door
or a plump toy cat watching a make
believe mouse. Back of some of the
more fashionable houses are garages
in which toy automobiles are kept or
stables in which there are toy car
FldSeS anu 10Y HofSes+
The dolls have handsome clothes, but
usually they keep them put away until
Christmas Then they know
they will need Them all to wear when
they go to live with the little girls In
Real Folks Land. They dream about
this. Each doll loves to talk about the
dear little girl to whom she is going
and who. she is sure. will love and
care for her tenderly.
You see, Santa Claus is very partic-
ular to take only the best behaved and
good tempered dolls to the little girls.
He makes a list of these and on
Christmas afternoon goes into their
room mi calls out the names of the
favored ones who are to go with him
in his sleigh that year. They all try
very hard to be good, and the dolls
who are left behind always feel asham-
ed and disappointed.
The Candy children are the little
candy folk who are hung on Christmas
trees TO make 1t handsome. They live
in a room all by themselves, where
they have a cute village of their own.
Once Santa said he didn't see what a
Christmas tree would be like without
the sweet little Candy children, and
after that, I'm afraid, the Candy chill
dren put on a good many funny airs
In the Candy village live dear lit
tie chocolate Santa Clauses, eolored

needed them all

MEMBERS TAKE PART.
MAYOR SEEKS LEGAL ADVICE
Motion That Minutes of March Meet
ing Be Amended so as to Abolish
Office Internationally is
Laid on Shelf.

YaZoo City.-The old council, with
It's retiring members, MI. d. A. Swazye,
and j. c. Hollingsworth present, held
a meeting, the minutes we're read and
]. o. Stricklin made a motion that the
minutes be amended so that they
would read that at the March meeting
the office of city attorney was abol-
ished, and the city attorney was or
dered to write an ordinance for this
action, which was to be approved by
the council. The minutes read that an
ordinance had been passed, which abOl-
ished the office of city attorney. Mr..
Stricklin bitterly denied having voted
on such an ordinance, whereupon Mr..
Swazye contended that the motion was
made by himself and that he had voted
to have the office abolished uncondi-
~tionally. A vote vas taken and the
motion of Mr.. Stricklin was lost by a
majority of two votes, and Mr.. Strick-
lin then made a motion to have the
meeting declared illegal, claiming that
the city charter called for no such
meeting, but the mayor refused to put
this motion.
At the night meeting Mr.. Stricklin
again made this motion and Mr.. e. R.
Holmes, who is an applicant for the
position of city attorney, took the floor
in behalf of Mr.. Stricklin's motion.
However, the mayor refused to put the
motion, claiming that he needed legal
advice in the matter.
