5000 CHILDREN
GIVE TREASURES
FOR POOR KIDDIES
Santa Claus Storehouse at
COS Chestnut Street a
Veritable Fairyland Of
Wondrous Playthings.

More than 5000 children or Philadelphia
have responded to the appeal sent out by
the PUBLIC Ledger Santa Claus Club
for donations of toys and nickeis to give
the poor kids OF the city, with no pros
poets Of Christmas celebration, huge
surprise on the morning OF the 25th. Even
the optimistic Santa Claus Lady In charge
OF Krss KrinEles storeh0use, at COG
Chestnut street, did not dream Of such an
avalanche.
: Exactly two weeks ago an unoccupied
office was opened and two long boards
placed In 1t. II was barren OF decorn-
tions and devoid Of cheerfulness. Today
that same Office looks like veritable
fairyiand. It is treasure house filled
brimfui with myriads of wondrous toys
and doilies and all the things that kid
dies dream about on Christmas eve when
the time draws near for Santa to pull
UP to the chimney with his reindeer team.
The two tables are no longer bare. In
fact, they have been supplemented by
three more, and on all of them Thousands
of contributions, 1ossy-haired doll babies
and wee animals. TO say nothing of the
mechanical toys, are fairly crowdlns each
other to the edges for room, and it's all
that the Santa Claus Lady and the sew
erai assistants she has had to press into
service can do to find space for those
gtill coming
Lying In one corner OF the room an
important looking stack OF bundles, not
yet opened, gives promise of moro sur
prises for tho poor ldddies. More Than
n thousand dollies alone have been sent
in. together with a thousand Christmas
stockings filled with toys and candies.
In addition, there are engines. trains,
forts. soldiers, drums, games. books and
a whole menagerie OF lions, sheep, dogs
and pussy cats living amlcably on one
table. awaiting distribution Christmas
morning.
From all over the city the churches
are sending to the Santa Claus Lady
lists OF children In their parishes whose
Christmas will be only a hearsay affair.
II some one doesn't look after them, and
so volumlnous are the lists that Santa
had to declare against the reindeer method
OF transportation from the very begin
ming Starting very early in the morn
ing of the 25th. So PUBLIC and EVENING
LEDGER automobiles will whiEz away,
here, there and everywhere, with speed
that will make Director Taylor's rapid
transit plan seem snail-like, and before
the day Is very far advanced, the good
work will have been accomplished.
