Something new and original came
up when Earl Rotherick, president or

lined up for the potato race, and at
the signal they skipped across the
dance floor. II was no difficulty TO

heroines fell. but they certainly sue

by their repeated efforts TO pick up a
large potato with a teaspoon.
The boys then had chance at the
potato game, after which the thread
and needle game followed. Six prizes
were awarded, a sewing box, two
boxes Of candy, two toy horses and a

signs OF Xmas One would have
thought she was very happy II they
had looked at her, but a close OBJ
server would have noticed the sorrow
In her face. Lucy was sad because
she would have To spend the best
time OF the year alone. Her father
and mother were travelling with de-
tectives, who were searching for
Lucy little lost sister All of her
brothers and sisters were spending
the holidays with college friends.
Suddenly she jumped up from her
easy chair and said TO the maid: Il
know what III do; I'll get some poor
little girl TO spend the holidays with
me. Bring me my wraps, Marie, and
i will go down 20 Mr.. Randolph's home
and get him TO find me little girl.

exclaimed Lucy.
Il said her name was Dorothy An

About half an hour later Lucy and

down house. The door was opened
and young man asked, who's
there?"
1T is |, Mr.. Randolph. You know
me, Tom. Open the door and let this
