STRANGE SPIRIT

Sing Christmas Hymns,
HOLIDAY MOOD IN OMAHA
By A. r. GROH.

Have you observed the new
Christmas spirit ir the Omaha
stores? You have felt it but perhaps
you haven't stopped to analyze it,
There is a certain broad kindness
that has nothing TO do with dollar
making and that goes farther than
Santa Claus.
| The religious note is in it and the
whimsicality of the childlike faith in
fairies and the note of helpfulness for
the helpless.
went into the Burgcss-Nash store
yesterday. Where | expected to hear
the usual rush OF cash girls, the ring
OF cash registers, the hum of business,
] heard the peal of an organ and a
choir singing, 20, Little Town OF
Bethlehem"
The organ and choir were in the
balcony. On the main floor crowds
stood and listened. Business vent on
as usual for those shoppers who were
in hurry. but in a subdued way.
The beautiful ancient "goodly
Carowles to be songs to the glory OF
God spread their influence here in
this twentieth century. up-to-date
store just as they did long, long ago
when sung by bands of monks and
choirs of other good people in me-
diaeval villages of Germany, France
and England.
O. little town OF Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie.
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet In thy dark street shineth
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
Choir Of Clerks.
A choir made up OF salespeople
sings these carols twice every day.
Down at the Brandeis stores | saw
a sign over a booth with letters two
feet high: Hans Anderson Toys"
Little cradles. doll beds, chairs, cup
boards, are displayed, and there is a
picture Of an old man, half reclining
in chair, working. This is Hans
Anderson in his workshop at the
county hospital. Thirty-three years
ago Hans Anderson was injured in a
runaway on the bakery wagon he
was driving. and since then he has
been paralyzed.
But he has risen above his mis-
fortune. He has become an expert
at carving and fashioning these arti-
cles. And the big department store
is marketing his handiwork for him,
making him feel that he is filling
useful place in, the work. Think of
the added zest to his work given by
knowing that there is demand for
his toys. "@-
Mother Goose a Clerk.
In the Orchard & Wilhelm toy de-
partment found more imagination
in business. The clerks there are
dressed in costumes OF characters
dear to children. There is Juanita,
the Indian maiden. You may be
waited on by Mother Goose herself.
Or you may buy toys from Hans or
Carl, Dutch boys, or from Katrina
or katrinka, in German peasant cos
tunes. You can buy French doll
from Celeste or Marie, living French
dolls. Or you can purchase a woolly
sheep from Little Bo Peep.
Haydens is splendidly decorated in
Christmas style and especially in the
toy department where Santa and holly
and evergreen combine to create the
loftiest Christmas joy.
In the other stores, too, there is
the evidence of this new and pleasing
spirit. Underneath the primal hum
of business at its busiest is the peace
full note Of those everlasting things
for which Christmas really stands.

The washer will be about twice the size of the one at No. s mines, and will be modern and up-to-date in every respect. Plans have also been completed for a similar washer to. be installed at Docena and work of erection will be probably started within the next few days. Several cars of steel and material were carried to these points yesterday afternoon from the Ensley steel plant.

" HIS is the last day in which
 Where Are My Children?" the
 l sensational film drama, will be shown at the Majestic theatre. It will be the last chance for those who haven't witnessed this magnificent production to view this modern tale of selfish desire which has wrecked so many lives.
 It is estimated that about 10000 per- sons have already viewed, Where Are My Children?'' at the Majestic theatre this week The Majestic has been crowded every afternoon and evening to the doors and the final per- formances today are expected to cap the climax by registering a record for attendance. No children are all lowed at any of the performances of Where Are My Children?"
 The plot of Where Are My Chill dren?" is familiar, as it concerns the story of young married woman who desirous of enjoying life without the least inconveniences decided that she would not embarrass herself with chill dren. Later, through the death of the daughter of her housekeeper, her husband prosecutes the society doc tor and confession follows which duplicates his wife. The revelation stuns the husband, who, confronting his wife, denounces her utter selfish ness. Of course in the end the wife is forgiven, but the play presents pow erful moral, which is not lost by the audiences.
