AdUenfureS
With a Purse

TT IS hardly to be wondered II the
little people pause longest in the toy
department before military toys or
toys which are suggestive OF the war.
Cannons, soldiers, tents-all should have
an unusually strong appeal this year
They attracted me today, too, and while
walking around among them, 1 heard
little voice cry, "Oh, look, Muvver, dear!
Real army trucks! Wheels, an every
thing" And sure enough they are real
army trucks, wooden. with wooden
wheels. Even the steering wheel and
lights are of wood, and. Of course, the
truck is painted gray. but the best part
of all Is the khaki cover which unfolds
and fits over the top of the truck max
ing 1t look exactly like the army trucks
you have seen. The price of one OF these
complete little trucks is only $l.5O
"Your hair is always so smooth and

many weeks, may be had for twenty

preparation.
Here Is a novel kind of table pad.
You have seen them Of heavy quilting
YOU are familiar with the crocheted ones.
and you no doubt know some one VINO
uses the heavy corded pads. But these
I discovered are made of thin sheets OF
cork, and on each tan colored mat is
painted stenciled design OF flowers
and border in blue, black and white.
They are most artistic, almost too pretty
in fact, to be covered by hot platter
or plate. The price Of the plate size
is twenty-eight cents each, and the
larger sizes are fifty cents Here's

out fear of some one else's choosing the

sSANT,A CLAUS GIRL AIDED
NOW BY BABY DAUGHTER
Mrs Olive May Wilson Hammers Workshop Looks Like That
Kris Krngle as Presents to Cheer Thousands of
...t Poor Are Prepared

1.-THE Santa Claus Girl" Is making
ready to pay her annual visit of good
cheer to thousands of homes throughout
the land. She is Mrs. Olive May Wilson
Hammer, c32 West Seymour street, Ger
rhantown. and for the last five years she
mas made Chrietmas time of joy for
countless poor children.
This year she will send 100, 900 pres
ents to deserving homes. The time
worn. snowcad sleigh will be discarded,
however, in favor of more modern means
of transportation.
The joy-laden gifts of the Santa
Claus Girl' will arrive at their destina-
tions by mail. express, automobile, and
possibly by airplane, but 1t will be all
the same to the happy recipients. The
gifts VIII mean that some one at least
has remembered them, even IL the "old
fellow" himself sometimes forgets.
The Santa Claus Girl" began her
work a few days before Christmas five
years ago. She was approached by a
forlorn child, aimlessly walking the
streets, who asked her for a present.
! She took the child to a store and bought
her gifts that the little one tnought ex-
listed only in the store windows. The
child's joy over her unexpected good
fortune inspired Mrs. Hammer to fur
ther generosity and in the short time
as possible to poor homes in the neigh
borhood.
Since then the program has developed
into almost national proportions. Mrs.
Hammers workship on the second floor
of her Germantown home presents a
scene that would reflect credit upon an
artists conception of the real Santa
Claus mythical habitat somewhere in
the polar regions.
Toys of every description are piled
high in all directions and the ceaseless
activity of catalouging, wrapping, mend
ing, retouching: in fact, all the detail
work that the real Santa Claus Is sup
posed to do goes on with the smooth
ness Of an efficient machine.
An efficient staff of volunteer assist
ants are aiding Mrs. Hammer in her
quest for deserving poor to whom
Christmas means nothing beyond the
fact that 1t falls on December 25.
Months In advance the list Is made up.
the names being forwarded by social
organizations and charitable institutions.
One Of her most enthusiastic aids is
Miss Olive May Hammer, her two-year-
old daughter. This tiny girl counts that
moment lost when she is not busy with
the intricacies Of parcel-tying and the
other little aids that her baby fingers
can render. Her husband, Birchall Ham,
mer, is an equally active co-worker.
No requests for presents goes unre-
warded. The Santa Clause Grip has
long list of wealthy patrons and she
has only to ask for more contributions
and her wish Is gratified
Subscriptions In money and gifts ar
rive daily from men and women prom
inent in all walks of life. Mrs Wood

A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose
TT DIDN'T take long after the word
l. was given that the war was over, for
the French couturers to get ION the
job and start planning "after-the-
war" clothes. There isn't the slightest
doubt but that these clothes will be
colorful and that they will express, as
plainly as words could depict, the JOY
that all France feels that the struggle
has ended OF course, they will be diff.
ferent in other ways, too; the line and
the silhouette will undergo change.
The French couturiers will now bend
every effort to show what they can do
and thus hold their position as the crea-
tors of dress.
For those who have gone without new
things for so long that they have an
actual craving for new frocks, the
shops offer wonderful opportunities.

Committee on Military Affairs Decides
George Creers Bureau IS Ahead
OF Work.

Washington, March 27.--The issu-

the ground that they are misleading
and would convey an altogether false
impression of the extent of this coun-
try's aeroplane manufacture.
The pictures and the captions indi-
Gated that hundreds OF aeroplanes are
on the way and that thousands are
nearly ready for shipment.
II developed before the committee
that the captions" were written by

have obtained his information regard

statement issued by Secretary OF War
Baker shortly before his departure
for France Struncky Is to be sum-
