wanted

arms, hungry for dollies, that will be
held out to those in charge of the In

There is one home in Topeka that
Santa Claus is pretty certain to over
look in his annual journey over house
tops and down chimneys. In this
home the mother is TOO i'll to care
about what is going on about her, but
il she were able to invite Santa Claus
to come it would not be possible to
entertain him because the family
purse is empty. Brother and sister
know all about Santa Claus and know
all about Santa's beautiful wares in
Toyland. but until the other day had
no assurance that they were to have
a share in Christmas joy.
Now brother and sister and baby
brother are looking forward gleefully
to next Saturday when they are going
to see a real Trismus tree" for they
have received invitations to the "Inas-

Tree will be received gladly by Miss
Mabel Adams at the 7. w. C. A,
chairman of the committee for the
party. Toys are needed. and books
for boys. Clothing is not solicited, for
the Y. W. desires this to be a real
children's Christmas, with no thought
of charity in the form of old clothing.
