clans. there were 1893 children who
attended the party at Pizitz store,
given by Mother Goose and Santa
Claus yesterday.
The party, which was staged on the
fourth floor OF the store and which
was Just for fun, did not close until
Santa Claus vanished down the ele-
vator and Mrs Mother Goose flew
away on broom. They win not be
back again until Tuesday Afternoon
at o'clock, when Mrs. Mother Goose
will again entertain.
Children began to gather for the
party as early az 80 and seated
themselves upon the floor where they
could enjoy all the fun. and where
Santa Claus couio get to them with
cakes and nuts.
The affair was such stampede that
Santa Claus had to get on the top of
a table to be heard, and even then the
children seized him my the feet for
fear he would get away. Some of the
boys climbed the Christmas tree, they
were so enthusiastic at the show,
which was really Just planned for
their fun by Mr.. Pisitz. 1t was not a
scheme to sell anything.
Santa Claus probably never was so
well Rugged in his lire and II he
tried to bring everything Christmas
eve that all the kids asked, he would
have to abandon his sleigh forever
and buy truck or battleship.

for the Pizitz store, said:

NEW PORTER STORE
MODEL FOR PARIS
Henry Esders Takes Same
Architect Abroad to
Arrange Design

"Henr' Esders, proprietor of the
leading mems clothing store of Paris,

the new store we are building IN
New Orleans that he Is having II
largely duplicated in his new store
in the heart of the Paris shopping
district" said H. ]. Porter, Sr.
Mr.. Porter stated that he had just
received information to this effect
from the manufacturers who were
making the fixtures for his New Or.
leans store. Henri Esders, the great
Partisan merchant, also employed
Kenneth C. WEIGH, of Grand Rapids,
Mich, the architect who designed the
Porter store in New Orleans, and has
carried him to France to supervise
10th the exterior and the interior de-
signing of his new Paris store.
I'VE feel very highly complimented
that one of the leading Partisan mer-
chants should come to the United
States for design for his new store,
and especially that he should de-
eide to duplicate our design and to
employ the same architect we had"
said Mr.. Porter. Kenneth C. WEIGH,
the architect who designed our store,
is now In Paris, whore he has un-
dertaken the work for the Esders
establishment. BY an interesting CO.
incidence, Mr.. WEIGH was presented
several years ago with medal from
the Society of Beaux Arts of Paris
for excellence of design and execu-
ton"
Reports from the New Orleans
newspapers declare that the new
Porter store in that city viii be one
of the finest in the United states and

Porter stores of Birmingham, Jack
sonville and Nashville. Although II

tention in business circles In the
Crescent city.
"The equipment for our New Or
leans store will be of Hepplewhite
design, and It will be the first install
lation of strict period style applied
in this way" said Mr.. Porter. "Hep-
plewhlte was with Chippendale and
Sheraton, one OF the trinity of mas
ter furniture designers. The Esders

ing his long life in America that
France would recover her ancient
prestige and the provinces of Alsace

American expeditionary forces that
helped achieve that event. MT.
Calame showed his soldier experience

the last business enterprise OF his
life was associations with Captain

FOUR DAYS LEFT
TG PAY INCOME TAX

Only four more days exist in which
to pay the last installment of the 1920
income tax, according to the Internal
revenue department. Thursday, De-.
cen1ber is, is the last day on which
the tax may be paid at the office Of
the department in the new post of
flee building.
Due. to the fact that there was
some little delay in the moving of the
offices from the old post office build
ing to their quarters in the new
building, the payment of the tax has
been delayed to a large extent. 1t
is urged by the department that tax
payers make every endeavor to pay
their taxes as soon as possible and
avoid the last minute rushNon Thurs
