 OUR CHRISTMAS PARTY
 A most wonderful party is going 1 to be given at the school on Friday, December 2. Don't miss it. Be. sure to come.
 Bring five nickels and two dimes
 And come for a grand time. 1 Last year we gave George Wash tington party, which was a grand sue heess This year it is going to be much better. You pay a dime which lientit4es you to the auditorium, but goodness knows how much it is go- ing to cost you before you get out. Everything else is a nickel. Candy. Oh, such candy. Ice cream, cake, nuts and just everything good.
 Just as we did last year, we will have the children divided into three tseetions.s One section will be in the basement, while the other two sec tions will be On the first floor, and in the auditorium. When a bell rings everybody will change.
 Those who like stories, pay nickel and you can hear grand ones, and of course everybody wants to know what they are going to get for 1 Christmas Tle fortune teller will tell. you that.
 Everything is going to be Chris masy, decorati tions, stories, candy, pie lures and fortunes.
 Last year some of the children cried because they had more money and nothing to spend it for. This year we will have so much candy 1 that if we gave it to santa Claus he would not have to make any.
 MAI =. 4F11 body MT. Santa Claus Is going to be here with his wife, that's the req son why we have to have it so eark, Santa Claus couldn't get away from his shop any later. He is going to have the cooking room and a large tree in 1t that he is going to bring himself. standing on those long tables, and l the great big Christmas tree will. be in the middle. When you first go in | you pay a nicllet and then draw q number and santa Claus will give 1 you a package with that number on r it.
 In another room we will haze pie ture of santa Claus in which poor Santa has lost his whiskers. Mrs Santa is very much worried over it and has engaged a detective. Some | body found them,- think it was his l dog. but he deosn't know where they l belongs on hin., so we are going to bifndfold a child and let him pin 1 them on. The one who gets them nearest. right will be given a hand some prize. Monday.
 l We also will have a freak show which consists of the tallest man in tho world and the fattest man in the world, and just lots of foreign non- keys that were brought over here by pr. Dolitle.
 If you don't spend all your money we are thinking seriously of having a highwayman to stand at the door and take all the mony (you haven't spenD away from you. So you had better spend 1t all before you go out.
 Remember the date, Friday, De- cember :, is our wonderful Christmas party. Begin to save your nic<els and dimes right now. Invite all your friends and tell them to also do so.
