Or, if you buy the present, espe-
cially for your wife, buy her some
thing useless. Useful things are adj
mirable, but useless thing gives the
most pleasure, because it seems like
a real present. Do not initiate the

party was planned. The Queen Candy
Company offered to give everyone
bag of candy, and the Merchants
Transfer company, the "A b c. Auto
Livery, the White Sightseeing Com
pany and the Public Service Company
furnished transportation.
For days the orphans had been talk
ing about their big party, planning
what great time they would have
But it happened that their young,
small imaginations couldn't stretch
quite big enough to imagine all the fun
they really would have.

had never been to party before-a
good many who had never even seen
picture show. Little Myrtle, s years
for instance. and Erlinda, . and Lu'

1t was their first real party. They
had never seen movie show" Theii
happiness was mingled with awe and
establishment, as they saw men and
women live and talk and move about
on a canvas screen.
Truly, these little Alices of the or
pbanages went to Wonderland Thurs

Santa had stuffed movie party ant
nearly 100 pounds of candy and ton:
