 Ancient English Christmas Car ols," collected and arranged by Edith Rickert, with eight plates from Medieval Book of Hours is a little book of real charm, but no music is included.
 There re iany demands for Christmas suggestions and books may be out on first inquiry. If that be the case there is still attractive and practical material to be found in magazines and this may be had by consulting the reference librarian. For example current and bound ma gaines will supply articles in deco rating the home for Christmas, on making wreaths, hristmas cards games and pageants, suitably deco rating the table. This and much more, may be had for the asking. It is hoped that anyone interested will make the inquiry.

GIRL R0bBER IS GLIDING BANKERS
Texas Miss Calls Them ''Saps''
 for Their LaXity

Austin, Tex, Dec. 13 R = Char acterizing officials of the Farmers National bank at Buda as "saps'' for allowing her to rob them of nearly s1,oOo Saturday. Miss Rebec- ca Bradley. 22 year old stenograph- CT, today waited at her mothers home here while the authorities sought to determine whether s5,- 900 bond was sufficient for her re- lease on a charge of robbery with firearms.
 Although she declined to supply details of her escapade after being released Saturday night, she told officers how she drove her automo- bile to the small country town near here Saturday and after persuading the bank officials that she was a newspaper woman assigned to write an article on the community, forced the cashier and another em- ploye into the vault and escaped with approximately $1.0O0 in cash. She told officers she merely sought a thrill
 College Graduate
 Miss Bradley. a graduate of Texas university and now working for a higher degree, is employed in the office of Dan Moody, attor- ney general and governor-elect. On being arrested few hours after the robbery, she told of driving to Round Rock, near here, Saturday morning and visiting with officials of the Farmers State bank there. She then returned to Austin and continued on to Buda.
 Obtaining access to the cashier cage on the pretext of borrowing a typewriter, she covered the two men with a pistol and with the re- mark, T mean business" forced them into the vault. She then took what money she could find and re- turned to her home, where she placed the loot and the pistol in a package and mailed it to herself in care of the university station. The bank officials soon freed them- selves and were able to secure the number of her car. The automobile was found at local garage and her arrest followed.
 Although police have not yet announced any theories as to the motive for the robbery, they were considering statement by Otis Rogers, Amarillo attorney, that he was Miss Bradleys husband. He told newspapermen at Amarillo she was his wife while inquiring for information about the "happer holdup case" He later denied the statement, but declared he would come here today to aid the girl.
 Mrs. G. E. Bradley. the girls mother, who is also employed at the state capitol here. denied her daughter was married.
