began in the summer, when conscience
said she mustn't crochet what she
wanted to crochet, but what would be
useful come Christmas. Then came
the slogan, "Shop Early" Helen had
shopped early, but that did not mean
she was able to avoid shopping late.
The spirit of Christmas-love, good

Her eyes closed.
"Detour," exclaimed the driver, as

Therefore Clay Hamilton, who had
no wife, drove the jitney. Drove it on

not until they transferred their activi-

Maj. Hesse indicated that the arrests
would be made under the regulation
prohibiting soliciting of business on

this regulation, while not specifically
mentioning the guide business is
broad enough to cover the present sit
