July IL, 1S61.-The Confederate
forces have drawn in their pickets to
the immediate vicinity of Fairfax Court
House, thus falling back about two or
three miles" says special message
received in Washington this morning.
The same report says the Confederates
have struck their tents at Fairfax
Court House, evidently in preparation
for movement of all their troops in
that immediate vicinity"
A correspondent of The Evening Star
adds this information from nearby
Falls Church, Va: "All this evidently
means that they (the Confederates)
have gotten wind of the story of the
purpose of Gen. Mcdowell to advance
shortly on their position there in over
whelming force"
The correspondent thinks the Con-
federates are getting ready to back
out" of this position, unless they in
tend Ito advance in this direction
toward Washington.
They certainly received reinforce
ment of heavy artillery at Fairfax
Court House yesterday" concludes the
somewhat bewildered chronicler of
events.
The members of the New York list
regiment were IN nigh glee this FORE
noon at the prospect of being sent out
of the city. The men received infor-
nation and rumorS which led them to
believe that the regiment has been or
dered to leave Washington within "a
hours by way of Alexandria for Fair
fax Court House, and they were happy
at the prospect not only of a change
in scenery, but of brush" with the
Confederates as they express it. The
War Department is endeavoring to keep
all movements secret.
The list New York is looked upon
generally as being virtually as eff
cient as many of the regular United
States regiments. The regiments dis
cipline and training for some time has
been the same as the Regular Army.

Though Smith mingled in a diSsi-

the pleasures of living, his piety was
great. He died universally mourned.

Short Vacations, Long Bills.

The great American week end is the
frequent cause of curtailed vacations,
and you need not be an especially ex-
pert economist to place your probing
finger on the reason.
The expense of week end may be
roughly divided up into these parts:
Railroad fares, board and lodging, en-
tertainment and supplies.
Frequently woman decides on a
week end jaunt to some far-off point
and pays enough railroad fare alone to
afford her a pleasant time at home.
Board and lodging over a week end
are sometimes as much as an entire
week in the country would cost one
The reason is obvious. There is a
greater demand for accommodations
over week ends than during the week.
Prices ascend as a result.
In many instances the cost of enter
tainment of all sorts is double on Sat-
urday and Sunday what it costs during
the week. AS result one pays the

price of weeks entertainment for
two days of pleasure.
BY sup plies we mean all of the things
one takes along. Because one must
dress UP in most places Saturday nighk
and Sunday. weeks wardrobe may
be required for a single week end.
We have, of course, gone to an ex-
treme here, and showed the situation
at its worst for the week ender.
1t would be enlightening, however,
for many women to compare the costs
of few week ends with the cost of a
real vacation.
The costs are likely to be about the
same, and the benefits and enjoyments
are admittedly more numerous in the
continued stay, when one avoids crowd
ed trains, cramped accommodations
and exorbitant rates. OF course, a vaca-
ton is a personal affair, and some
would rather take their week ends at
higher costs then their vacations at
moderate costs. 1t is important to
know the relative costs, however, and
be sure of getting value received for
your money,

NANCY PACE
Children's Feet Grow Fast
and Outgrow Shoes.
By FLORENCE La GANKE,
By FLORENCE La GANKE,

Frank Marvin was a small lad who
lived close to baby Peter. To tell the
truth Nancy scarcely dared to call her
son a baby any more since he was
just over 2. But she still cuddled
him and enjoyed his young boyishness.
He was all boy, there was no doubt
about that
Perhaps that was why Frank was
such good companion. Frank was
out in the sunshine for hours at a
time. His mother kept him in a sun
suit most of the day. The suit had
small knitted jersey shorts and crossed
straps, which acted quite like suspend
ers.
He was getting a good coat of tan
and a health insurance for the sun
less days of the coming Winter
Nancy felt that her son should be
protected somewhat, and kept him out
of the sun at the middle of the day.
She saw to it, also, that her son wore

Baked Green Peppers.

Allow one large green pepper for
each person to be served. Cut a slice
from the top and remove the seeds
and then place in cool water until
needed. Now mince fine four onions
and then cook until tender but not
brown in four tablespoonfuls of short
ening. Place in bowl and add two
ounces of bacon diced and cooked to
a light brown, one and one-half cup
fulS of fine bread crumbs, two tea
spoonfuls of salt, one teaspoonful of
paprika, half a teaspoonful of thyme,
three-fourthS cupful of milk and one
well beaten egg. Mix and then fill
into six large peppers. Place in a
creased baking pan and add half a
cupful of water. Bake for As minutes
in a moderate oven. Five minutes be-
fore removing from the oven place a
strip of bacon over each pepper. When
nicely Drowned serve.

good-natured. Next morning as soon
as he was dressed the performance was
repeated. She could not understand
it. After three days she discovered he
objected to wearing his shoes.
Then she found that his feet were
cramped into the shoes, which he had
outgrown. An ingrowing toenail was
in bad shape. Forthwith she bought
new shoes, treated the infected toe, and
he was her sunny boy again.
She cautioned Nancy to watch Re-
peters shoes. Children outgrow shoes
more quickly than adults realize.

And the 8. @. A. will do its best to see they
get these things. but toy win go along also
for the association believes fervently that toys
keep fresh the illusions of childhood and give
reality to childish dreams.
The Santa Claus Association of the United
States and Canada was formerly directed
through the New York City headquarters. The
organization is now decentralized the associa-
tons in various cities being related but indie
pendent units. The parent Santa Claus Asso-
citation In New York City, which has been q
model for others throughout two countries, took
root 20 years ago. Its purpose is to make
gifts to toyless, joyleSS children, and for many
years was one Of the largest aims giving organi-
zations in the world.
>HE story of the origin of the association Is
an old one, but like the Christmas story,
viii bear repetition. The Santa Claus Asso-
cations destiny was fixed when John Gluck
was born one Christmas Day less than so
years ago. Johnny soon began to feel that
this dual birthday with Christmas was left
handed compliment Of fate. No one thought
Of Johnny Gluck's day in the greater prepara-
tons for Christmas Day. Birthday candles and
Christmas candles were all the same In Johnny's
home. He grew up wondering If his day would
ever be rescued from the Christmas halo John
Gluck developed into q successful business
man. He was not marriage minded, but dis
ttnctly charity minded. Each Christmas found
him pokng around finding boys and girls whose
homes would be destitute Of Christmas festivi-
ties and pIayings
Finally, there came q Christmas Eve which
in the light Of the chain Of events which fol-
lowed was an important one He was on his
way home when he came across q small boy

tiptoeing to slip q grimy envelope into GAo
postbox AS Gluck stepped forward to help
him his eyes lighted on the address scrawled
on the letter Mister Santie Claus, North
Pole" The man waylaid the posting Of the
letter by the words: Santa Claus is personal
friend of mine; II you give me the letter
win see that he gets it."
As John Gluck turned back toward the shop
ping district for new purchases, shadow fell
across his cOntentment. This little fellow
would be taken care of-he would know the
thrill of an answer to his letter-but what
about that long line of Riddles that stretched
from ocean to ocean who had confidently
mailed letters to Santa Claus. An inquiry at
the post ONCE the next day revealed that EACH
year thousands Of children's letters to Santa
found the only official channel available-the
dead letter office. Thousands Of childish dead
letters representing thousands Of dead childish
hopesl
The man who never had q birthday Of his
very own then and there conceived the idea
Of the Santa Claus Association. He confided
to friends of their friends, and the idea began
to roll up like a huge Christmas SNOWFALL.
Vincent Aston donated an enormous ONCE room
for the Christmas headquarters.
It was not long before the entire Nation
and its neighbor, Canada, became interested In
this unique Christmas organization. The donor
friends Of John Gluck in New York grew into
thousands. Children's letters which had gone
through the mails were read over the radio.
Donors popped up like mushrooms from all
over the continent The war came and the
Santa Claus Association was swamped with re-
quests Its volunteer forces stretched in ana
ending lines. Children from other countries
hearing of this benevolent American Santa
Claus sent pitifM little requests addressed to
Santa Claus, America, United States" And
sometimes the association found O donor who
accepted an overseas charge.

lished each year by the association, states:
mo center of population is too small or no
city too large to organize or operate q Santa
Claus Association. Under our decentralized
system each community elects its own officers
and handles its own funds. We never try to
freeze out another Christmas charity but CO.
operate instead. The kiddies' Christmas is far
more important than promoting the welfare Of
this association. We are not the inventors of
Christmas. We have only one program, the
poor little Riddles. They are not beggars any
more than the rich child and are entitled "a O

Sixty thousand letters were turned over to
