been no radical style changes. and
so far as boys overcoats are con-
cerned, the belted, either all

often seen. Raglan shoulders ap-

and these are always belted all
around, with slash pockets to add
to their sportiness. About the only

Mother Seeks Christmas Joys
For Her Fatherless Children
CoodfeIIows Have
Chance to Brighten
Youngsters Lives

A widow, with two small chill
dren to support on an income Of
$50 a month, has asked the Good
Fellow Editor of the Washington
Times to help make her little ones
Christmas less cherries.
The youngsters, age four and
six, are old enough to have heard
of the blessed Christmas saint, but
too young to understand why he
calls only at the homes Of rich
little children.
Their mother tells us:
"My husband died three years
ago. 1 have found life pretty
tough but / try to make out the
best 1 can for my babies. Now
1 feel that I can not go on if
they are to have no Christmas.
They want so little, but I am
unable to provide even that"
Between the lines in so many
of the letters we have received is
written a tale of suffering and
pride. They speak of going with
out food that their children might
have enough. And of hungry boys
and girls who ask for food when
the larder is empty. Cold and
cherries little homes, with chill.
dren and adults crowded into one
small room, are commonplace.
And this at a season of which the
angels once sang:

men,"
There can be no peace in homes
