NEW YORK What service
girls overseas want for Christ
mas are gifts in general which
they can't get for themselves,
and in particular items that can
be used or cherished without
adding to their burdens.
For tips on what to ship dur
ing the Christmas mail month
that begins Sept. Is and ends
Oct. Is, you can rely upon hints
from girls recently returned
from the various theaters of
war, PIX officers, Red Cross
workers, and WACs, who, in an
effort to aid shoppers, have
staged a display of gifts at the
Women's Military Service Club.
Christmas gift apparel :le
woman serving overseas will
like, say girls who know, are
certain clothes that are strictly
not G.. I. Under the heading
come glamorous bathing suits,
play toys or ski suits, fancy
lounging robes and slippers.
dainty lace-trimmed lingerie for
wear with off-duty clothes,
sheer stockings, pretty handkec-
chiefs and colorful scarves. Of
course, you won't send a femme
fataIe union suit to New Gale
donna, nor a sheer nightie to
Labrador.
Also acceptable are regula-
ton gloves, handbags and shoes
WAC can wear with her Off
duty dress. The dress itself is an
excellent Christmas gift posi-
bility. So are extra shirts.
Gifts TO consider, after check
ing with friends and relatives in
order to avoid Implications, are
leather folding picture frames,
Identification bracelets, silver
dog tag chains, personalized sta
tionery, good sun glasses, cam
eras films and books. Bear in
mind that the stated preference
is for current best sellers.
Food is also a gift that cheers
provided it isn't G.. ~, such as
olives, anchovies, sardines, fruit
cake and MONS special brand of
cookies. But fruit cake should
60 in an alright container; cook
les must be packed tight.
Cosmetics, especially those
that appear in limited variety at
Post Exchanges, bring loud
Whees from girls in uniform.
Some favorites are nail polish,
nail polish "sealers," lipsticks,
face and hand creams. Cologne
and perfume in floral scents are
preferred, and girls over there
say the cream and cake type
are good travelling companions.
Some items which can be aW-
fully important to a girl who
may not be able to get them are
skirt hangers, hair pins, facial
tissues, elastic by the yard (pink
or white), zippers, and starch

.Orpheus Club
Presents 18th
Fall Concert

Tuesday evening, December 5, the
Wyandotte Orpheus club presented
again a very pleasurable concert,
introducing as guest artist Miss Lii
Ian Chookasian, young Chicago
contralto.
The overall effect Of the concert
was one of light enjoyable music,
pulling a slowly responding audience
into warmth by the climax Of the
program.
The first group was the most
serious in intent, starting with
Wake, for the Sun" by Henry Had
ley. Hadley's brilliant setting Of
this passage from Omar Khayyam
was well interpreted by the club.
Requiem" by Sidney Homer gave
an indication of what the Orpheus
Club is capable in tone quality. Mr..
Hulbert's timing was perfectly done.
Especial notice should be due the
beautiful bass quality on this num-
Der. This was followed by Cigars
YEA, Cast Me From Heights of
the Mountains" The technique ex-
hibited in this number was not fully
appreciated, I am sure, by the lis
tening audience. Billiards. Sword
of Ferrara" completed this group
in q hold climax
The second chorus group was COM
posed of Negro songs, and its per-
Torrance was excellent. This was
by far the outstanding group Of the
program, and the club seemed to
feel more free and confident in its
work. Hall Johnson's arrangement
of STEAL Away" was breathtaking-
ly done and showed a considerate
treatment of the simplicity inher-
ent in a piece Its Me, o Lord"
looSened the spirits of the club and
audience by use of a tricky arrange
ment by Claude Kean. The most eff
fective number of the group was
Bantock's Somebody Knockin' Z"
which was done with verve, decision
and good tone. The group was fin
ished with Mac Gimsey's Sweet
Little Jesus Boy" in quiet restrain
ed religious tone. Bouquets to the
OrpheuS on this group!
The third choral group opened
with Pearl Curran's Dawn, ar
ranged by Carl Deis, a modern piece
Of harmonic beauty. Well done were
the next two numbers of lighter
vein, Heads when I Think Upon
the Maidens" and Bartholomew
arrangement of the Finnish folk
song. '"Tulatulla The group closed

TELLS EXPERIENCES
OF MERCHANT MARINE
IN MARIANAS BATTLE

William w. Irwin, a boatswaiI1' S
mate in the Merchant Marine, is
now home on a 30-day leave fol-
lowing a trip to Saipan and Tinian
during which he experienced nine
area bombings and saw four of his
shipmates lose their lives through
Japanese SNEAK action
Irwin arrived last week at the
home Of his sister, Mrs. LaVerne
Emer, 1885 Seventh street, following
a years service with the Merchant
Marine. Prior to enlisting in the
Maritime service, he was employed
as special investigator for the
Murray corporation, Detroit.
His ship was part of a convoy
supplying food, medicine, planes and
other fighting equipment to the
Marines on the islands. While in
the Marianas, Irwin found oppor-
tunity to go ashore on Tinian island

with a love song, "Blue Are Her
Eyes" by Winter Watts, Of which
the opening lines were particularly
beautiful and expressive.
As was traditional the final group
was of Christmas numbers. Two of
the numbers were Of old English
origin, and talented young men,
Der of the Orpheus Club, Robert
Black, made the arrangements es-
pecially for the concert. Both the
arrangements and the execution
deserve commentator. ct h e
Friendly Beasts" required four SOLO
lists, and all turned out finished
work (John Singleton, Robert
Black, Robert Stewart and John
Bernie).
Harry Wurster deserves a bouquet
for his tenor solo In Charming Le-
febreS AT His Cradle" 1t was SUI
perbly done. The chorus made a
beautiful accompaniment, and the
tone throughout the whole piece was
smooth and carefully placed.
The Russian Carol Of the Bells
was smoothly and resonantly sung
and was repeated for the audience
who by this time were warming to
the performance. A we'll executed
climax was presented In DR.. David
sons arrangement of eye Watch
ers and Ye Holy Ones" The tradi-
tional Silent Night" ended the
program.
Miss Chookasian is gifted with an
extraordinary range and tonal quail
ity. Her first group was well de-
signed to exhibit this and contained
Invocation to Orpheus" by Peri
Kindly Forest" by Caldara, BohIn' s
Calm AS the Night" and Thomas
MY Heart Is Weary from Made
sha." All were done with much
feeling by the young contralto. The
audience responded more warmly
to Miss Chookasian's second group
in which she did stirring work on
Rachmaninoff's Silence Of Night"
Hageman's touching do Not Co.
My Love-" and MacFayden's whirl-
ing Love in the Wind" She COM
pleted her programmed numbers
with the Aria from RELATIONSHIPS
Jeanne dare" "Adieu Forests" AS
an encore Miss Chookasian did a
catching rendition of Comm Thru
the Rye. Miss Chookasian had for
her accompanist Mrs. Dorothy Lane
from Chicago, who gave excellent
support to the singer. The piano
was bit too loud in the beginning
but it was soon toned down.

Entry Of Lottie Wolf
Runs First and Third
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
GULFSTREAM PARK, Fla, Dec
23.-Mrs. Lottie Wolf, Detroit owner
had her horses run first and third
today in the Maryland Purse, fea-
ture of the closing day of the 90 day
race meet here.
Ted Atkinson, leading jockey OF
1914, scored his 281st victory oil
the year by guiding Red Dock to
a three-length decision over Mrs
E. Canning's Pistol Pete. Romulus
the other Wolf colorbearer, lost the
place by a half length. Over a
heavy track, Red Dock ran the mile
and sixteenth in 1895 and paid
only $2.7o.
Apprentice Buddy Mills, top VIM
ming rider of the meeting, won the
Governor O'Conor Purse astride
Midnight Ride for his goth score.
The thoroughbred Tiger Call beat
the COW horse Joe Palooka by 5
lengths in a special quarter-mile
match race. The muscular cold
blooded horse, pride of the cattle
ranges, broke out of the starting
gate first. But Tiger Call over
hauled him before they had gone
halfway.
The contest grew out of an age
old argument: Whether thorough
bred, or hot-blooded horse, can beat
a quarter horse, known as a cold
breed. at the latter's own sprint
distance.
