Christmas Bazaar
Held BY Society for
Hard Of Hearing
By Ruth Dean

With line Of prospective shoppers
forming at its doors before opening
time, the Washington Society for the
Hard Of Hearing got of to a good
start this year with Its annual
Christmas bazaar.
The bazaar, which was held Satur-
day At the Society's headquarters.
at 243l Fourteenth street NV, had
the color Of county fair and the
gaiety of the holiday season. The
tables, covered with bright-figured
cloths and presided over by mem
bers Of the Society, were arranged
with Christmas gift suggestions.
which, no doubt, saved many a shop
per from the later headache OF the
last-minute Christmas rush.
The miscellaneous table, presided
over by Mrs. Elizabeth Owen, was a
particular attraction, with its dis
play Of stuffed toy animals, from
dressed penguins to spotted camels.
Another outstanding feature Of
the bazaar was a display OF home
made candles for table settings. The
clever little cplored wax table deco
rations were made by Miss Myra
Brown, who explained she melted
down old candles and remolded them
in jelly molds.
AS always, the biggest feature Of
the bazaar was the apron table,
where more than $50 aprons-big
ones and little ones, fancy ones and
practical ones-were on sale. Some
were sent In by members as far
away as st. Louis, Mrs. Denys r.
Myers, chairman Of the table, ex-
planned. She was assisted in the busy
task Of selling the popular items by
Mrs. Madeline Thecker.
Other tables at the bazaar re-
f1ected the special hobbies Of the
Society members, including such
novelties as tatted earrings. knitted
mufi1ers, stuffed dolls and crocheted
doilies.
No bazaar is without its food
tables and judging from the way
the candies, cakes and cookies dis
appeared, the homemade delicacies
were much in demand. Miss Lena
l.. Burgdorf was In charge OF the
food table while Mrs. Eli Butler
had charge Of the candy booth.
Following luncheon, which was
under the direction of Mrs. Eliza
beth Graham, an added attraction
of. the afternoon was q sketching
booth, set up by Miss Lee Wood
ward, one Of the younger members
of the society.
Miss Minnie M. Hill, president Of
the society, and chairman of the
bazaar. appeared pleased with the
popular response to the benefit,
which last year drew more than
200 persons with proceeds netting
around $500.
Judging from this years attend
ance, the society's benefit was a
success. It will use the proceeds
to buy the necessary things which
help to make the headquarters q
clearing house for all problems of
the hard of hearing. This year
it hopes to realize purchase Of the
much hoped for hearing aid dem
onstration center which may be
started before Februiry !.

Gunman SIS and Shoes

A holdup man armed with a Ger

tenth street NV, of her purse
containing $35 and also her shoes
last night as she was going into her
home, police reported.
Miss Ward, head food checker

walking to her front porch when the
man stepped up behind her and
forced her to 60 to an alley nearby.
She said the man told her this is a
German gun that won't make noise
and if you make any noise I'd Just
as soon shoot YOU"
After taking her purse, the bandit
then removed her shoes and told
her to wait in the alley for five min
utes or he would blow her brains
out"
She described the man as about
% years old, of medium height and
build, with sandy hair and wearing
brown suit.

put it around your neck, please, :"
offers the sailor.
This draws q historical laugh from
your wife thinking what is going to
happen to her wedding couture. You
don't have couture, so you wear it.
She sneaks by the Marines clutching
it to her chest.
Halfway back to the chapel you
see sailor on watch whom you
suspect has been watching the whole
affair. He starts to stop you and
then sees the disc.
The wedding is swell. You take
note that good marriage ceremony
has slipped by the Marines and
censors and become official.
Outside the chapel after the we'd
ding are still the two Marines. Do
you get out the gate near your car?
No, you still are not on their list.
So it's back to the next gate with
your disc fiuttering against your
white coat in the breeze. You feel a
little better when you learn the bride
had to wear one during the rehearsal
the day before and was afraid she
would have to sport 1t at the real
thing. A rabbit slips under a bush
| in your path and you wonder how he
got IN without one.
You give the discs back to the
sailor and your wife mumbles it was
lots Of fun. You call it day won-
dering how much the Navy pays the
men out of public funds to make
! things 80 pleasant for the public.
