here, for putting in an appear

Christmas Story in plays, tab

very beautiful, if sincerely

many seem to worship Christ
only as a tiny helpless babe,
not as their Lord and Savior.
With Christmas trade fin

it is that the women of the Ma

couple of hundred women

as we'll as in the cities and
towns of England, one may see
the magic word "Sale" en-
blazoned across the windows
of most clothing, footwear,
and furniture stores, but more
particularly clothing stores.
For days prior to the sale the
windows are filled with a vari-
ETY. of goods marked down to
ridiculously low prices. Some
women queued outside west

the doors open at 9 am. We
can only hope they got what

were long lines in two direc-

the large stores. l came home
