I PHILLIP AND HIS TRIP TO TOWN. I

“"CI‘IJ‘OI‘ti‘ﬂI‘CJ‘G‘l‘iI9‘tﬁ‘tﬂ

‘I‘ﬂ

In one Of the great grey stone mansions
near Central Park, in New York, Where the
new fallen snow glistened from every cre-
vice, that the servant who had been dis-
patched to clean away “eveiy ﬂake of that
annoying snow” had failed to 1each, liV ed
little th1ee- --year Old Phillip.

He would sit by the' horn and draw pic-
tues of “Santa Claus” while nurse read
aloud of good children who were fortunate
enough to ﬁnd their stockings overﬂowing
with good things 011 Christmas morning
and later be ushered into a room where a
“leally truly ” Santa was standing in 1e..di-
ness to d1st11bute the delightfully mystify 111g
palcels.

Phil had nevel seen the jolly old Saint,
as his paIents had thought him too young
to enjoy any festivitiesb 011 the previous
Christmas, so, one night, when he heard
father absently mention that Santa Claus
had arrived at one of the large depa1tment
sto1es he (Phil) asked mothe1 to take him
to see that noted personage.

“Suppose you take him with you to-
morrow afternoon,” suggested father, and,
much to the little fellow’s delight, mother
answered in the afﬁrmative.

The next afternoon, Phil, lying back

against the soft cushions, heard the door

slam and felt the ﬁne limousine start toward
the busy shopping district where the surg-
ing crowds streamed incessantly back and
forth. He smiled up at mother and con-
tentedly remarked, “this is the bestest place
in the world.”

While waiting impatiently for mother to
select her purchases, little Phil drew from
the pocket, of which he was so proud, the
bright, new silver 'dollar which father had
slipped into his hand as he lifted “his old
boy” into the machine. This coin reminded
him of a beautiful mechanical toy exhibited in
a show window and a lovely watch chain
which mother had admired. So, when moth-
er’s back was turned he slipped off unnoticed,
intending to buy the toy for himself and the

- chain as a Christmas gift for mother and re-

turn before his disappearance was noticed.

But this was more easily said than done,
for, ‘when he at last reachedthc street, after
a journey through 21 great manyIaisles, he
found that thIsIVvas the wrong entrance be—
cause, though thel ‘ e cwerc many automobiles
“his” car was not among them Yet he

iboldly started out in searchb Of the attlactiV e

toy shop, which Phil told himself“ VV as in

the basement did not reveal him, so the
police were ’phoned for.

Phil undaunt’edly walked 011 and 011, c011—
fident that the place was “just a little piece
farther on.”

A half hour later he was stopped by two
policemen, who asked his name.

“My name is Phillip, but they call me
Phil.”

“\Vhat is your last name?”

“Harrison,” brieﬂy answered Phil.

One man nodded to, the other, then:

“ \Vhere do you live P” he continued.

“Near the park, and nurse takes me there
every day, but if I don’t go Santa Clauston’t
give me anything,” was the reply in an ag—
grieved tone.

NVithout any warning he was lifted up
and carried away.

When at last the child was put into the _7

arms of his lately distracted mother, he ex-
claimed, “IVIother, you must discharge nurse;
she told Phil a ’tory; she said that there was
only one Santie in the whole world, and I
saw two at one time wif my own eyes.”
But mother was so happy that her only
reply was a kiss. . ~R’UTHCENZBEIIGER

(ABOUT THAT BAZAAR.

Everyone in the school, Of course, has
heard Of the great Christmas Bazaar, ,to be
held in the school building 011 December 18,
from 10 A. M. to 4 P. M. The receipts will
be used to buy new furniture for the oﬂice,
and tO beautify the building in other ways.
Every known kind of candy and cake will
be for sale; also ice cream, hot chocolate and
good tea. A Gypsy Fortune Teller, from
whom one can learn the dark mysteries of the
future, will be present. Everyone should see
the great museum, in which countless won-
ders will be displayed. Be sure to get some
picture post- cards of the building, and cal—
endars, place cards, tally cards, and other
things too numer‘able tO mention. There will
be a news-stand, where all the standard mag-
azines, including THE Cocr-IRAN SPECIAL,
may he had. Come to the music 1‘00111,
where there will be a continuous program,
Louisville’s best talent. Also, there will be
a minstr‘el show and comic songs. In the art
1‘00111 many famous masterpieces, as well as
beautiful articles made by the children, will
be shown. Tell your parents, brothers,
sisters, uncles, aunts—the whole family (in-
cluding the cook) to come and’do their
Christmas shopping , tell everyone you have
ever hear d of to, come; and caution them to
be 011 the scene early, to avoid the rush!

sex by the many criticisms to which she is
subjected. Until these conventionalities are
overcome (and many women are striving to
overcome them) the Suffrage movement will
be unsuccessful.

The arguments againstsuffrage for wo-
men Often contradict each other. On one
hand you hear “why should women have
the right to vote P

they have it.”

They will not use it if
On the other, “ the women
will be so infatuated with voting and poli-
ties that their household duties will be neg-

to the polls PK If not, why should women?
One argument is “women will vote as
their husbands do. The ballot will simply
be doublet,” and another, “husbands and
wives will disagree, causing quarrels in
families.”

Many women who oppose the movement
are engaged in various professions, and are
reaping the beneﬁts of the work of such
,women as Susan B. Anthony, who labored
for years to~place women on an equality
with men in self support. But women will
never reach that point without the ballot.
Men are given more privileges because of
their vote.

1 FASHION NOTES . Q
”as”‘0‘0‘9‘1i‘u‘u‘o‘oscﬂ

"‘

The fashions for the ladies Of 1909—’10
are coat dresses and three-piece suits, made
mostly of dark material suitable for street
wear, such as berry, raisin, artichoke, plum
and national blue. The short blouse coat,
in many instances hardly more ' than hip
length, is frequently worn. Draped skirts
and those with sashes are very stylish.

The waists are made mostly Of soft mes-
saline or tucked chiffon over Persian linings
Of different tones to match costumes. The
sleeves, one of the most important features
of a dressy gown, are tight at the top, puff
at elbow and tucked cuff. The leg 0’ mut-
ton is still popular. Many Of these artistic
waists are trimmed in jet, Persian garni—
tures and gold and silver appliques.

The evening dresses are made of span-
gled nets and gold and silver cloth. For
reception gowns the leading cOlors are vio-
let tones and Chamois shades. The evening
wrap is almost as important as the evening
gown. The newest design is cut like a
coat, but 1s quite as loose as a cape.

Fur tur‘bans of all kinds are the most
fashionable head-gear for this winter season,
being large and high, trimmed in aigr‘ettes,
quills and wings or large bows of various
shades of v’clv.et

The Children s hatsare mushroom shape
and ﬁat sailors with large black or red hows;
also poke bonnets trimmed in French roses
or tips are quite “comme il faut.”
