There's a little boy, and he lives next door
And I hear him every night;
Telling his nurse of a big toy store, r j .
And laughing with keen delight,
She answers with stories of Christmas eve
Till the little lad is still,
Dreaming of lands of make-believe,
As children forever will.
And as I listen I close my eyes,
And wander back again
To the days when I was just his size,
And dreaming was not vain.
'Tis bedtime in the long ago, .
And on my daddy's knee,
I hear the tales all children know,
And they are new to me.
Of Santa Claus and reindeer, too ,
Of workshops filled with toys,
And of the things I must not do
To earn my Christmas joys.
And as I hear my daddy speak
Out of the past again,
There comes a dream' that I would seek,
Did I not know it vain.

Here is. a time-saving way of
threading up a single-thread sewing
machine: Break ,.the thread off at
the spool, leaving the machine
threaded up; tie the thread of the
new spool to the end that was broken
off and poll toward the needle; break
the old thread off, thread the new
through the needle, ' you are
ready to sew. Good Housekeeping.
Hey PAafo
An interesting announcement was
made during the last week, by Mr.
and Mrs. Frank H. Myers of the en
gagement of their daughter, Dorothy
.Vennebaker, to Lieutenant Marlon
Brando, son of E. E. Brando of this
:ity, who is stationed at Camp Lewis,
American Lakes, Wash.
Miss Myers is the first Ak-Sar-Ben
princess of this year's court to be
come Engaged. The future plans of
the young coup!e are indefinite. Lieu
tenant Brando expects to be ordered
abroad very soon and Miss Myers
will continue her nursing course until
his return. ' - " .' .
Lieutenant Brando has had some in
teresting ixfieriences while on duty at
Camp Lewis, American Lakes, Wash.
In one of his letters he tells of a re
ception given in honor of the Ameri
can officers at Victoria, Canada. Writ
ing of the trip and their entertainment
Lieutenant Brando says:
"The whole town turned out to meet
us, and after many rousing British
cheers, we were escorted to the Em
press hotel, which may be compared
to the Blackstone in Chicago, only
the architecture and furnishings are
typically English. A hotel like that
supported by Victoria, a little town
of 50,000, seems impossible. We went
to the parliament building to meet
the duke and duchess of Devonshire,
three mayors and other British-Canadian
officials. As bur names were
called we would front and center down
the red carpet, meet, front and center
out, while the people of Victoria
looked down from the balcony. Great
stuff! This letter might be entitled
'My First Brush With "Royalty.
"The first thing we noticed when we
got off the boat was the entire lack of
young men. That little town of Vic
toria has sent 14,000 men to the front. '
Everywhere you turned vou saw what j
they call returned men, men who i
have been wounded severely and are I
physically unfit for service at . the '
front. They say there is not a family ,
there that has not lost either a father, i
a brother, etc. That trip really I
brought the war home to us. The
women tip mere are wonaeriui,
thouahJ Nearly all of them have lost
someone, but they take it very bravely,
and philosophically.
Christmas Party.
Mr. and Mrs. Lee Huff entertained
at the third annual Xmas dinner
dance at their home Saturday evening.
Patriotic decorations were used
thraughout the rooms and on the din-
CAMERAS! - Yes, we

member of the family.
Brownies for- the chil
dren; Kodaks for the,
young people and father'
and mother, and Vest
Pocket Kodaks for the
soldier and sailor boys.
FROM the kindergarten days
up, there's wholesome'fun for
the children, and lasting joy for
all the family, in the Kodak and
Brownie pictures the children
make and Christmas day, with '
its home pictures, is an excellent
time to start (
'Coirie in and see our stock of
Kodaks and Brownies. There's
I no obligation.
