"VteLittle Waifs Drefam of Their
J. urn to Get Shoei From
Bee Fund.
Your littTe children or nephews or
nieces wouldn't thnk of -asking j'or
a pair of sr.oej for Christina.
Yet there are many waifs of poor,
fatherless homes who fairly" dream
of the new shoes they are to get
from The Bee's Free Shoe fund
when their "turn" rentes,
Nips Their Toes.
The cold wind nips their tender
toes when they scurry out-of-doors
thefe wintry days.
This is a charity where every cent
in your dollar actually buys shoes.
Not a cent goes for salaries, "over,
head" or any other purpose but
shoe. And every case is investi
gated by a volunteer committee to
see that it is a worthy case.
Honor List.
If your t-rrumstancei permit yen
t'i do something for these littlu
shot-less tots, just send or bring
what you can to The Bee office.
