We Never Carry Garments
From One Season to

It has hecii our policy for many years to never
carry one garment over the season. The winter
selling season has reached its height, 'ac
ril'iciuir prices now, in niidseason, is nn asur
ance of securing your buying interest, thus in
suritit us the. maintenance, of pre-ciuiiieuce. It
js really this policy of selling all garments in
season that prompted our first After-Christmas
Sale years ago. We adhere to the policy strict
ly through the effectiveness of prices so low as
to actually compel a complete clearance.

provide for Ihe unfortunates beyond the
expectations of those in charge of the
arrangement.
Kor days every mall brought loads of
Christmas boxes and on Christina day
hundreds of dollars worth of clothing,
tobacco, candy, fruit, nuts and other
things were received for the patients.

placed on a tree and were handed out
hy a real Sajita. Clans. The large
ainuHenienl hall where the Ire" was
placed was decorated with holl,
Christmas bells, pots of blooming flow
ers, palms and ferns. The patients re
ceived from the tree the presents son
hy their relatives and friends and the
less fortunate' reolvcd boxes from the
hospital. A bund played during the
veiling and the affair was most njoy
n hi.
Thursday Ihe patients and tiiiployes
enjoyed an elegant dinner. I'laus for
the patients Include every night dur
ing the week. Moving picture shows
and dances will be the features. The
baud and the moving pictures will be
paid for out of special donations sent
in hy friends of The Institution.
The entire main building and all halls
and wards are decorated and a Christ
inas atmosphere pervates the place
throughout. Dr. Cocke has received
many compliments for his thoughtful-ness.
