SANTA CLAUS GIRL HAS
COLLECTED 600 TOYS
FOR'CHRISTMAS GIFTS
-
Miss Olive Mae Wilson Hopes
to Have 20,000 Presents for
the Poor Kiddies This
Year
HAS TWENTY HELPERS
Six hundred toys, Intended for children
who have none of their own, already
have been collected and placed In the
great billiard room at the homo of Miss
OIIvo Mao Wilson, the Santa Claus Girl
of Philadelphia, on Ilansberry avenue and
Morris street, Germantown. Before
Christmas there will bo 20,000 presents In
the billiard room if the hopes of the Santa
Claus girl are realized.
Last year 7000 children In Philadelphia
and throughout tho United States were
made happy by gifts collected by Miss
Wilson. Tho year before, the flret time
she tried free distribution of gifts, BOW
packages were sent. With the added
publicity-given her work and because of
her success last year, it Is believed that
the high-water mark In the number of
gifts donated will bo reached this Christ
mas. Not only tho number of gifts Is growing,
but the size of tho organization Miss Wil
son has built up. This year she and the
20 young women who aid her will have a
room for themselves on tho eighth floor
of tho Curtis Building. Every other Fri
day afternoon they meet in this room
and talk over the best methods for break,
lng all records In tho number of presents
they will give away this year. Besides
the 20 girls In tho city, Miss Wilson is
aided by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. S.
Harry Wilson, and her fiance, Burchall
Hammer, of Mount Airy.
This year wilt be tho first that Miss
Wilson has spent in Philadtlphla since
taking up her work for Santa Claus.
Heretofore her campaign has been con
ducted from her former home In Jenkln
town. Proximity to tho city will aid
the work this year, her friends believe.
Scores of letters from children anxious
to get gifts already have been received by
Miss Wilson. Somo of these, addressed
to "Santa Claus, North Polo street."
have reached her, after letter carriers
tried vainly to deliver them on North
Mole street, Philadelphia.
The work throughout tho United States,
which the Santa Claus girl has been car
rying on quietly, will be extended this
year. There are two young women In
every state working along the same lines,
Miss Wilson said today. Long before the
Inter-state organization was formed, Miss
Wilson was sending presents to children
In many towns throughout tho country.
Among the letters she treasures are 14
missives from the 18 little Droplnskys, of
Chicago, 111., who wrote last year for gltte.
No books or heavy Iron toys are to be
sent through the malls, the Banta Claus
girl has decided.
Tho most popular gifts of all are dolls,
Miss Wilson says. She ought to know.
There will be an exhibition of dolls No

A VARIED STUDY IN
REALM OF PSYCHOLOGY
Style of Orders From Second
and Market to Broad and
Chestnut Streets Covers a
Wide Range
GLANCE AT RESTAURANTS
Midday Hour Offers Fine Field
for Observant
Person
The range of orders In the lunch rooms
throughout the various parts of the cen
tral city district form an Interesting study
for psychologists. From the "rolls and
coffee" cry of 2d and Market streets to the
chocolate eclair and cup of chocolate"
murmur at Broad and Chestnut streets,
there aro Intervening steps that In them
sehei show the underlying differences In
the habitues of the popular-priced res
taurants. The room at 2d and Market streets,
on the fringe of tho garment workers'
district, H practically empty at noon.
Then corner a flood of men and women
who hurriedly gnaw their rolls and gulp
their coffee nervously as they talk tn
offhand manner Just how they are going
to raise the extra W00 they need to set
up In business for themselves. Not all of
them, of course But for even a few
of this class of workers, who disgust tho
waiters with Itching palms ever empty,
to talk of setting up for themselves seems
surprising. To the man who was born
and bred In this country It Is paradoxical
to talk about thousands of dollars and
to confine oneself to such a meagre re
past In the middle of the day.
And the cigarettes thev Rmoke. Just a
whiff and one with an Imagination can
picture himself in some Chtneso Joss
house, where the lncnso Is of tho bones
of Confucius, long decayed and laid to
rest.
8TH AND CHESTNUT
A gmdual transition Is noticed as the
scene Is shirted to 8th and Chestnut
streets, where tho customers are drawn
from tho business district. The Increase
In the bill for luncheon Increases from
the 10 cents to a quarter or 30, goulash,
lamb stew and other delicacies adding
little to the diner's nutritive absorption
and taking much from his pocketbook.
Business deals of minor importance are
tho topic of discussion. "Has Jones got
the order from the carpet peopleT" and
similar questions with tho resultant an
swers occupy tho half-hour, for that is
tho average time for luncheon here.
As the observer walks up Chestnut
street and Is engulfed In the passing
stream of Romeos, clothed In tho latest
Chestnut street fashion, which they fond
ly believe strikes the ultra-fashionable
keynote In men's-dress, and which Is de
cidedly not. ho Is fully prepared for tho
trivial. Inane discussion that spouts and
streams like a mld-Vlctorlan novel writ
ten by a coal-heaver over the polished
marble surfaco of the table.
"Say, whadyu think Mildred told me
last n'.ght?" and "Gee, I met tho swellcst
chicken last night" are some of the stock
sayings that go hand In hand with the
lunching Borneo, who takes up the time
and patience of the waitresses, tries to
Jolly them (and Is rewarded with vivid
facial expressions that tell graphically
that the waitress would like to take the
little boy outside and spank him), all or
which ho . does for 10 cents' worth of
chocolate eclair and a cup of chocolate.
Even this looks to be sufficient to make
one of the buttons on his tightly cut
waistcoat pop oft. Tou sit thaje, mouth
open, waiting expectantly and hoping
that something of the sort will happen.
But it never does. The Borneo Judges
his capacity with a finesse which is some
thing he finds Impossible In other lines.
"QUANTITY AND QUALITY."
Weary of the Bomeos, who, by the
vay, eat the sandwiches that mother
makes before they venture forth on their
eventful lunch hour, you sink Into the
haunt of the bourgeotse near 11th and
Market streets.
Men who are skilled in their lines of
trade and those who take a hearty In
terest In sport and could tell you Cap
Luderus' batting average ever since "he
left the breweries of Milwaukee to break
up the game with a circuit smash over
the wall, eat their food mechanically
and discuss the chances of Pat Moron's
tribe to have victory perched on their
flagpole after the world's series. Their
slogan, outside of rooting for the Phils,
Is "quantity and quality" In regard to
their lunch, and the waiter grins as
they leave. A Jitney or a dime is al
ways waiting for him, hidden by the edge
of the coffee cup.

Whether or not this special privilege will

THREE SMART TAILLEURS
FOR
MILITARY
IT IS unnecessary to draw attention to
the Immense Influence of wartimes on
fashions. Last winter saw the Introduc
tion of the military In women's costumes,
and footgear stiles changed to a point
where they verged on the ridiculous. The
vogue for Russian styles Is still upon
us, and the most successful models, both
In gowns and tallleurs, shown in the
Paris openings were of Russian Inspira
tion. Fur is the predominating influence on
velvet garments this fall. Collars but

fitted basque blouse, which affords an ex
cellent opportunity for demonstrating the
tendency toward the curved waistline.

shown In today's Illustration. It Is a

'Billy" Objects to Being Photo
graphed, but Is Conquered

Perseverance will be tho policy of Mr.
and Mrs. Robert Hunter and their doff
"Snltz," who started on a wnlklng trip
to California today, providing "Billy,"
their somewhat mutinous goat, which L
went along to haul the commissary de
partment, doesn't put tho Journey out of
business.
"Billy" doesn't like fuss and feathers.
Ho understood that they were to "slide"
out of town quietly without any reporters
or photographers nosing around tmako
the tourists nervous.
At the last minute he learned differently
and showed his disapproval of tho whole
business by attempting to eat the pants
of tho Manayunk reporter who tried to
interview him and chasing a sketch art
ist who Intended to put disgraceful pic
tures up in the corner of this page.
That's why the pictures aro not there.
But the goat was finally "taken" by tho
indefatigable photographer when two men
held his horns and two others held his
feet. Tho quartet got under way early
today and hiked off from the Hunter
home, at 20th and Norrls streets, with an
escort of kids who "bagged" school to
give the travelers a send off. Billy pulled
the wagon, after a kind-hearted kid haj
given him a bunch of fresh paper batf
sandwiches, and hiked oft in a northwest
erly direction.
Tho party trudged over the West Mana.
yunk bridge, where Watchman Dick
Greenwood watched tho calvacado from
behind tho barred doors of his tower, and
rested for dinner in Nelson's barn, in
West Manayunk. The dog rested tn tho
express wagon and guarded tho lunch.
Incidentally, ho got two or three beatings
for accidentally allowing somo of It to
slip in his mouth.
This will bo a. serious matter, and to
prevent a recurrence of such things Hun
ter bought a lock which ho will keep on
tho box; of oata while tho company is In

Tho travelers expect to arrive at Ban
Francisco within six months. The Ex
position will be over by that time, but
the goat doesn't know this. On nearing
West Chester this afternoon things
seemed to bo moro harmonious. But
Hunter has a stick with a hook In the
end of It
It Is Very evident that the goat is
aware of this and both he and the dog
Snltz are taking matters quietly for the
time being.

THE DAILY STORY
That Darned Stocking
Sue Oarrlty put down tho last unpaid
bill and her tips met In a firm, determined
line For 10 years now, Bhe had been
wrestling alone with bllla.
The girl's father had been a painter.
Aiwa) a the Income had been uncertain,
Inadequate Tho day he died, it ceased
entirely. Mrs Garrlty was one of those
helpless women. There were two girls
younger than Sue, who knew not how to
help out In a crisis.
Sue becamo a stenographer For 10
years sho had piloted tho little family
through life's undercurrents. For 10
years she hid known nothing but work
and schemo and work to keep the ever
Increasing bills paid. There had been a
time when the outgo waa squared by her
Income, but for two years now she had
been steadily going behind The unpaid
bills, however, were not of her making.
Almost nothing did she spend on herself
She made her own simple shirtwaists and
skirts. Sho fashioned her own hats. Sho
kept her clothes In repair. Sho darned
and redarned her stockings. Every little
pleasure dear o a girl's heart she had
foregone. Her slaters knew no such
deprivation, however, nor did the mother.
And Sue was tired, deadly tired. Tho
accumulation of unpaid bills had made
tho girl almost desperate.
"I'm going to take a vacation," tho
long-starved nature of Sue Oarrlty de
clared. "I'm gplng to forget all these
bills. I'm going to forget others and
think of myself. I'm going to havo a
two weeks' holiday."
"I don't care," shot back frivolity-bent
Sue. "I'm going away somewhere for
two weeks where I can be like other
girls."
Thero was consternation in the little
family when Suo declared her Intention.
It had not occurred to them that their
little bread-winning machine could havo
any feelings or desires. They remon
strated, of course. Then they stormed.
Then they pleaded. But for once tho girt
held out against her parasitical family.
With a popular magazine In hand and
an Indian blanket thrown over one arm.
Suo Oarrity followed tho lovers' path that
wound through the fragrant wood back
of tho hotel. Sho selected a tree not far
from a purling brook as a prop for her
afternoon's diversion.
With a rippling laugh, such as sho had
not Indulged in for years, sho removed
the very good-looking but well-worn
shoes. Then again she looked up and
about for signs of stray Invaders. Again
tho look was reassuring. Oft came one
cotton stocking with many darns therein.
and then the other. Carefully she placed
them on top of the shoes. Up went her
skirt, and gingerly she stepped off to
enjoy that acme of sport in the child's
calendar wading.
It was while tho girl Waa exploring up
stream that Tyrell Kemp, of Now York.'
stumbled through the underbrush and
came out by the tree where Sue Qar
rlty's shoes and stockings lay unabashed.
Sue's belongings would never have been
molested had one stocking foot been per
fectly in place. Ut was that foot that held
tho man's eyes. It held them because it
was so full of darns as to seem to have
nothing left. He couldn't refrain. He
must examine closer Into this unsual
and unique exhibition.
For Tyrell Kemp was a very blaso and
sophisticated person. His opinion of
womankind was not quite normal. Per
haps It was because ho was something of
a snob, and waB particular not to notice
women not t his "class." A girl who
would wear a darned stocking, even one
so thoroughly and artistically done as
was this one, waa beyond his comprehen
sion. The owner of theso affairs must b
somewhere near. Tho man looked about
but no person waa visible. Ho listened.
There waa no sound that could be con
strued as human. He acted quickly. One
stocking was separated from its mate
and carefully concealed in one of his
many pockets. Chuckling, the man made
his way to tho path beyond and to the
hotel.
She put on ono stocking, and then
thought better of it. Better two bare
Bpots showing than one. That way, na
ture's own might bo mistaken for flesh
colored hose now so popular.
It had not occurred to Sue to ponder
over the destination of the missing stock
ing. Sho merely accepted tho fact that
it was gone, and planned from that point.
Therefore, as sho mounted tho veranda
steps, sho waa not at all concerned by
tho keen scrutiny of that glimpse of flesh
color between hem of skirt and top of
shoe.
When ho saw Suo Oarrlty a Suo Oar
rlty in soft shirt rolling away from a
perfect neck and with beautlfuly molded
arms bared to tho elbow and a week's
mountain air and peaceful atmosphere
painted into her cheeks and eyes ho saw
a girl who interested him tremendously.
Leaving the dining room that evening.
Sue burled herself In a big chair on the
veranda overlooking tho placid waters of
tho lake. Tyrell Kemp, sitting by her aide,
offered her tho evening papers from New
York. 8ho looked at him for the first
time. A little startled smile escaped her
and a stammered "Thank you, Mr.
Kemp."
Ho waa mystified. Sho had called him
bv name. Ho knew this wonderful girl.
'For a few minutes they conversed on
conventional topics, the girl edging away
from personalities. Finally ho sa,ld:
"I'm sorry. Miss Oarrlty, your face is per
fectly familiar to me, but I can't place
you quite. Won't you help me?" he
added earnestly,
Suo's warm smile reached over and
laid hold of tho man's heart. "I've been
sitting at your elbow for seven years,"
she answered simply. "I'm your stenog
rapher." A couple of days later, with his arm
about his stenographer and his lips very
close to hers, a New York business man
on vacation bent whispered softly: "And
to think, dearest girl, if It hsdn't been
for that little darned stocking I might
never havo seen you."
Since then Sue Oarrlty has never taken
dictation nor worried about unpaid bills.
Though it Is said that sho does, some
times, darn her husband's socks Just as
a matter of sentiment.

ROOTER, IS MASCOT
OF THE PHILLIES
Pat Moran's Lucky-Piece Went
After the Job Last Summer,
and Achieved His Fond
est Hope
SEES WORLD PENNANT
By MTilSS
Somo little boys grow up with tho Wta
of ultimately becoming President; others,
objecting to the ago limitation put on
this desirable Job, decide not to wait and
dream dreams of one far more precious
that Is to say, of becoming the mascot
of a big league baseball team.
llaoul Naughton, tho 17-year-old lucky
piece of Pat Moran's Phillies, is one of
tho few younrstern who ever climb to
the ranks of the privileged. He la one
of those who aro permitted to rub elbows
with the Idols of the hour; to sit tn at
the private councils and listen to tho
acred talk whleh constitutes tho vtry
"Insldest" of Inside dope. He can even,
slap Moran, or Alexander, or Luderus, a
tho back and bo sure of a friendly recog
nition. Moreover, when tha world sarlesj la In
progress and when "multls" and jraMle
officials and even tho omnipotent police
men are biting their fingernails down
to tho quick because of their inability to
obtain the priceless bits of pasteboard
necessary to admittance, llaoul will be
right on the ground in uniform and alert
to help in whatever way It is riven a
mascot to help when the big "shindig"
is on.
For Instance, when the heroes of ths
diamond discard bat after bat and ball
after ball in their feverish attempt to
get ono that suits their temperament (yts,
it Is necessary for the modem ball player
to have temperament. If you don't be-'
lleve it, ask Alexander tho Great) It Is
Ilaoul'a high duty to run out on tha field,
right to the hallowed precincts of thet
home plate and snatch away the unused
bats and balls. Such is ths power and
privilege of the mascot.
Raoul Is a hunchback. Maybe this U
tho reason that the Phillies chose him.
but a likelier reason is that ho was on
the Job. Last summer Kddis Miller, the
I'hllly mascot, died. Naughton didn't
know this, but ho was a good fan and he
noticed that Eddie's familiar figure was
missing from the Held.
"And so," said Baoul, telling mo all
about it in the intervals of running out
and picking up bats yesterday afternooit
"I Just came around to the park: one,
August morning last year to find out
what was doing. I met Becker gee, our
outfielder is a mighty fine chap and I
asked him about It.
" "Say. I says to him. 'what about this
here mascot business? t notice yox
haven't got any How can you -ever ex
pect to win a world series when yotx
haven't got a mascotr
"He said ho bo deuced It he knew and
that he'd speak to Mr. Moran about me.
The "great Job" carries with It no stipu
lated monetary compensation, but the
Phillies are so fond of their talisman that
they "chip" in at tho end of every month
and present him with a substantial purse.
"Ot course." said Raoul, commenting on
this phase, "It I had the money and they
would take It, I'd be willing to pay to be
the mascot of a team like the Phillies
"Look at Alexander," he said, pointing
to "Tho Great." who waa warming up
with a little practice on the Bide lines.
"He's in great shape. I'll admit Wood Is
good, but ho can't touch Alec. Anywav,
our n hole team Is better than Boston's."
"We've got to win." tho mascot de
clared, "and we're going to. Maybe the
Bed Sox feel the same way. but they've
got tho wrong dope."
