V8ANTA CLAUS GIRL9 AIDED
NOW BY BABY DAUGHTER
Mrs. Olive May Wilson Hammer's Workshop Looks Like That of
Kris Kringlc as Presents to Cheer Thousands of
Poor Are Prepared
"Tlie Santa Claus Girl" Is making
ready to pay her annual visit of eood
chjcr to thousands of homes throughout
the land. She la Mrs. Olive May "Wilson
Hammer, J32 West Seymour street, Ger
ihantown, and for the last five years Bho
has made Chrl'tmn- n tlmo of joy for
countless poor children.
This year sho wilt send 100,000 pres
ents to deserving homes. The time
worn, onowclad sleigh will be discarded,
however, In favor of moro modern means
of transportation.
, .Tho Joy-laden gifts of the "Santa
Claus our will arrive at their destina
tions by mall, express, automobile, and
possibly by airplane, but it will bo all
thl s.ime to the happy recipients. The
Rifts will mean that some one at least
has remembered $him, even If the "old
fellow" himself somotlmcs forgets.
The "Santa Claus Girl" began her
work a few daya before Christmas fio
4 J ears ago. Sho was approached by a
i forlorn child, aimlessly walking the
streets, wno asKed ner for a present.
She took the child to a Btoro and bought

a jus ucr iiur uiiuAjjeuieu goou
fortune Inspired Mrs. Hammer to fur
ther generosity and In tho short tlmo
lit her disposal sho sent as many gifts
as possible to poor homes In tho neigh
borhood. Sinco then tho program has developed
Into almost national proportions. Mrs.
Hammer's workshlp on the second floor
of her Germantown homo presents a
scene that would reflect credit upon an
artist's conception of tho real Santa
Claus' mythical habitat somewhere In
tho polar regions.
Toys, of every description aro piled
high in all directions and the ceaseless
activity of catalougtng, wrapping, mend
ing, retouching; in fact, all tho detail
work that tho real Santa Claus Is sup
posed to do.goes on with tho smooth
ness of an efficient machine.
An efficient staff of volunteer assist
ants are aiding Mrs. Hammer In her
quest for deserving poor to whom
Christmas means nothing beyond the
fact that it falls on , December 2E.
Months In advance the list Is made up
the names being forwarded by social
organizations and charitable Institution1)
One of Jicr most enthusiastic aids Is
Miss Olive May Hammer, her two-year-old
daughter. This tiny girl counts that
moment lost when sho Is not busy with
the Intricacies of parcel-tying and the
other little aids that her baby fingers
can render. Her husband, Illrchall Ham
mer, Is an equally active co-worker.
No requests for presents goes unre
warded. Tho "Santa Clause Girl" has
a long list of wealthy patrons and sne
has only to ask for more contributions
and her wish is gratified.
Subscriptions in money and gifts ar
rivo dally from men and women prom
inent In all walks of life. Mrs. Wood
row Wilson has sent a handkerchief to
bo auctioned off at a charity bazaar.
Mrs. Martin G. Brumbaugh has donated
a. number of dolls and Governor-elect
Sproul la a generous contributor to tho
fund.

Mrs. Olive May Wilson Hammer,

city
those of tho silent drama have also sent
gifts and contributions to tho fund.
JIMMY'S GIFT NOT PROBATED
No "Election Contribution From
Register of Wills Listed
The "little follows" who responded so
cheerfully to the Republican city com
mittee's request for "voluntary campaign
contributions" aro wondering what Is the
matter with James B. Sheehan, Register
of Wills.
Shechan's name does not appear on the
report of contributors filed with the
Court of Quarter Sessions by the com
mittee "I have other places for my money"
Is the explanation tho Register will
give for not helping to grease the ma
chinery at the last election.
T IS hardly to bo wondered If the
llttlo pcoplo pauso longest in tho toy
department beforo military toys or
toys which aro suggcstlvo of the war.
Cannons, soldiers, tents all should liavo
an unusually strong appeal this year
They attracted mo today, too, and while
walking around among them, I heard a
llttlo voice cry, "Oh, look, Muwer, dear I
Real army trucks Wheels, an' every
thing." And suro enough they are real
army trucks, wooden, with wooden
wheels. Even tho steering wheel and
lights aro of wood, and, of course, the
truck Is painted gray, but the best part
of all Is tho khaki cover which unfolds
and fits over the top of tho truck, mak
ing It look exactly like the army trucks
you have seen. Tho prlco of ono of these
complete llttlo trucks is only 1.G0.
"Your halrNs always so smooth and
glossy," I exclaimed enviously to my
friend. "Very simple," sho replied,
"When I dress It, I shake a few drops
of this preparation on my brush. It nab
a del'ghtful scent, makes my hair nice
and shiny, and Is simply Indispensable
during thoso can't-do-a-thlng-wlth.lt
stages Immediately after a shampoo."
I learned that a bottle, which should last
many weeks, may be had for twenty
flvo cents, and I know that if your hair
Is the rebellious kind which will not stay
"put" you'll bo glad to know about thlB
preparation.
Hero is a novel kind of table pad.
Ynn have won them of heavy quilting,
you are familiar with the crocheted ones,
and you no doubt know somo ono who
uses tho heavy corded pads. But these
I discovered are made of thin sheets of
cork, and on each tan colored mat Is
painted a stenciled design of flowers
and border In blue, black and white.
They aro most artistic, almost too pretty
In fact, to be covered by hot platter

Is twenty-eight cents each, and tho
larger sizes are fifty cents. Here's a

out fear of somo one else's choosing the
same thing. ,

CHAPTER XXII
RUTH stood at tha edgo of tho porch
following with her ecs Scott and
Jo Whltehend, the girl that Scott hnd
known In tho dim past 60mcwhero. When
she had suggested that Scott go for a
walk with this girl she had not dreamed
that ho would take her up and actually
go. It seemed Incredible that ho had
gone and left her this way. They hnd
come away together In search of nn
adventure and ho had gono for a walk
with another woman. Oh, It wns un
bearable. Ruth felt hot ono minute and
cold the next. Fierce tears sprang up
from her henrt and stung her eyelids
and contracted her throat, but still she
did not cry. For tho first tlmo In her
llfo sho realized tho absolute futility of
tears.
Tho sound of the footsteps crunching
on tho gravel died away In the distance
and Ruth turned and went up to her
room A hundred wild Impulses pos
sessed her onco sho was there. Sho
even thought of running away, but con
quered that Impulse because rIio was not
suro she could get a train out of there
at this tlmo of night. Sho sat down In
tho low rocker that tipped back uncom
fortably, and considered the situation,
or tried to. Sho found, however, that
It was Impossible to think of things
lucidly ; sho was too nervous and upset.
Ten minutes, passed ; fifteen, half an
hour Ruth walked to tho window and
back more than e glit times Sho had
purposely avoided snapping on tho light
so that she could spy the two of them
as they approached the hotel Three
quarters of an hour and still they did
not como Nearly an hour had passed
beforo they finally appeared, and they
were not hurrying at all, but wcro stroll
ing leisurely Tho window was open at
tho top and Ruth could hoar Scott laugh
amusedly at something the girl said.
Thero was tho samo crunch of feet on
tho gravel and then they wcro on tho
porch.
Ruth snapped on the light quickly
and sat down In tho rocker, picking up
a magazlno as bIio did so. Hut It was
still fifteen minutes beforo Scott put In
an appearance, nnd when he did It was
with tlie unconscious attitude of receiv
ing her entire approval for ever thing
that had happened.
'Gee, tho country Is great," he en
thubed, boyishly ; "wish you could have
been with us, sweetheart." And he
crossed over to tho chair and stooped to
kiss her.
No answer, but tho fingers that held
the magazine trembled a llttlo. It was
all very well for him to come to her
now, sho reasoned furiously, and to ex
pect her to be sweet about the fact that
ho had stayed away all evening nftcr
i ringing her to this Oo.l-forsaken place.
Tlie moro sho thought of It tho more
injured she felt, and the moro angry at
Scott's entlio attitude.
"Ruth, aro yoif angry?"
the woman so that tho trip could be
made pleasant for you."
Scott was genuinely bowlldered. lie
did not understand tho vagaries of
"Oh, no," sho flamed suddenly, look
ing up at him with blazing eyes, "I
feel perfectly splendid about everything
that has happened I've had such a
good tlmo up here reading. Of course,
wo came to tho country on an adven
ture, as you said. So far the only one
who seems to bo enjoying It Is ou"
"But I nsked you to go for a walk
with mo ; I begged you to, and It was
you who suggested that Jo go with me"
"I novcr dreamed that would leave
me. Naturally, I thought that you
would prefer to be with me."
"But I can't seo that any great harm
has been done."
"Of courso you can't; you think 'tis
all right for a man to bring his wife
to a country hotel and then to leave her
In a stuffy bedroom while ho gallivants
all over tlie place with a strango womn
an. And, what's more, you expect tho
wlfo to tell you how glad she Is that
you happened to meet such an nttrac-
women and was of tho opinion that a
woman meant what she said Just as a .
man would have Under the same condl- I
tlons. Therefore, when Ruth had sug
gested that ho go with Jo Whitehead
he had thought sho meant It, never'
dreaming that tho spirit behind tho re
mark had been willful sarcasm. He did
not understand either Ruth's entire ap
propriation of him. During the days be
fore marralgo ho had dreamed of mar
ried llfo ns a different arrangement en
tirely. His lovo of freedom, Inoculated
In him moro than ever during his wild
llfo In the trenches, resented this close
espionage, this constant Interference
fiom Ruth. He wanted her as a man
wants tho woman he loves, but he
wanted her as a companion, too, and
Uuth was making this Impossible be
cause of her refusal to accept any of
his own Ideas of living his life. She
wanted to mako him over after a spe
cial pattern, tho pattern that most con
ventional husbnnds aro cut after, not
so much because she herself wanted
him that way or wanted to 11 vo tho way
other married couples did, but because
sho had been brought up conventionally
herself nnd wouldn't have thought It
posslblo to bo happy any other way.
(In tomorrow' atory Ruth faces the de
rlalon of her tint problem.)

Split Allies atPcaccTablc
Germany's Last Hope
Germany's well-known cleverness has worked out a grand plan that causes her to look
forward to the future with confidence. She hopes to achieve at the Peace Conference what four
years of the sword have not been able to get for her. Secrecy being essential, the whole scheme
with typical Teuton finesse is loudly trumpeted through the German press and proclaimed
from the rostrum, so that if we are not warned at least it is not their fault. It seems as usual that
Germany is staking her all on one throw of the dice, and this time the little game is to cause
dissension among the Allies at the Peace Table and particularly between America and Britain.
In THE LITERARY DIGEST this week December 7th there is a very striking
article, consisting of translations from the German press showing how Germany hopes to gain
big advantages when America and the Entente ''start to squabble among themselves. ''
Among other articles of timely interest in this number of "The Digest" are:

nations are journeying to the Peace Conference which
is to remold Europe and decide, perhaps for centuries
to come, the destinies of our planet. The news that
comes forth to the waiting millions from the historic
halls of Versailles will be in many ways the most im
portant ever published in its far-reaching effect upon
humanity at large. This news will be reported fully
and impartially from week to week by THE
LITERARY DIGEST, with the views of noted
authorities of all shades of opinion, so that the readers
of the world's greatest news-weekly may have the best
possible opportunity of forming accurate judgments as
