AND TRIMMINS Horace Mann Children Conduct Store Which Pays for Fine Christmas Tree and Incidentals Did the Horace Mann store pay for its school Christmas tree? "Well we should hope to smile." It not only |paid for the tree but furnished funds enough to buy the material for trim- ming it; a new costume for the Christ- mas druid in the little play; six holly wreathes; and a balance to be used in the future. In all a profit of $13.29 was made. The store was occupied by Miss Ducker's class as an arithmetic lesson and in every case the students took care of the sales, money and bookkeep- ing. A counter was built near the door and decorated with Christmas paper and bells. Upon this the seals, tissue | paper, string, cards and other Christ- mas necessities were laid out. As these [were sold the money was rung up in |a little cash register. The children were rather indigpant over the fact that upon the register was engraved "Toy Cash Register" for as they said, they were not playing they really had a store and sold "honest and truly" | things. | Certain members of the class were | selected as salesmen and as soon as |they became proficient in their work |they trained others. In this also the [children were the supervisors and in | several cases the salesmen were caught {in a mistake and were "told" about it. |In the meantime the rest of the class |was turned into a factory and many- ured the sales slips upon which 'h sale was recorded and the en- velopes into which the purchases were placed upon sale. And at the end of the day when the sales had to be checked up they went over these sales slips and carefully checked for any mistakes. "Then they audited the books to find out what profit had been made. When it was time to get the tree the whole class took their earnings and went after it, bought it and car- ried it back. They also made the dec- orations and placed them on the tree, which was then used as a part of the Christmas on Friday, December 17. University Girls Make Dolls for Poor Kiddies Northwestern university girls have made 2,500 Christmas stockings for the poor children of the northwest side of Chicago. These stockings of red tarle- ton were filled at Northwestern univer- sity settlement. The girls also have dressed 300 dolls for the little girls "over west" who will be looking long- ingly for Santa on Christmas morning. To the college girl who has done the neatest and most artistic job as a doll modiste, an award was made at the annual doll-show in Harris Hall, Ev- anston campus. A special committee of judges, headed by Miss Sarah E. Miller of Peoria, a senior in the col- lege of liberal arts, chose the best looking doll. William Littell, 322 Woodstock ave- nue, Kenilworth, is home from Hill school for the holidays. MARINELLO BEAUTY SHOP 733 ELM STREET For Appointment Phone Winnetka 822 4
