The children of the poor played with
the children of the wealthy yesterday.
Together they obtained their toys from
the Christmas tree and together they
romped, while toys of which tha less
blessed younirsters did not even know
the names were used to amuse them.
Nearly 100 of the poorest children
of Portlsnd, race and creed being no

guest with the little Oriental, tha blav,
and those of other natlonalltlea at two
enormous Christmas trees, one at tha

and the other at the playhouse home of

cars being outside the club that a fash

children were both brought to and
taken from the parties.
At the club a tree that soared up to
the ceiling awaited the coming of the
needy children, who were organized for
the occasion by Misses Prltctiard and
Davis, of the Peoples' Institute. Hun
dreds of electric light bulbs glittered
among the branches, and the children,
as they were brought In, five and ten
at a time, stood spellbound.
Then when they saw Santa Claoa,
Jovial, red-clad and with a laugh of
foghorn proportions, the younger ones
were amased.
"It's only a man," ventured ona I
) ear-old. half uncertainly.
"Taint; H'a Jesus." expressed tha
opinion of one a trifle younger.
Tata A re Ceavlaeed.
But It took a little Kusslan girl, from
Albina to break the spell. She made
tha sign of the cross. "Please, you're
the Saint Nicholas, la It?" she Inquired.
"I'm so good girl."
"It's Santa." said some, while those
of different nationalities In their own
dialects, expressed their belief and
knowledge that they were seeing the
good o.d patron sain of tfce Christmas
season.
After the distribution of the present
by Santa, who was really the great at
traction, the children were given a re
past In the supper-room. Then came
the romping and the dancing. Mem
bera of the club saw their cherished
hardwood' dancing floor cut and
marred bv childish heels, but they
seemed not to care. Old bachelors
found they still knew how to tell
stories and women prominent in Port
land society did not seem to care If
dirty shoes did leave their tmprtat on
costly gowns.
Then when It was all over, tha chil
dren, their arms f:i of their prised
toys, said goodbye to the Christmas
tree, "it ain't a dream. I know." one
little girl remarked, "but aura It will
be tomorrow."

Playkoase la Surprise.
The bungalow-playhouse of the
Woodward children proved a revela
tion. They did not seem to think a
house so small could be real, but the
Christmas tree, the presents and the
Ice cream were only too evidently real.
And aa the youngsters grouped them
selves around tha tree for a picture,
Mr. Woodward remarked with feeling:
"You might surely' call this an 'as
aoclated press.' making a play on the
name of the great international newa
agency."
The parties yesterday were tha cul
mination of a series that have been
given for the Peoples' Institute chil
dren. Thursday the kindergarten
youngsters were entertained by Misa

kitchen-garden little housekeepers,

As our company depends upon the general public for its
patronage, wfe should contribute our share toward the public
good, but owing to the fact that requests are so frequently
made, and we do not want to discriminate unjustly, we have
concluded to discontinue contributing cash prizes or mer
chandise as well as the purchase, of tickets or advertising in
programmes.
In its stead we have a plan that Avill place our little help
where it should be a policy consistent with the spirit of Port
land and, therefore, our store in the future will furnish
prescriptions absolutely free to the worthy poor upon pre
sentation of a note or an order from any licensed physician or
. surgeon in this city.
I This advertisement will be authority for any physician
to" send any worthy patient to this storie for prescriptions,
which we will agree to fill without cost. The physician must
send an order to this effect on his card or prescription blank.
.We believe the public will heartily approve of our plan.
