«)l course I could not go 011 a

think that witli Christmas less than a
week away it would he a mighty,
good idea to place an order ior a.
Christinas tree, so I did. They have
snob cute little trees—just the thing
to place in the center of the table.
■Mothers always laughs at me when
I return home after a shopping tour
lint I don't care. She said early this
shopping season that gifts should lie
practical so I decided to go down to
the Morman Sheet Metal works—202
West Main street and purchase an

Real Silk Hose
liut I had a little purchasing of my
>iwn to do I've been wantnig to Jay
in a supply of silk hose for a long
time and 1 went to the United Sales
-company and asked to look at their
line. Mr. Porter was very cordial;
and showed me many different styles. I
They were so reasonable that pur-
chased a half-dozen pairs for future
nse.
I met some of my girl friends and !
as we wanted to chat a bit, we went j
to Mayfields for a steaming cup of j
their hot chocolate it surely did
taste most awfully good. I noticed
that Lucille had 011 two of the most !
beautiful roses you ever saw. She 1
said they came from Levy's but did'
not say who sent the dozen to her.
But anyway I'm going to phon Moii7 '
day and tell Mrs. Levy to send a
dozen to the house Christmas morn-
ing to Mother with Dad's card in
them—I know Mother certainly will
appreciate them and Daddy is so busy
these days that he does not have time
to think of things like this to make
mother happy—at least not so much
as he used to.
That is just about all I did but I
had lots of fun talking with other
people, who, like me, had "V-shop-
ping went" Orenbaun's studio was
surely rushed with folks having pic-
tures made. And a clever idea l*8"1>e-
ing used by some for New Year's
by giv ing their pictures with calen-
dar pads attached.
There are more peculiar presents
this year. One man is making his
son a present of Evereardy Batteries
from the Holtzschue Motor com-
pany for his roadster
Aud by the way aren't the Rotar-
ian doing the princely thing by the
kiddies in their Big Brother scheme
at the Campus Theatre?. I just hope
that they will have as merry a
Christmas as they deserve for the act,
aud I know the youngsters vote with
pie there.
Of course shopping is not really
work—but I always get a little tired,
so I decided to go to the Liberty
theatre for an hour. Mr. Billings
was popping corn and he laughed and
joked me about Bob. It does beat
all how news that you think only you
and one other person knows trav-
els—but 1 don't care and 1 enjoyed
"The Beggar of Compromise," show-
ing Monday and Tuesday, just as
though no one knew my seerct but
Bob and myself.
After the show I ran into Berry's
for some pop corn. And'say, it pop-
ped unusually well. After supper we
all popped corn and Mother told
again the story of the coming of the
Christ child and how every year there-
after the Christinas spirit, whose
name is Santa Claus. comes hack to
earth to commemorate his birthday.
And now one more tip from Patricia
—'the Norman stores still have
'oodles of presents, but with only
three more days 'till Christmas VOL'
had better hustle.
That4s all except a Merry Christ-
mas to everybody.

The Daily Transcript,
Norman, Oklahoma.
Dear Mr. Burke:—
I noticed in your Friday's issue that
you were going to run all of the let-
ters from my little folk down there
in Norman in Sunday's paper. I know
that you are crowded awfully for
space but I do want to ask you one
favor—will you please continue o
print the lteers from Normantown's
kiddies next week. I know that there
must be some of them who want to
write to me who have not had time
yet.
You know it's a big help to me to
know just what each little boy or girl
wants most. Also I think it is migh-
ty nice of you to offer prizes for the
best letters—your prizes are nice
Christmas gifts too. In haset, but
With love. SANTA CLAUS.
The Santa Claus editor has decid-
ed, after reading the above letter, to
give all of the little boys and girls
in Norman and Cleveland county who
have not already had a chance to
write letters to Santa, in care of The
Daily Transcript, another chance to
reach their old friend, Santa Claus.
Letters will be run Monday or
Tuesday and prizes announced in
Wednesday's paper.
We know there must be many boys
and girls out in the country who ex-
pect Santa Claus Christmas eve just
as much as the boys and girls here in
Norman and Santa wants to hear
from them too. They can write their
letters and have the mailman bring
them to The Daily Transcript.
So if you haven't written that let-
ter yet, just as soon as you get home
from Sunday school today, get out
your pencil and paper and write old
Santa a letter telling what you want
most.
Look! Look! Look!
