"I First Tourist to France Petrarch Is often honored as the writer of the first sonnet, but France also honors him as her first tourist. He came on a pleasure trip to Provence from Italy on April 26, 1336, over 600 years ago. Vandcrbilt University The original name of Vanderbilt university was Central Methodist university. The name was changed in 1875 when Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt endowed the institution with $1,000,000. n. ! t ' ,:i ,. ,. ..... i' ,.' V 5 i-S ike -Vol WISH we could do something exciting something different at Christmas." Peggy looked out at the winter landscape as she spoke. "For instance?" Vivian Clark glanced up from the magazine. "Something like making someone terribly, tremendously happy." Peggy Peg-gy came closer to her sister as she answered, and Vivian saw that she was very much in earnest "I've been thinking," Peggy went on, "how wonderful it would be to bring something thrilling something some-thing unforgettable into someone's life. I don't mean like helping with the baskets and the entertainments at the church; we've always done that; but a sort of special something, some-thing, for one particular person." For a minute youthful voices sur rendered to silence. The gay little clock on the dresser made audible sound. Suddenly Peggy Jumped to her feet. "I've thought of something!" some-thing!" she cried breathlessly, "something really different! You know Sara Werby she's been an invalid in-valid for 10 years--shut in from the world except for a few friends who run in every now and then." "But wi.at can we do for her? We do visit her occasionally, and have always taken her a little Christmas gift. You know she's much too proud to accept charity." "Who's talking of charity? What I have in mind is something that will just thrill her. I'm going to write to Mona Muir you know, she runs that department on the Star and I'm going to tell her how wonderful Sara has been, and ask a card shev-er shev-er for her." Vivian whistled through her teeth. "Well, that is a grand idea, Peggy. I know she'll be thrilled." "She's bound to be! Think of the postman stopping with loads and loads of mail every day." Peggy's blue eyes were dancing. ' "But suppose people don't write? You know how busy everyone is at Christmas." Vivian's face reflected the doubt in her words. "But they will write," Peggy's voice was emphatic. "I'm going to hold the thought that Sara Werby will be just swamped with mail." TOGETHER they penned the letter let-ter to Mona Muir on the big city paper. Later, between snatches of shopping, they discussed the possible possi-ble number of cards and letters that would be delivered at the little lit-tle cottage on Bank street. They both seemed to be more concerned with what Sara Werby was going to AS SOON as Darrel Thorpe got a chance to use the phone, he dialed his home. He must tell Edna, how aorry, how terribly sorry he was for what had happened this morning. AH the way down on the car he had reproached himself for the hasty words he had said. He couldn't understand how he had spoken spo-ken to Edna like that, and on Christmas Christ-mas eve. He drummed impatiently on the desk as he waited. Edna was always al-ways punctual about answering the phone and doorbell It was a way she had, going right through with things. Which really was the cause of his flash of temper this morning. In her quick, decisive way, she had swept aside his idea of having old Mrs, Darby for Christmas dinner. The little lady, now down on her luck, had befriended Darrel when he had come to the city. "I'm not going to have herl" Edna had declared emphatically. "We're "dj 71-11 wjP1- 'lWJUJJlWtWJ'WW1111 m mi ii vLfc.i iiiiii ,m, v. t F YOU'RE planning to telephone your Christmas greetings to far away friends or relatives, won't you consider doing it this week - end, instead of waiting until Christmas Eve or Christinas Day? "You'll get the same low rates that apply on Christmas, if you call between 7 P.M. Saturday ami 4:30 A.M. Monday. And you'll get faster service on your calls because telephone traffic will be lighter. ? "If you can do your Long Distance Christmas calling Saturday night or some time Sunday, you'll benefit by the low rates, and we can do -a little better job for everybody." "I've thought of something!" she cried breathlessly. receive than about what they themselves them-selves were going to get. "It's funny how doing something for others gets a hold of you," Vivian Viv-ian said one day; "I wasn't nearly as enthusiastic as you at first, Peggy; Peg-gy; now I believe I'm even more eager." But their real happiness came on Christmas eve when they stood by Sara Werby's bed and saw the radiance radi-ance upon her face. Stacks of let ters, cards, and packages were piled everywhere, with postmarks from almost every state in the Union. "It's the most thrilling thing that ever happened in my life." Sara told them. "I never knew there were so many wonderful people in the world. It will take me weeks and weeks to answer them all, but it's going to be loads of fun." Her brown eyes sparkled like a girl's. "I imagine some of them will de velop into lasting friends," Peggy ventured. "Vivian and I are so happy about it all in fact, I think we're just about as excited as you are." "You're pretty happy then," Sara Werby whispered softly, "for I don't believe there is anyone anywhere who is going to have a more thrilling thrill-ing Christmas than mine." The Mountain States Telephone Cr Telegraph Co. Outdoor Christmas Trees Outdoor Christmas trees are not new. When in Alsace the folk there will tell you of St. Florentine, who centuries ago went out into the woods at Christmas tinae and placed lights, probably candles, on the trees." The big man did not seem to hear him. . His eyes were glued on a closely-typed statement. going to skip Christmas as much as possible go out and eat somewhere and miss all the rush and bother." . "I think thaf s a darn selfish way of doing," Darrel shot back. "Christmas "Christ-mas is a home day, with a turkey, and a tree, and gifts, and above all, someone to share them with us." Then, without waiting to see the effect of his t words, Darrel rushed from the house, banging the door. Now, he dialed the number three times, but there was ho answer. Panic seized him. Had Edna believed be-lieved that he meant what he had said? He had heard of young wives who had packed" up and' left for much less reason. What a brute he had been to flare up as he did! TpHE morning was unbearaby long. Inwardly fuming, he hung up the receiver, to answer an imperative im-perative buzzer from the inner office. of-fice. It was about the tenth this morning. If it hadn't been for Wheatley, keeping him running around in circles, he might have been able to reach Edna long ago. Arid if the old man hadn't been in the same ugly mood yesterday, Darrel Dar-rel knew that he himself wouldn't have been on edee this mornins. J that he wouldn't have spoken to Ed na as he had done. He blamed Wheatley as much as himself. "You sent for me," he said stiffly, as he waited beside the desk. The big man did not seem to hear him. His eyes were glued on a closely typed statement Darrel spoke again. Then Daniel Wheatley looked up, and rubbed his hand across his forehead as if trying to remember something. "Oh, yes, yes," he Began; "Mrs. Thorpe called before you got to the office this morning. I forgot to tell you. She left word that she was going marketing with a Mrs. Mrs. Darby, or some such name. Also, she wanted me to be sure to tell you to bring home a Christmas tree and all the trimmings." There was a merry twinkle in Wheatley's usually usual-ly hard eyes. "Looks as if you were going to celebrate Christmas at your house," he finished, with a laugh. "We certainly are," Darrel grinned back; "we're going to have a real old-fashioned celebration of the day." "Think your wife would object if you took a cranky old man to Christmas Christ-mas dinner?" Darrel wondered if he were hearing hear-ing things, then his quick wit jumped to the surface. "If you really mean that, Mr. Wheatley, I can assure you of a hearty welcome. My wife thoroughly thor-oughly believes in having people for Christmas dinner. At least, I am sure she does now." The last sentence sen-tence Darrel whispered to himself. x St1 ' .rill 1 l. huauj bin xx.a .. .m If ft BOXED GIFT TIES .. .25 LEATHER BELTS 25 MECHANICAL TOTS- .25 RODEO BELTS r - A9 SLACK SOCKS 3 pr. .49 Clip-end SUSPENDERS .49 WARM FELT HYLOS .49 DRESS GLOVES .79 DRESS SHIRTS 79 ERECTOR SETS .89 TRAIN AND TRACK SET -98 Cotton PAJAMAS .98 SPORT SHIRTS J8 BLANKET ROBES .... 1.98 Shearling SUPPERS 1.98 CHEST & 17 TOOLS L98 Plaid Wool JACKET 2.79 SniRT & SLACK SET 2.98 COAT SWEATER 2.98 WOOL MACKINAW.... 3.98 Electri TRAIN SET 4.98 CAPE SKIN JACKET 5.90 White Cotton HANKIES, each .05 Bordered HANKIES, ea, .10 COTTON nANKTES, 2 Boxed -25 Fancy DRESS HOSE - .25 Majestic GARTERS. 25 BOXED GIFT TIES ..
