TOR MEN
Whenever you buy a Suit or Overcoat bearing the label of “Stems,”
“Society Brand,” o- “Hart Schaffner Sc Mar*,” there is no chance
of a doubt as to the quality of the clothes you are buying.
The three makes of clothes mentioned here are the ones we
carry in stock. There are no better ready-made clothes in America.
This is not an idle assertion, but a positive fact. And they cost
no more than some of the others.

The kids of Xenana will be en- i
ertained in royal fashion on Christ- !
nas eve bv the bachelors of the j
own, the plan being to arrange an
ntertainment and Christmas tree
ror the youngsters, similar to the
iff air of last year, which is still
'resh in youthful memory.
Definite action was decided on at
i meeting of the bachelors held at
:he Coliseum last night, after the
picture show. A number of the
wifeless ones were on hand to give
he movement a formal start, and
;he work was initiated by the ap
pointment of a finance committee
:o raise the funds necessary to in
jure the success of the undertak
ng. Martin Nash was installed as
•hairman of the meeting, and Alex
Fhink. Bob Eames, and Harry Davis
were named to look after treasury
peeds. The other committees will
pe named at a later meeting, after
he report of the finance committee
las been submitted.
The Bachelors already have a
;tart in the way of presents, a num
ber of dolls having been turned over
Lo them by the Ladies' Aid society,
after the recent bazaar.
The entertainment will be ar
ranged for the special enjoyment
pf the children, and the Christmas
tree also will be a kids' affair ex
rlusively, but grownups may attend
as spectators and it will be their
privilege also to put presents on
the tree for the youngsters. After
the distributions of presents, the
floor will be cleared and the hall
will be turned over to the children
for a dance, as was done last year
—a children’s dance strictly.
