LIBRARY WILL GIVE HOSPITAL SERVICE HERE Plan Outgrowth of Book Demand During World War. Special library service for patients of the city hospital soon will be Inaugurated, i according to a statement issued by I Charles E. Rush, city librarian. This innovation, unique In library circles In this city, is the direct outgrowth of a demand that arose during , the world war. A few other cities in the country already have installed a service of this character, Mr. Rush says. | Eventually it Is expected to extend the : service to other hospitals of the city, from which requests have been received. Carefully selected books, keeping In mind the psychological vaine of the right kind of reading, will he used, under the supervision of a special hospital librarian, e. former member of the library staff, who will serve without pay. A specially constructed, rubber-tired hospital book wagon will be used in transferring these books from ward to ward and from bedside to bedside. The cost of thi6 first book wagon has been met by certain social sendee agencies under the direction of Miss Alida Tinkelman, director of social service work at the city hospital. There is a great need for additional wagons and we are hopeful that other Interested persons and agencies will aid in this unusually interesting and beneficial service of the library. A noteworthy gift of a special collection of Andrew Lang material, collected by the late Frank G. Darlington, has been presented to the library by Mrs. Darlington.' It consists of books written and edited by Andrew Lang together with articles and other material written about him. ELKS SEXTETTE TO AID BENEFIT First Public Appearance of Saxophone Artists.

Shopping Places Crowd as Yuletide Approaches Department Stores Piled With Gifts to Please Every Whim Under Sun.

By MABEL WHEELER. Shopping seems to be leading in Indoor sports these days! Men. women and children are crowding the shops, gift-hunting. In spite of the repeated warnings to “shop early" it seems as if the general public procrastinated “on masse” and today we find the toy departments and Christmas card counters together with various other popular sections, in clamoring chaos. In fact, shopping traffic is becoming so congested that one department store manager declares that traffic rules will have to be laid down with stop and start signals. There is no doubt that many head-on collisions would be avoided if persons stopping suddenly would merely hold out their arms. LITTLE WONDER FOLKS DON'T SHOP EARLV. However, it is not surprising that folk do not shop earlier when you glimpse the perfectly bewitching wares now on sale. Each season brings new novelties and each season there is a run on certain gifts. This year among the simpler gifts that are having a riotous run of popularity are the black sateen bandmade articles that are the delight of the young matron. Black bridge covers with gay-colored appliqued designs in the corner. French baskets overflowing the pas-tel-shaded flowers or fruits being favorites. There are puffy round cushions, too, that vie in popularity with the covers, and perhaps the perkiest of all are the dashing aprons of the shining material, made In a thousand-and-one different styles, cover-all, bibs, effect, or even th? homely butcher's apron style, all ornamented with jolly little motifs in old blues, golds or rose, appliqtted here and there. They can be bought completely finished ready to be Christmas sealed and be-ribboned, or they may be purchased stamped for working, and the clever needle woman may complete them herself. THERE ARE APRON'S AND MORE APRONS, And speaking of aprons, this seems to be an apron season. Perhaps the daintiest ones are the airy organdie ones, cunning bib effects, made in the sheerest of material in soft pastel shades, one attractive model is made in delicate salmon shade finished off with a hemstitched friillng of the organdie and a quaint little pocket cut like a French basket, embroidered lattlee-like with vari-eolored organdie flowers apparently growing out of the basket. There are unbleached muslin aprons, piped in bright colors with appiliqued designs, that are effective and practical, and there are even a few in j nfent leather, with clusters of leather fr finishing them off that are quite u.. (tie. of course, to put it literally, they are only black oilcloth, hut they surely have the effect of patent and are proof against -.rater, which isn’t .a bad idea for the “maldless” housekeeper. MORE ELABORATE SHOWINGS. In more elaborate gift lines the wrist watch is still holding its own. One may

get along quite well nowadays without overshoes, but not to own a wrist watch —well if such is the case, never admit it. for it isn't done this season. Due "dad” whose youthful daughter feels that life can no longer be endqred tvithout suen a timepiece if one may call it that, fell a victim to the charms of a dime-sized, platinum bauble, set round with diamonds, with a million dollar price, but was finally extricated from its mesmerizing power by his wife who could not see her 12-year-old daughter riding teeters and galloping hither and thither on her pony with a diamond jvatch flaunting from her wrist. Dad finally abdicated in i favor of mother and she picked out a small but unobtrusive appearing silver I novelty much to the disappointment of I the sa'esman while dad gazed wistfully ■ and longingly at the dazzling ornament snatched from his grasp. They are almost hypnotic, these cleverly fashioned watches, the oblong cases in Avhite gold, engraeed so intricately are among the favorite styles “round as a watch" Is getting passe, for the smartest ones are every other shape but round, actagonal, square oval, oblong, everything but triangular, green gold, white gold platinum are the case favorites, just plain yellow geld being “sorta” antediluvian. As to , whether they keep correct time, who \ cares, so why worry. Most people do not even stop to ask such an unimportant question. There are fitted week-end bags that are going good. too. Black patent ones fitted with Ivory toilet accessories, that will delight the college girl beyond measure. for skipping over for fraternity week-end parties, nothing could hit the spot squarcr. Big soft brilliant colored feather fans have become almost a necessary part of the evening gown, the black party-frock devotee finds ‘n the vivid blue, jade-green or the American beautyshaded feathers, a long felt want, and i with a dashing high comb for her hair I set with stones of the same hues, she | gets Just the proper quota of color. And mllndi must have a comb. big. little, middle-sized they may be, but her toilet is not completed without one. LAY DEPARTMENT MOST THRILLING. However, there is no doubt, in spite of all the grown folks beautiful “giftelects" that the real thrilling place is ; the toy department. At present writing it is almost a day's undertaking to attempt to purchase a doll or a train. But today's youngster on Christmas day is faced by a lot of competition in playing with his toys for his farher and older male relatives find the mechanism of the modern toys so fascinating that 1 the diminutive owner doesn't stand mtir-h l of a chance. The impudent-nosed Toddy i hears, dogs and monkeys that walk on their hind legs, in laugh-provoking fashion, after having been wound up, are lrrlsistibie. "To see is to buy!" And there are flocks and flocks of mechanical toys, tiny phonographs, merry-go-rounds with music 'n everything, up-to-date

tonight will empty your bowels completely by morning and you will feel splendid. “They work while you sleep." Caecnrets never stir you up or gripe like Salts, Pills, Calomel, or Oil and they cost only ten cents a box. Children love Cascarets too.— Advertisement.

trains that are exact replicas of the real things, ’n yellow street cars, too, that run with a trolley, have push buttons, together with numberless other attractions. This year, Christinas will be fine old day for “dad” and his friends. SMALL GIRLS LIKE CEDAR CHESTS AND DOLLS. A Christmas headliner for the small girl is the miniature cedar chest. It is a sac simile of the bride-elects’ hopebox, “even to the brass trimmins.” and a real lock and key. They have acquired such a flood of popularity that the shops are having to work fast to supply the demand. Dolls are as always, necessities, the small girl without a doll would be a tragedy at Christmas time. But such dolls, baby dolls, deceivingly realistic at a distance who cry and say “mamma,” claim first honors but there are ninetynine and then sonn* varieties of character dolls that are just about as near human as sawdust and bisque can lie. There are oodles of accessories for the doll too, such as clever willow furniture and overstaffed davenports for the doll house and such house with sun-porch Pullman breakfast rooms, etc., together with wardrobe trunks, doll motor cars, and loads of frippery. Santa Claus has certainly advanced by leaps and strides in bis toy manufacturing, no doubt the thought of the simplicity of his old time pack ofttimes brings a sigh of envy when lie glances over his tons of preparedness equipment of today. But in spite of Santa Claus we must still shop. It doesn't matter how old we are or how feeble, “it is to shop,” We may window shop through the lazy summer days, talk shop most any time, but this week and next we are down to cold hard facts —we must Christmas shop!

Children Who Need Cod Liver OI! Will Take Vinol Because it contains no oil, but does contain all the medicinal elements which have made Cod Liver Oil famous, together with vegetable iron and other upbuilding ingredients especially favorable for children. Many children in this city have been restored to robust health by taking Vinol, and we ask any mother who has a delicate child to try it on our guarantee that it is perfectly harmless, and if it does not help the child the druggist will return the full purchase price. For a hundred years the medicinal elements contained in the cod’s liver and oil have been regarded as the safest and best strength and body building medicinal agents known. Many pople, however—especially children —cannot take cod liver oil because of the nauseating oil. In Vinol they get all the medicinal value of cod liver oil and emulsions in a delicious tasting form and entirely free from oil—agreeable to the most delicate stomach—therefore it i3 better. If you have a delicate child, give it Vinol. Knowing that it has helped so many other children, you owe it to the child. Henry J. Huder, Druggist. Indianapolis.—Advertisement.
