KINNEY’S TAKES TIP FROM KING OF ERIN

Foot Ease Is Emphasized in Christmas Stock at Shoe Store. Way back when in ancient Ireland, children, there was a king named Keogh. And King Keogh had bunions, great big bunions, caused by standing on his feet too long in the marshy moorlands. And one day, when emissaries from a foreign potentate came to Kink Keogh with gifts of jewels and gold. King Keogh's bunions were hurting him so much that he threw the jewels and gold out of the nearest doorway and the foreign ambassadors with them. But late that same afternoon there came a poor farmer to King Koegh’s throne and all he had to proffer was a pair of soft leather slippers, hand-tanned and softened and guaranteed to make a bunion feel like a bouquet of roses. King Keogh tried on the slippers; the hunter, who name was O’Raghilly, became prime minister and chief bootmaker. And that, friends, is the history of Yuletide slipper-giving. This year, at Kinney’s, 24 North Pennsylvania street, which is an Irish name, you will find an assortment that will be hard to duplicate. Here the early Christmas shop-

There will be other colors, and not the least of them is black. But blue is the newest and smartest of all, and gifts-- at Christmas must be both.

Christmas Trees to Be Decorated for Birds Shivering birds which brave the northern winters are to have Christmas trees, too, according to many letters received by Elizabeth King, editor of the children’s page in Woman's Home Companion . Without previous suggestion, heads of children's clubs throughout the country have submitted plans for entertaining birds on front lawns during the holiday. The best plan received is as follows; Select an evergreen tree, or erect one, on the front lawn. Decorate It with, festoons of red cranberris, strung with needle and thread. Carve carrots into little orange baskets and fill them with suet, cut into tiny pieces. v Pop corn and string it into festoons. Cut stale bread into cubes an inch square, and hang them to the branches with bright colored yearn. Another child suggested red apples cut in half horizontally, cores dug out and the center filled with kernels of com, tied on the tree so they will not upset. Sprigs of edible red berries, wherever seasonable, are to be affixed with colored string. Ground com will be sprinkled all around the tree, says the youthful correspondent, for the chickadees and other birds that feed where the larger birds are not feasting.
