CHRISTMAS BUYING . BEGINS IN EARNEST With onl 10 ' shopping days left before Santa Claus begins his annual Pilgrimage, Christmas buying started in earnest Wednesday. From north, east, south and west, women seeking holiday merchandise for gift purposes converged upon the stores and shops of the city. It was a busy and tiring day for clerks and shoppers. Many of the women who came from out of town brought their children "to see Santa Claus.'' And the young ones cooed and laughed until tk-ed. Then they cried and squirmed. Every woman apparently had the idea that ehe would wind up her Christmas list early in the week before any one else thought of doing so. The result was inevitable. "Better buy now while you're here," seemed to be mental bent of the shopper. The fear " of bad weather and that even worse fear of "not being able, toEi later Jhe things one wants spurred them on.

recipients of the united kindness cr the generous Richmond public. The . names are being received at the Social Service bureau each day.
