Charitable societies arr proparlnp to aid the poor on Christmas day and thev are. making certain that Santa 'la'us will have the atHrcss of every j.oor family in tho city. The Salvation Army and the Associated Charities and various churches will distribute eatables and clothing. Baskets are being prepared and they will be nent out between nor and Christmas day. These will contain provisions for the beat dinner of the jear. In nearly every church preavnt will be brought for the poor instead of for exchange with other members. For this reason special entertainments are being held at which time the contributions will bo made. Westminster Presbyterian church will surprise Santa CLaus when, he comes there and will hnve a wagon load of baskets and clothing for him to carry away instead of asking him to give. . Other churches are packing chicken., potatoes, cranberries and Christmas delicacies into market baskets and will hang them on the tree for Fanta to distribute among th; city's poor. The names of every deserving family has been secured and all will be supplied through the aid of one of the organizations. All three are working in harmony and but one basket will be sent to a home.

GARDEN OP AEDAII." The biggest thing scenically ever attempted upon the stage is what Is said about "The Garden of Allah" wliich la coming to the Auditorium for an engagement of live performances, opening with a holiday matinee on Christmas afternoon. This will be the first engagement of the big spectacle-drama in South Bend. The play Is a dramatization of the novel of the same name by Robert 3 Lichens. The locale is the desert of Sahara and Its environs to the north. .Briefly told the story deals with a Trappist monk who becomes weary of the monastery and yields to his natural Inclinations. ITo wanders off Into Morocco and its environs, and at a dance house in Biskra meets and falls In love with a wanderer like himself hut one of tho female persuasion, who confess that she Is half a gypy. He constitutes himself her protector, which eventually leads to their love and marriage. Their adventures in the dessert and the final discovery by tho wife that her husband is a monk who has broken hbj vows to the entire her renunciation and hla return m the monaatery form a story of very abeorbln? interest. "The Garden of Allah" is costly and elaborate In Us pictures of the Orient, its camels, hor?e3 and other animals of the desert, its melange of eastern peoples as well as Occidentals, its vistas of the desert and its luxuriant gardens, are fascinating and far in advance of anything ever attempted heretcforo upon the stagv. Prominent In the cast in "The Garden of Allah" are Sarah Tmax, Iavxon Butt, John Blaii. Frank Kingdon. Antonio Salermo, William Jeffrey and Grace Noble. The production Is identically the same as was seen at the Century theater, New York, for a reason.
