The saddest tragedy of the year
is now frequently chronicled in the
papers. Nearly every day we see
where some little child has been
burned to death. Oh, the horror of
the stories of the suffering of these
innocents. It is almost more than
the stongest heart can stand. Par
ents are not always to blame, but
sometimes their carelessness is re
sponsible for the ghastly tragedies.
Presents for Mother and Father
are sometimes difficult to select, a
pair of Hawes glasses in a nice case
is acceptable and appreciated.
