We have given a lot of thought to this Christmas shoif and we kre sure you will say it was truly great 1 Tha room was always well filled the week before Christmas. It Is a tra dition In show business that the weeks preceding Christmas and Easter are the worst in the theater. Bom of extremely poor parents, Parker had never forgotten the mis eries of poverty. Each year It bad been bis custom to arrange a vari ety show, using the talent of the Leopards club. The money realized went toward the purchase of food baskets which were distributed e'V- ery Christmas day from the lobby of the clubhouse. When there was snow, instead of the carriage be would use a sleigh and, like Santa, set out on his an nual round. It took a great deal of money, but as a result. Bob was beloved by everyone. Bob grew older, and his stage en gagements became fewer. One day, at a club meeting Bob stood up and addressed the mem bers: “Gentlemeii,, I’m getting^ old. Ifi time for the to put away my grease paint and costumes, and ra- tira. Before doing so I want to ex tract a promise from the general membership. I ask that you gear Uemen continue to run the anoutai Christmas basket bmefit for tbk poor. I cannot assume the task an^ longer. Will you do this lor me?” Actors are a sentimental and g«t- erous lot They promised Bob that the tradition would be faithfuUj' Forester Beverage Co. North Wilkesboro Candy Co. N. S.

' • ' by voting him a life member, to, retiring from the scene, bis vlS- its to the club became infrequent The baskets were forgotten. A year ago. Bob came back !• the club a little before Christmas He looked much older, his shoulders bent and 'ils ahock of white halt noticeably thinned. "Gentlemen,” he said on rising; "this is probably tha last tima t shall address this group. I am ah old man now. There is ene favor 1 wish to ask of you. As many «l you may recall, the distributlod of Christmas baskets was my hol^ by and sole interest outside thta theater.” His voice breaking, he continued: “I wish to request you to give ondi more your time and talenta for S benefit, the proceeds to go toward the basket fund.” Moved by the appeal of their oUl master, the Leopards gathered aM their resources and achieved an un usually successful response. Elvery prominent actor and actreas within a day’s traveling distance ap peared. The theater waa Jammrf to capacity. A large sum of money was realized. To Bob’s supreme delight it was a white Christmas. Since ha was too old and feeble to sit again oa the driver’s seat and guide two prancing horses, the club arranged for the needy to come for their bas kets. All day Bob attended to the distribution. He took the subway home. His smile remained despite bis weari ness. An hour later be was seated at e small table in a plainly furnished room. A tiny white-haired lady fit opposite him. “Robert, will you carve, please?” she requested with marked deference. “With pleasure, Mrs. Parker. White meat?” “Yes, If you please, Robert” ‘This is a wonderful occasion,” he said. “Were you embarrassed, dear? I hated to do it Hary. When you came to the head of the linS and I handed you the basket I wai afraid that tome of the boys would recognize you ss my wife.” He seem^ va trifla perplexed. “Strange t Uibuld have feu uneoad- fortable about it” ha mused.
