tailor, has been sick for months in the
hospital, ana their poor mother has TO
work day and night TO support the farn-
iiy. The two Oldest children aid her,

sewing all day long near the window
without raising their eyes from their
work. As to-day Is q holiday, they are

has no doubt gone 70 see her poor
husbands they are amusing themselves
looking at the snow and the people in
/ the street. Poor little creatures They
have no other enjoy yment, and although
It Is New Years Day, am sure they
have no gifts. Ah. my dears." added
the old lady, there are many little
children who have nothing at all, while
others are surrounded by riches and
comfort. = 4 &
