the latter state declared the divorce pro-
ceedings illegal. and the second marriage
adulterous. To day the Chicago court
held that the divorce valid according to the

CHRISTUJS APPEAL

This il the childrens fortnight. A few days more
and the patter of little feet will be heard at day
light and bright eyes will be peeping through the
doorway to catch glimpse of the Christmas hearth.
1t has been prosperous year, and as this merry
world spins round American children will have the
brightest and merriest holidays that children have
ever known out of wonderland. Never have toys
been so cheap or so ingenious as now, and
never has the art of pleasing aud
entertaining children been widely practlsed
~ it Will be this season. One of the KnickerbOcker
traditions assigns to st. Nicholas Christmas
morning a lofty perch in Trinity steeple, where he
NAV sniff the fragrance of thousands of turkeys and
plum buildings rs 1t rises from thousands of happy
homes on Manhattan Island. If his ears are only
as efficient as his nose, what sweet music he will
hear this week and the next as the children enter
upon their annual heritage of Christmas Joys
But the music will como 70 his ears with an nm
dertone OF sadness. All the children in New-York
will not be happy on that day. There will be signs
and heart-aches in many cherries garnet where
there are children who have never felt the warmth
of n Christmas freside. Growing up in Ignorance
and crime in loneliness and wretchedness, without
shelter ana food, without hope, almost without
chance in this big, busy world, they scarcely know
what the word Christmas means What will the
fortnight bring to themi
Something if Mr.. G. l.. Brace can have his way.
lie knows well enough where to fad them IN attic
and basement, and how to give them o taste of
Christmas joys. Already he Is looking about him,
not to find the children. but those who stand ready
to help them. and who will enjoy their own Christ
