real work of love, made lovely by smiles

and merry cheer it brought them. In two
division headquarters of the army about
200 OF Its members supplied the wants of
all corners. At either place sight we'll
worth seeing was presented by the great
tbrongs outside and the busy scenes
within.

to gather at the ''Lifeboat," corner of

thirty turkeys, 125 loaves of bread. one
ton of coal and a quantity of nuts and
candies.
In the morning the children were assem-

stood in the smaller chapel. and after
brief service were each given their re-
spective share of toys, dolls, etc, which
they received with marked appreciation.
Shortly after 1 O'Clock they were seated
in the dining-room and punished the eat

There were not few who receded from

During the afternoon the tots were

as much dignity and presumption as a

The evening passed off pleasantly with

rendered, considering all things. espe-
cially an original recitation entitled "a
Piece to St. Francis" which was rendered
in charming manner by little Mamie

Christmas was celebrated at St Luke's
Hospital by an extra holiday dinner of
turkey and other good things. All the
patients who could partake were seated
at the we'll laden table. Visitors were
many and good things were brought to
those who were unfortunate enough to be
patients, but were otherwise fortunate in
having friends to remember them.
at the German Hospital Christmas was
celebrated in the fatherland STYLE. A
large tree was handsomely filled with
goodies and the patients invited to the re-
ception hall where the tree was placed.
Those who could not walk were taken in
chairs and all listened to the exercises ar
ranged for their benefit. For two hours
on Christmas eve the patients were treated
to singing and Rotations. Yesterday an
extra dinner was spread and the patients
lot made happier at least for a short
time.
