The beneiciaries were not only given a
dinner but also a souvenir lunch for the
night, and also games and other interesting
things. They behaved eXcellently. They
were arranged irrespective of class or color.
The sprinkling of little girls looked trife
shy. bnt as stowaways they were as eminently
successful as the boys. A casual glance al
the tout ensemble showed that the dinner was
the right thing in the right place. The diners
capitulated one 10y one until the last appli-
cant was too full for the utterance Of the
Christmas thanks or a word on any Other
subject
The successful outcome of the undertaking
| and its concrete result are a credit alike to
the management, and TO those who, by theil
| time and money, or material. aided in the
laudable enterprise.
