AS Christmas and cold weather APP
proach and we find thick wraps and furs
a necessity, the thought strikes some of
us that our discarded clothes of previous
winters may mean comfort and protection
to some one else Many heavy jacket
lying despised in cupboard might make
all the difference in the world to the wo-
man who hurries to her work in the
bleak morning before we have breakfast
ed, and now that Christmas is coming an
excellent opportunity is afforded to help
the needy poor with the gift of old clothes
There will be several Christmas trees
where garments, as well as food and
other things will be given, and children's
clothes and toys are particularly desired
The Froebel branch of the Kings Daugh-
ters Will take charge this year of a Christ
mas tree for several hundred children
Discarded books, games, and any contri-
buttons of money or food may be sent dur
ing this and next week to 243 Abercorn
street To those who have not time to
seek out worthy cases of charity this is
an opportunity to give pleasure and COM
fort to those less fortunate than ourselves
