DOLLS FOR SIX THOUSAND LITTLE
ONES.

The Chicago Tribune's doll distr,b
ution Christmas was unique and
most pleasant incident of the Christ
mas celebrations in this city. By I'll e
generosity of the readers of that pa
per and other lovers of childhood the
sum of 1,13104 was contributed to
buy dolls for distribution to the little
folks, especially to those whom Santa
Claus was likely to forget in so great
city. Dolls were dressed for distrib-
ution by Mrs. Grover Cleveland, Mrs.
William Mckinley, the actress Mod
ieska and various other celebrities, as
we'll as by hundreds Of people of less
note but not less generous instincts
and feelings, and as result not less
than 5000 little girls were made hap
ply Christmas night by the possession
of beautiful dolls, and thus a touch
of Christmas sunshine and gladness
extended to homes where otherwise
it might not. The little children
of the County Hospital were not for
gotten in this joyous distribution, the
very handsomest of the contributions
being selected for these little unfor-
Inmates and sufferers. To others also
throughout the city, Battery D with
it's wonderful collection of dolls
brought the only JOY of Christmas,
and the making of hundreds of happy
homes by this wise and generous fore
thought was not the least notable and
commendable features of the Christ
mas season in this big city.
