One, Christmas function which
The HERALD failed TO report in It's
proper place, and which deserved
special mention, was the dinner
given to the poor by the ladies OF
the Catholic Church Repair Fund
society, at St. Joseph's College on
Christmas eve. Three hundred and
fifty persons, including men, women
and children, were served on this
occasion. The long tables were
covered with white linen, and
adorned with flowers, and the hall
was also prettily decorated with
flags and eyergreens. The dinner
was a substantial one, comprising
excellent soup, a meat and veget-
able course, and cake and coffee.
Music was furnished by one OF the
local bands, and nothing was lack
ing to insure an abundance of real
Christmas cheer for the guests of
the benevolent ladies who provided
the feast.
