BoothTucker and their aids. There
seems radiant atmosphere about the
spot where Emma BoothTucker stands.
Those 1000 baskets are largely deliv-
cred to the recipients with her own
hands. Long, delicate, frail looking
hands they are, yet there are blessing
and power and magic in their touch
This tall, slight woman with the golden
brown hair looks so fragile that wind
might blow her away, yet for three
hours she stands and deals out dinners
and blessings. AS she gives the baskets
she has good word for each person,
and her voice is musical and thrilling.
To one she murmurs Merry Christ
mas" to another Happy New Year"
to another. an old and trembling wora-

are in the old woman's eyes as she
passes on with her precious Christmas
dinner. Then the radiant soul that
blessed her gives basket to the next,
the toughest, most battered looking
wreck in all that motley throng, and
tells him God loves him.
Looking at Emma Booth-Tucker, you

manner when they come near her.
