Christmas cheer, warm, bright pretty and useful
things is coming steadily in day by day, and be-
sides the many constant calls for special needs, it
is hoped that goodly number of these will
cumuIate against the actual Christmas distributions
which will begin in very short time. From
little Mary w. Bodine only seven years DID, have
come half a dozen tiny daintily dressed little
doles that will make the eyes of some other little

articles There were new, heavy stockings, mittens
and handkerchiefs, splendid lot Of games, books,
drawing states. boxes of paints. paper dolls and
fine writing desk. Sunshine like this will reach
far and wide. and will not soon be forgotten.

of new stockings and an unusually nice coat This
last was yesterday sent to a woman who asked for
just such garment some weeks ago and the society
was unable to supply her. Six books. which will be
most welcome gifts for the holiday season, have
