BRIGHTENS LIVES
OF POOR CHILDREN
Christ Child Society Has
Taken Up Many Lines
of Work.

Much qualification Is expressed over
the reports Of the Christmas holiday
work Of the Christ Child Society or
Washington,
Miss Mary V. Merrick. president Of
the society, has received reports show
ing that 755 Christmas letters from
poor children were answered and each
little writer received what he or she
most desired to maze them bright and
happy. In addition 10 these letters.
eighty-five pairs Of new shoes were
given the little children.
The work Of the Christ Child Society
is most unique in its purpose and meth
DDS, its principal object being catering
TO unfortunate childhood, and TO make
happy the children Of the poor.
Growing out Of this original purpose
are many side lines OF work. Notable
among these is the establishment Of reg
ular classes in sewing. cooking, milll-
merry, and garment making for girls and
night schools and basket making for
the boys.
Settlement work and fresh air sections
have also been established besides =
number OF free Libraries, and frequent
illustrated lectures on The Life OF
Christ" Besides these an interesting
relief work has been started This con-
sists Of cutting and making Of gar
ments for poor children. Last year the
members Of the society. chiefly chaTit-
ably inclined women who give their
time 10 the work, made more than 2,oJ
garments. These were distributed ID
worthy person Of the various Catholic
parishes
Miss MerricII, the president, is always
glad to receive new applications for
membership or donations for this char
fty. Materials Of cast-O1 clothing are
also acceptable in supplying the needs
of those who cannot help themselves
The home or headquarters OF the
society IS at 1904 Twenty-siXth street
northwest. where some one is always
on hand TO give information or receive
donations.
In common with most charitable or
carnations the society is hampered IN
its possibilities of greacer usefulness Dy
lack OF funds and its managers believe
that many more contributions would Dc
made if the people only knew the good
that is accomplished by the society.
