Each Junior gets one pair of nice
warm stockings, fills n with a toy,
candy, etc., also puts the other

the Open Door Mission, the Salvation
Army, the Orphans Home and the
Convent. The Juniors living at a dis
tance can send us the stockings emp
ty and the Courier Junior will put

The next Saturday was her birthday

heard laughing and saw a lot of little
boys and girls getting out of carriages.
She wondered where they were going

having a surprise on her. They brought
some ice cream and cake with them,
and they just had a fine time. They
were getting ready to 60 home when
their fathers and mothers came and
