Five hundred young men, who were
spending Christmas away from home
and mothers hot mince pie, were the
guests of Arthur Let's, president of
the Young Mems Christian associa-

the association building. There We're
no speeches, toasts or formalities. Just
a general good time with plenty to
eat and more if they cared for 1t. AL
though the homesick youngsters sat
down to the turkified feast practically
strangers to each other they soon broke
down the barriers of formality and en-
tered into the spirit of yuletide. AS
the dinner proceeded, course by course
they became friends and chatted
pleasantly among themselves of their
home and family and the topics of the
day. Few of these guests were MEM

nue.. Her delicate constitution and
care of the little girl have precluded
the idea of work, and the failure OF
the husband to provide the necessaries
of life have reduced the mother and
child to a pathetic condition of want.
The story Of the Potters has in 1t
the groundwork for a novel, with its
features the downfall of a young wo-
man. her return among friends after
a long absence, the compulsory mar

condition and the indefinable, unex-

Potter failed to carry out an alleged
promise to marry, and Miss Colds
worthy concealed her whereabouts
from relatives and friends for more
than a year. When the little girl was
n year and half old a warrant for
Potters arrest was issued on a COM
