 Certainly nothing so far could have been more generous than the support we have had from every source in regard to the childrens fete." Mrs. Crockard said, and this of course is very gratifying. We really have planned very beautiful party. The ballroom of the Hotel HIillman will be thrown open for the fete on Sat urday afternoon, and one of the chief at fractions will be the lovely music. We are most anxious for it to be understood that while it is chldren's fete, the grown ups are invited to come, too. Each little quarter, the price of admission, which means so little to the average person. will mean message of happiness to some lit- tie child at the Childrens hospital. It is a very sweet sentiment, I think, for the children who attend the fete to know that it Is they who are contributing to some other child's happy Christmas" "The party will be within the means of

Mrs F. fl. Crockard Chairman of the Childrens Fete
 Invites the Riddles and "Gro,1-ups' to be Present.
By DOLLY DALRyMprp

Christmas being essentially the chil- dren's own holiday what prettier or more apropos idea could have been carried out than a children's fete as the fitting climax to the beautiful doll bazaar which is be- ing held this week for the benefit of the Children's hospital. just on the eve of this happy Yuletide?
 Christmas is the very heart of the child, and there is nothing on earth half so holy, or so full of joy. as just the little child heart.
 The heart of man changes-the heart of the woman forgets-but the heart of a child-is there anything so tender, so sweet, so filled with joy as the dear little child heart?
 Every one of us looks back upon the time when we wondered 'Who Santy Claus was"
 Every one of us remembers how we held on to the hand of our precious mother as she traced her weary steps through the crowded shops at Christmas time talk ing us to see Santy Claus, so we might tell him in our simple little childish way what we wanted him ''to bring us"
 Every one of us remembers when we wrote the letters to Dear Santy," asking for a doll that says Mama" and Papa" and our joy and expectancy until "the night before Christmas when we hung up our stockings to receive the beautiful gifts
 Now we see through d glass dimly, so to speak, as our sight is transferred to younger hearts, and will there ever be one of these little hearts which will for get the beautiful scene tomorrow after noon when the childrens s fete will be held held by children, for children-for little crippled, maimed, sick, children, whose hearts beat just as joyously, those frail little atoms of humanity which are taken care of so tenderly and nurtures so gently at the Children's hospital, as the hearts of the children who are giving the party for them?
 "The little heroine of Daddy Long Legs" herself couldn't tell a pretter story after the fete is over than the hundreds of little tots will tell when they've seen Santy Claus lead the grand march and tried their little hands at the "Wonder We'll" and have done all the nice little things which will be provided for their amusement on this occasion.
 The enthusiasm which has been engen- dered in the children's fete by Mrs. Frank H. Crockard, who is the chairman for this entertainment, must be a pleasing proof to this charming woman of her far reach- ing influence and gracious personality in this community where she is not only one of the most popular women socially. but is very much beloved by hundreds of friends, whom she has made since her residence here only few years ago.
 Mrs. Crockard has been associated with all the prominent events in society since she came here, but she laughingly declares that this is her first experience in .'poli- tics" as she humorously expresses it. 'I was greatly surprised" said Mrs. Crockard. when I was asked to take charge of the chidren's fete, but at the same time I realized that 1t was d very nice compliment there were so many others who have been associated with philanthropic and charitable work far more than l have.

almost everybody since such small ad- mission is asked" Mrs. Crockard contin- ued, 'and there will be very few ex-
 tras. Refreshments and entertainment
 will be included in the admission fee.
 There will be a Wonder We'll. which Is sort of a grab-bag effect modernized and
 this will cost cents. There will be
 fortune-teller,' a real Gypsy, and the
 small sum of 10 cents will be asked for
 the children and 9 cents for the grown
 people to have their fortunes read. There
 will be candy lady and a popcorn man. and these will dispense goodies for all for sum not exceeding 5 cents." The most attractive feature to the chil- dren will probably be old Mr. Santa Claus himself, who will lead the grand march Afterward he will have a great ledger-a book to record the wishes and wants of the little folk and here they
 may go and tell him just what they de- sire him to bring them Christmas Really, | the fete has been most attractiyely planned, and it is pretty introduction to the Christmas festivities for the children.

 Can you tell me what sort of candy is that called 1ollypops? If you can en- tighten me on this I shall appreciate it.
