ROCK NOOK GIFTS
DURING HOLIDAY SEASON
Children Were Kindly Remembered by
Many Friends-Those Who Were In
terested,

The children at the Rock Nook home
nave been very kindly remembered by
many friends during the holiday
months of November and Christmas
and as good health has prevailed in
the family all have been able to enjoy
IN various ways the festivities pro-
vfded, writes Mrs. Louisa c. Lane, sec
rotary of the home committee of the
United Workers.
The treasurer reports the receipts of
$l16.4S since October; of which SIS
came through two of the district Wis
itors; S32 was especially designated as
for Christmas: $20.95 came from the
Sunday school of the Second Congre-
gational church, and 1913 from the
kindergarten of the Central Baptist
Bible school
Christmas was a prolonged festi-
val. beginning with the preparation of
gifts and the decoration of the house
and of the tree by the children them
selves, and lasting till the ice gave
opportunity to use the skates and sledS
provided for the older children.
The table has been so bountifully
supplied with good things that the
discretion of Mrs Murray was taxed
to arrange for several feasts at such
intervals that no one might suffer from
surfeit.
The large turkey from the Bulletin
company at Thanksgiving was accom-
panied by a generous gift of oysters
from Powers Brothers with vegetables
oranges. apples and mince pie from
other friends. Again at Christmas a
turkey dinner was heartily enjoyed
and also an ice cream supper.
Candy and toys, Christmas books,
fancy papers for decoration, puzzles,
cryon. paper dolls. bits of ribbon and
velvet, a Jack Horner pie, clothing,
cakes and bread have all been most
welcome.
