BOARDING HOUSE
CHRISTMAS TREE

Doubteless there were many and
many jolly gatherers round the
Christmas-eve-tree-with- gifts-laden,
but one of the largest and jolliest
gathered round the one at the Camp
bell house Sunday evening, where
20 boarders played they were all
one family, had Santa Claus, and
received gifts till it was deep wading
in fancy wrappings, string ribbons
and boxes. DR.. Hudson acted the
Santa to perfection. He arrived at
the back door with the usual jingle
of sleigh bells at about II o'clock
and walked in as merry and fat,
bundly Chris Cringle as may be
seen in any Sunday school the night
before Christmas. AS for giving,
the house had been equally divided,
masculine and feminine, the boys
and girls drawing each others names
beforehand out of hat. So the
presents were Of the most varied as
sortment. Ties, silk hose and lace
fixins were frequent, and as he hand
ed them out old Santa had for each
happy recipient word of kindly
badinage, as all good Santas are sup
posed to have. With music, dane
ing, mistletoe, (and good fun the
evening was the fullest that any of
the boarders could remember.
