the silver star, swung from the CELL

brought applause, but tears. Miss
| Sylvia Hunter sang Silent Night" in
sweet, touching voice.
The story of the Christmas candles
was very pleasing, by 10 children
dressed in red. white. blue. green and.
yellow, with yellow caps. Perhaps the
best number was that when the dream
angels with their singing and magic
wands put six tots to sleep and babe

boys dressed all in white with red
caps, ties, belts and moccasins, wax
ened them with their story of Loving
and Sharing and Giving" which
caused them to so out and bring in
some poor little ragged sweet tots,
whose appearance caused much
laughter, to cover a sob when the
children tore down their well filled
stockings and gave to the Wigs chill

Year and Jack Frost, were the stars,
The months, appropriately costumed,
gave promise of blessings; Mother Ma
| ture and Father Time came in for APP
plause. The New York song was a
full chorus of SO voices. When the
| flag was unfurled it was greeted with
hearty hand clapping and the Pledge
America by all closed the program.
| Oatmeal bread and coffee served by
| the children was a pleasing feature,
and If every one present had been able
to execute his desires there would not
have been six orphans left in the home.
The guests fingered and talked to the
children and complmented them.
