Appealing to the people Of Wash
ington to aid in making the cold days

Day-happy in the homes of the poor,
the Christ Child Society announced
today that tomorrow and Sunday will
be observed as Tag Days" and
asked that the response be generous.
The Christ Child Society, which
flourishes now throughout the United
States, began in Washington twenty
five years ago. 1t was founded by
Miss Mary v. Merrick, who made its
first object the supplying of clothing,
games, toys. and numerous other
things to the poor children who. at
Christmas time. would address letters
to the Christ Child" or to Santa Claus
telling what they wished for Christ
mas. In the twenty-siX years of it,
existence the society has never failed
to supply the things craved for by the
little ones who, though poor, often
look for big things" at the Joyous
season.
The society's active membership at
present is sorely pressed by the bur
dens imposed by war conditions. The
committee on the visiting and relief
of the poor, on dental hygiene and
health, on fresh air, on instruction
and social work, and on Christmas
needs are working from early morn
ing until late at night All the work
is performed gratis: no officer nor
member receives pay.
