X7OU heard me tell last spring OF the
l work that number of the girls who
came out last year and some OF thls
Years buds. too, are doing at the Sea-
mems home at Front and Queen streets.
These girls have been going down there
the last Sunday in every month Win
Mrs Whitaker Thompson. Miss
Pauline Bowie and several others who
are interested to serve dinners to the
men, Among them are Lucy Gray,
sarah and Margaretta Harrison. Betty
Boyd, Kathleen Ritter. Josephine
Thompson, Betty Ross, Mary Fahne :
stock and Joy Drew Baer. They have
Interested number of boys in the ,work!
and they go. too. and help. Wen. OF
course, they want to have n Christmas
dinner for the men and they want to
raise funds for that reason. They have
from lou 10 wv Hltii at 'i'o w 80
and they do enjoy it so. The boys make
I'm an orchestra among themselves and
they play and have songs and eats:
Well. the reason for all this Is to
tell you that Mrs. Thompson Miss
Bowie and all the girls are getting up
card party Mt the st. James for next
Monday evening and they are to have
dancing after the card playing. They
had an interesting affair at the Merton
Cricket Club in the spring which en-
abed them to keep up the work during
the summer and it would be too bad II
they could not give an honest to good
ness Christmas dinner this year. The
party begins at o'clock. Let's go.
TEEP your eyes and ears open these
~ days for you do observe many in
tercsting things. For instance. the other
day ! happened to see certain little
lady Of my acquaintance going along
tho street. She was looking most aw-
fully pretty and had q certain little air
about her that made me say to my
self. Now. why Is she so perky and
very, very interested in everything and
everybody? And then around the cor
ner he came and she was so surprised.
So Nancy knew right off that she'd
gone just to meet him and was hoping
and praying she would. although she
would not let him know that she was
going to give in soon, and say 'yes,
for anything. Nancy only hopes that
he guessed, too. because some Of these
young men who have been kept dangling
a bit, do suffer something fierce" un-
til these wee misses do make up Their
minds
NANCY WINNIE.
