That the heart of the world is as tend CT. as sympathetic and as responsive as at any time throughout the ages was inpressiveiy demonstrated Thursday. when. in response to an appeal made in this column on the previous day, there came shower of inquiries and offers to do things for family whose distress seemed to touch the chord of good ness and kindliness in many a breast
 So generous and spontaneous was the response to the appeal that happiness such as has not relgned there for many months will dispel all gloom in the home referred to and the hearts of little chill dren will be made glad with the true spirit of Christmas
 When one considers the sordidness now rampant in the world, it was de- ightful revelation on Thursday to have so many demonstrations that there still remains a limtless amount of goodness everywhere. Good people poured in mes sages of willingness to do something in aid Of helpless children who lost their mother only recently in tragic manner and have since faced the world under cruely discouraging conditions
 From as far as Norwich lthe appeal brought happy results which will com hine to make a gladsome holiday for lit tle souls to whom the life has seemed nothing more than Q tragedy. One syr pa thetic Norwich woman who called ty telephone to Enquire what she might do 10 help revealed her deep spirit of moth erhood when she incidentally mentioned that she had five children of her own. From South Killingly, from Dayville, from Brooklyn and from all parts of the borough the messages of good will came. Another Norwich message brought an
