When Roscoe Fatty" Arbuckle.

me many things I did not appreci-
ate before.
Il hold no bitterness against
those who assail me. It shall be
my firm purpose from now on to
bring them to a realization that the
unfortunate circumstances that dis
placed me also brought me the rea-
lization that I have a genuine duty
to perform 10 those. who through
1t all, believed and trusted me"
Arbuckle added that. his chance
to work again" was the greatest
Christmas gift he could possibly

Pretty blsce bead necklaces placed
around the neck OF infants immed-

wards at St. Margaret's hospital
are strung with alphabet beads
spelling the family name OF the in

"a clasp impossible to open save by
cutting. Thus are banished wor-

thought that their infant might be
exchanged through mistake with
another.
In the little ward devo voted to new
born infants there are now ten tiny
tots awaiting the expiration OF the
usual ten day period when they
will be taken to the paternal man
sion by the joyful mother.
