Mrs. William Randolph Hearst
Has Christmas Party for
Little CrippIes.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Gladden'
ed by memories of a Christmas day
spent in glimpsing sights of fairy,
land, hundreds Of little cripples are
back today on their hospital cots,
cheered by the thought of having
been the guests of Mrs. william
Randolph Hearst at a party at the
Strand Theater.
This year, as in the past, Mrs
Hearst, with the management OF
the theater, acted as hostess to the
eager little pathetic guests. There
were Christmas films to brighten
the spirits of the children, and at
the end, busses and ambulances
took the joyous hosts back to their
hospital homes. Each child carried
away a Christmas gift-a box with
a doll and toys and candy, little
vanity boxes for girls and toy SOL
diers for boys and other appropriate
presents-just to show them that
Santa Claus had not forgotten them
even in the charity wards Of their
hospitals.

Father Lyons Finds Mischief
Maker at Work In His
Dramatic Society.

NEW YORK, Dec. ga little
more than two years ago when the
Rev. Justin ]. Lyons, curate Of the
Church Of st. Joseph. called the
young folks Of the parish together
and founded st. Joseph's Dramatic
Society he had no idea how onerous
would be the task he had set for
himself.
All about him he had seen his
trionio talent going to waste, for st.
Joseph parish embraces the greater
part Of Greenwich Village. where
Shakespeare is quoted more readily
than George AIDE and knowledge Of
the arts abounds. Naturally Father
Lyons assumed the staging of
dramas, comedies and musical ex-
travaganzas would entail a minimum
OF effort and no particular difficulty
In casting parts.
Rival at Work.
But he soon discovered an invisible
but extremely active agent OF a rival
interest working among his amateur
stage folk. The priest could not pre-
vent him from lurking behind the
scenes and darting out now and then
to carry off the hero or heroine and
force either or both into the com.
parative seclusion of married life.
Perhaps you have guessed 1t. The
interloper was none other than Dan
Cupid himself. And his love darts
were not aimed exclusively at the
star talent. They were aimed at even
the most obscure in the casts. To
date Mr.. d. Cupid has arranged five
happy marriages among members OF
the dramatic society. and there are
rumors that two more are in pros
pect.
Undismayed, however. Father Lyons
has arranged to have the society pre-
sent in the parish hall tomorrow.
