GENERAL HOSPITAL. HAS CHRISTMAS TREE
Nurses Home Scene Of Merry making As Presents Distributed

The nurses home at the B1rmlng ham General hospital presented a happy scene Christmas Eve when Dr. W. c. Gewin, on behalf of the hos pital. Birmingham merchants and friends of the nurses, played Santa Claus to the girls and the hospital staff.
 A brilliantly lighted tree was the center of attraction and was loaded with presents for all of the merry gathering which filled the three downstairs parlors. According to Dr. Gewin's reading from the outside of the packages, they contained every thing from hair pins to blue prints for a Hove nest"
 The occasion was planned by the hospital staff, ably assisted by the employees and friends of the institu- tion. Gifts were, provided by the hospital for all nurses and employees. Tokens and messages from former T patients, who remembered their kind treatment at the hospital, poured in. These were added to by the mer- chants of the city, making total of many hundred presents.
 Music was provided by some of the more talented nurses at the piano, and from the new Victor, a gift from the hospital to the home. Later in the evening a band of wandering negro musicians was brought in and added to the general holiday spirit.
 When all presents had been dis tributed, and smile marked every face, Dr. Gewin made a brief talk, reminding them of Him whose birth day they were celebrating, and urged them to try to make their lives similar to His and in the discharge of their duties to Do unto their pa tients as they would have them do unto them"

Christmas Morning
lMerry Christmaslo lo

These magic words ring in fathers ears as he throws back the covers and makes ready for another days work. They strike home like a dash of cold water. A perplexed frewn, quickly fol- lowed by broad smile.
 Merry Christmas" he sleepily mumbles. as, remembering, he pulls the cover back and turEs over for a second nap.
 But who could sleep, anyhow, with the kiddies shouting and singing and marveling at the generosity of Old Man Santa Claus.
 So it is not long before father, half dressed, is up in the sitting room, right in the midst of the fun. He never knew what fun there was in mechanical auto mobile or electric train until he watched Johnny with his.
 Mother dashes in and finds father down on his knees with Johnny and the toys. He laughs nervously, but just a moment. for Mary's doll won't go to sleep, and mother slides to her knees, too. Soon girlhood days come back and she is a kid once more.
 Fumes of burning biscuits flood the attic. Mother skurries back to the kitchen. Breakfast all rched. But who wants breakfast Christmas morning, anyhow?
