WORTH WHILE.
Widow and three children.
A home is a home, and this widow
has done more than her part to give
her three children a, real one. There
are no luxurteS in this home and il
takes careful planning to make both
ends meet, but she has done It, frail
though she is. She is the inspiration
of her children. The two older girls
make excellent marks in school and
the teachers report them as a fine
influence on the rest Of the pupils.
Then there is a little one in kinder
garten, whose health must be watched
carefully, whose sweet disposition IN
dicates the training and love received
at home. The children are ambitious,
eager for the good things that life has
to offer but sometimes withholds from
those seemingly deserving. They are
anxious for the time to come when
they can help mother and repay her
for what she has done for them. Isn't
the preservation of such a home
worthwhile Christmas gift? Thirty
dollars week or 1850 a year will
make 1t.
