of Merry Christmas"
When the two trucks are finally
empty Of packages some $500 needy
children will be assured of the
Christmas present they asked for in
their letters to the Christ Child
Society Christmas Committee.
Now in Its Sind Year.
This holiday tradition Of the So
ciety now in its Sind year is a part
Of an idea conceived by Miss Mary
v. Merrick In 1885. The idea now
materiadzed is the Christ Child
Society, with headquarters at 6O8
Massachusetts, avenue NE, which
provides dental care, convalescent
facilities, summer camps and play
and education for thousands Of boys
and girls from poverty stricken
homes.
The society's Christmas Committee
which in 1885 first brought Christ
mas to 18 needy children, now MAIN
tains its own headquarters during
the holidays. This year they are at
1887 Connecticut avenue, the scene
Of feverish activity during the last
two weeks. It's not an easy Job to
see that each child gets the exact
present he asked for.
The committees work began with
the receipt Of letters from the chill
dren who want scooters, wagons
skates and dolls, things that aren't
the necessities of life but more the
necessities Of the heart. After as
sorting the letters, the committee
through its family visitors" investi-
gates each case and obtains a COM
plete report OF the family circum-
stances.
Gifts Are Recorded.
The letters are then sent out tc
society members or friends who have
| volunteered to answer the letters
with the requested gift. Each person
assuming this responsibility pur.
chases the gift and delivers it to the
committee headquarters with the
name Of the child attached to it
The gift is then recorded and later
all of them are assorted into the
various parish divisions of the city

mittee carefully checks through it.

has been answered with a gift. If by
chance letter has been unanswered
the committee itself provides the
gift. Each year the committee buys
100 pairs of roller skates, 300 dolls
$50 sweaters and an assortment Of
toys.
The dolls are sent to various pa.

In choosing the Beethoven con-
certo, Mr.. Elman has added to his
reputation here as a master inter-
prefer of the great concertos, his
playing of the TschaikoWsky and the
Brahms being yet fresh in memory.
Last evening one felt the pleasure
of the Soloist in every note which
he drew out of his instrument and
his revelling in the beauty of the
pattern which he unfolded with care
and affection before his listeners,
who followed him in rapt attention
through the entire performance.
There are other concertos that
the public has grown to consider as
almost exclusively Elman's, so we'll
do they suit his tone and style. The
Beethoven, perhaps, is less capable
of giving the full freedom to his
particular temperament and de-
mands less from his sonorous tone.
