Will this week in ‘the following letter from little Suzanne Rouard, a fatherless French lassie whom Mrs. Will recently adopted through the Bismarck committee of the Fatherless Children of France: Gussey les Forges, Nov. 30, 1918. Dear Benefactor: I write you a few lines for my little sister Suzanne, who is only six years old and cannot write herself. I wish to thank you infinitely for your good heart in coming to our aid. Mama charges me also to thank you very; much for her. She is grateful to the good charitable soul who comes to our aid in raising my little sister who cannot work yet. We have al- ready received within the last few days forty-five francs. Our family received word that our July, 1915, and we are left alone— three children with our good mother who works for us. We raise some vegetables but it is very hard in this country. I have a ‘brother, the’ oldest of the three, who is. fourteen. 1 am twelve and my little sister is six. My brother helps my mother in the field. I do the housework; and my little sis- ter goes to’ school. We would like very much to know you aad to see you but the distance is too great—it is impossible. I send you a photograph of Suzanne and my- seli. It ix not very good but I hope it will please you. bf I end my little letter to you iby soading you our good wishes. Ex- cuse the expression of -my letter for I have not much education. Dear friend and benefactor, receive with all {our thanks the sincere Criendship of the whole family.

BISMARCK HOMES TO BE THROWN os OPEN TO YANKS CHRISTMAS DAY ‘Bismarck homes on Christmas day will be thrown open to al soldier boys who are in the city with no homes of their own available for this occa- sion. This will apply particularly to the Yanks delayed here en route to their homes in other parts of the state. \ This plan is suggested by Brooks Hoskins, who recently returned from an engineering contingent stationed at Washington, D. C.. with whom he spent several months-in khaki. Brooks cuinal no.credit for originality in the -.mattér, for eastern towns have been doing it from.the start of the war. On Thanksgiving day the Bismarck Yank .and every other.

CHRISTMAS CAROLS TO BESUNG ‘CHRISTMAS EVE FOR THE POOR MEMBERS OF THE JUNIOR RED CROSS ASSIST IN. WINDING UP CAMPAIGN would not be amiss, says Capt. Bell. He has personally investigated the condi- tion of every family reported to army headquarters. —T! e is more actual poverty in Bismarck than the city has ever before known. There is a larger number of families who are absolute- ly dependent on others for any cheer which Christmas may bring them, Christmas baskets filled with good things to eat with a plump chicken’ or substantial roast of beef or pot the piece de-resistance, and well-s ed stockings for the little folks are the stock in which the contents of those Christmas kettles are to be in- vested. A quarter a half or a dol- ov five of them, doesn’t mean a great degl to those of us who have hud ordinary good fortune and sood health and who have no absent loved ones to mourn, , But the = things this little Christmas bit will buy wil mean a whole lot to some poor family, and where they will sing in the coridors for the benefit of the patients. Then they will separate into fdur or five groups to serenade the homes in the residence district. It is requested that homes which wish to hear the singers carol place a candle in the window, and that homes #o favored be prepared to make some small contri- ‘bution for the benefit of the poor. The singers will start out about 9:45 and wil carol until 11. stood at various street intersections with litle:.workers blowing blasts on horns and shouting “Join the Red Cross.” The weather interfered to some extent as to numbers, but there was Plenty, of volume to the effort.
