On Sunday, December 10th, 188, a lady was sitting in her warm, comfortable parlor in Port- land, Maine, watching the snow jlakes as the keen wind sent them scurrying this way and that. She shivered involuntarily as she looked, and then she ‘thought of the poor children to whom that snow Drought the real and not the counterfett shiver; she thought of the happy Christmas time fast coming ou, but bringing with it no reltef to them, unless some one should remember and help then. She said to herself, “I wili do anything for them, Dut Falone can do nothing, T must have a hundred hundreds of helpers. Where shall I get them?” She thought a moment, and then came as ans ‘he inspired idea, “The warm-hearted, gene Portland chtldren will_help ¥ help her, and not only the children, but their parents ‘and their elders, and at the head of all Eame the mayor of Portland. Space will 1 Jait the telling of all that was done that, Christ Tor the Hidren of Portland.

In December, 1883, along came the Century company, with its Christmas number of “St. Nicholas,” and way in the back part of if was the story of this first Childrens’ Christmas Crud and of What it had done for the little girls and boys of Portland. ‘This maga-| ine came to Washington about Tha ng day, although the story was in the back of the Book, it was not long before a good many people had fead it. And as they reaa 1 they sald: “Our | gun ts Warmer than that of Portland; our hearts yaust not be colder.” And when they ‘came to the at the end, “Go Thou and Do Likewise” they said: “Our Washington children will surely hot do less than those of ‘Portland, nér shall they lack the help of their elders." And they set them. selves to work to help, and thus the Childre Christmas Club was born in Wasitington. ‘THE FIRST YEAR. A number of separate clubs were formed, of one of which Nellie Arthur (then a small girl) was pres- ident. On Saturday of the same week Tue EvEN- isa Sta published the St. Nicholas story in full, and called attention to it editorially. On the fol- lowing Monday a call was made in Ture Star for cer- Cita geutiomen ‘to act with the ladice who were the children; the gentlemen met, the city ‘Was divided into four districts, funds were sub- Berlbed, the district clubs were organized, and all jons were made for four separate Christ Imas entertainments, one in each district. All, but Hy the ladies and children, were énthustas- tic, and put their purses, thetr hands an ir Souls ito’ the work “And when. the Holy Innocents? Day came, on the 28th day of December, 1883, about 1,800 children sat down, or rather stood up, to the long Ines ‘of tables loaded with turkey, and the cus lomary belongings to a Christmas feast; then they had Puneh and Judy and other amusements, and whey went home with a present, a box of candy da Christmas card foreach. At the dinner of jot II, the tables had been beautified by plant ind. ns sent from the President's gree houses. ‘The President himself, the Chiet Justice bt the United States, and the vénerabie Mr. W.

As the Innocents’ day fell upon Monday, it was thought best to postpone the din- ner, ete., until Tuesday, the 29th, and on that day 750 poor children came as guests to the Christ- inas Club feast of District IJ. In the three districts It Is estimated that about 2 ren were en | Yertained. Again came the nt, the Chief Justice and Mr. Corcoran.

"This second Fear was, as tts predecessor had been, most successful in accomplishing the re. gults for Which the Children’s Christmas Club was Tormed. LAST CHRISTMAS. In 1885 there was some difficulty in the reor- ganization of the club in District IT, as some of the ladies who had acted from the first, and who had Deen earnest and assiduous workers, were com- pelled most unwillingly to give up their arduous task. However, Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleveland, ‘with a promptness and spirit which endeared her ‘wo the people of Washington, consented to act as ident of the ladies’ committees, and Commis mer Web) acted in the same capacity for those | of the gentlemen. Molile Vilas, the youngest | danghter of the Postmaster General, was elected president of the club, and Neliie Arthur became | one of the vice presidents.
