Brilliant Opening of Its Season. The Gridiron club opened its season's enter- tainments by a brilliant dinner at the Shore- ham Saturday night. The floral decorations of the room were in the usual good taste of the club, and the promise of good things held out on the gridiron-shaped menu was fally sus- tained when tested.

She was the companion of the Field girl, recently sent The Story of the Christmas Club. ‘The story of the origin of the Christmas club in this city is interesting. A lady living in Portland. Me., in December, 1882, while thinking of the happy Christmas time then ap- proaching had her thoughts turned toward the poor children to whom the season brought no happiness. Her sym were aroused, and wi planning out means and methods of doing som thing to alleviate and brighten the lives of the unfortunate she conceived an idea as if “The hearted, otilars of Port- * warm-! ews ildren land will helj ied e was right. Gey did hel; on Christmas day many laughed and were fed and made merry who otherwise would have be ge the holiday in sad- ness and in want. In following December the story of this first Christmas club was printed in St. Nicholas. This magazine came to Washington about ving day, and it was not long before a good many people had read it, And as they readit they said: “Our sun is warmer than that of Portland; our hearts must not be colder.” And when they came to the legend at the end, “Go thou and do like- wise,” they said: “Our Washi children will not do less than those of Portland, nor shall they lack the help of their elders.” And they set themselves to work to help, and thus the children’s Christmas club was born in Washington, A number of baa omar clubs were formed, of one of which Nellie Arthur, the daughter of President Arthur and then a small girl, was ident. On Saturday of the same week Eventxo Stak published the St. Nicholas story in full and called attention to it editori- ally. Four clubs were formed in four sections of the city and on the 28th day of December, 1883, nbout 1,800 children were feasted and en- tertained. The next year all the clubs were reorganized with the exception of one,and this has been the history of each suceeeding year down to the present time, The coming Christmas promises, through the efforts of the Christmas club, to bring in its train joy and gladness to many whose lives are not rich in the pleasures which help to constitute ahappy childhood. The children who are members of the club not only contribute their money and toys aud clothing, but many of them are appointed to act as waiters ut the dinner, to see that the guests of the club are cordially received and well sup- plied with good things. The cardinal idea of the Christmas club is to teach the children to share Christmas with the poor and to give sym- pathy with gifts. a John Burns, the leader of the London dock strike, has been prevailed upon to visit this country in the interest of organized labor. He is expected to arrive early in February and will deliver a series of lectures under the ices of the American federation of labor. anager Ned Gilmore of New York has received a cable message from his agent in London stating that the latter had secured Gen. Boulanger for a series of lectures in this country. 1113 1113 WE BEG TO ANNOUNCE TO OUR CUS- TOMERS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC THAT OUB STOCK OF DIAMONDS AND GOLD JEWELRY, STERLING SILVER- WARE, WATCHES, CLOCKS AND FANCY GOODS WAS NEVER 80 COMPLETE AS AT PRESENT, AND WE WOULD SUGGEST THE ADVANTAGE OF EARLY SELECTIONS FOR XMAS PRESENTS, FOR THE LATER IT GETS THE MORE DIFFICULT TO RE- CEIVE PROPER ATTENTION. 47-1m HARRIS & SHAFER.
