I send a gift to my Aunt Jane, and she sends one to me; the gift I send gives her a pain, and she cries, “Hully chee!” And she sends me a guady pair of slip- pers she has knit, whereat I sigh and wring my hair—the blamed things do not fit. The little chil- dren love the things we send by Santa’s mail; they're happy as so many kings—Ilife hasn't made things stale. I hear them shouting in their Jjoy, and love them for the din, in raptures o'er some flashy toy that's made of wood or tin. But when a grown-up getg a gift, in Christmas ribbons tied, all wearily he maketh shift to see what is inside. And then we hear his doleful cry, as he upsets the chairs: *“More slippers! And already I have forty-seven pairs!” The Christmas tree its head uplifts, a pleasant thing to see; now let the children have the gifts —1I hope there’s none for me!

The suffering of the people of the near east cannot be relieved, but it is che hope of the workers in that area to alleviate it this year if the Ameri- zan people will not fail of support said 'B. L. Horn, director of finance ind_supplies for the orphanage at Alexandriopol, Armenia, in a cable- gram received yesterday by Charles V. Vickery, general secretary of the Near East Relief. 5 We are gambling on the generosity of the American people and are using f00d for general relief that must be veplaced if our orphans are not to verish before the end of the winter,” he message said. “The great need here can never be met.” continued Mr. Horn. “We can only hope to alleviate the suffering this year—not to relieve it entirely.
