NO. 10 IS NOW CLOSED Represent Real Sacrifice on the Part of Donors. Another opportunity closed is the news which comes from the Social Service House this noon. The last lucky number is Opportunity No. 10, No. 5 having been previously fully subscribed. With only five days re- maining to Christmas, the Assoclated Charities renews its earnest appeal for early glving. Small sums, as well as large ones, are needed. The goal is not only one of money, but of real friends for these dependent familles— invisible friends, to be sure, but none the less true ones; 1,000, if possible, laxainst 780 last year. Surely there are { this number in Washington who will | remember these seventy dependent ones, fifty-three of them children. Real Self-Sacrifice. Many instances of self-sacrifice on { the part of the donors are brought to {light In the letters accompanying the gifts. One ‘person sends $5, signing | herself, “In His Service.” The money was given to be spent on herself for | medicine or for some other needs. She | writes: *While I was reading over the | fourteen opportunities, as I have read them from year to year, With a wWish | iz my heart that I had something to | zive and a prayer, I remembered the {check, and while T was asking God's to know which was the right £ to do, my baby girl climbed on piano stool. and, fingering the <. began to sing ‘Silent Night, Holy o 1 am sending you the eck to do as you see fit, with a yer that it may do good and be a ing to some one who is worse off than 1 am.” 1t is this sort of friendship of the poor for the poor, which expresses a great fellowship of real sympathy. Those who suffer most can sympa- thize best. Such self-sacrifice, too, inspires tbcse charged with the ad- ministration of this Christmas fund with a deep sense of their responsi- bility, not only to the givers, but to the familfes under their care, to see that every cent is made to go as far as possible, in_attaining the goal, namely, happy, healthy, better child- hood under the guardianship of wise- Iy directed, wholesome mother care and love. | help | thin th A Trust Fund. Givers may rest assured that the ssociated Charitles regards this hristmas fund as a trust and that every cent given will go to one or mora of these fourteen families. If for |any reason a family ceases during the vear to need further aid, any balance remaining will be transferred to one of the other opportunities. The total received to date is $3,621, still needed. s may be sent to the Associated Charitles, John Joy Edson, asurer, 923 H street northwest, or to the office of The Star. Fourteen Opportunities. OPPORTUNITY NO. 1. NOBODY'S FAULT—JUST SHEER MISFOR-; TUNE. WIFE AND__INVALID HUSBAND, SIX CHILDREN. In a little six-room house with a front vard, where masses of flowers bloom " all summer long, lives this| gentle, childlike woman, whose nerves { Rave never fully recovered from an | | i | accident which occurred in girlhood. A devoted husband protected her and cherished her until f{llness deprived her of his care. He is gradually growing worse at the hospital, where he has been fof more than a year. There are six children, obedient and sweet, all devoted to their mother. Jane, the eldest, is a quiet, studious girl, who helps mother sew and clean. am 1s a scout, the envy of his younger brothers, because “he can see all the parades.” The pet of the whole family is the baby, just four- teen months old. Eighteen dollars a week, or $936 for the yvear, in addi- tion to what relatives are doing, will keep the happy home together through 1923. Amount asked, for, $936. Previously acknowledged, $139.50.

Education in homemaking and health, this is what the care of the Associated Charities has meant to this family. Thrown upon her own responsibility by the death of her husband from the “flu,” this mother was unprepared to assume the head- <hip of her household. Now, thanks to the Instruction of the society’s home economist, the two little girls are becoming adepts with their needle iand the mother is 4 much improved {housekeeper. One would hardly {know the delicate children of a few {months ago. _Specialists have cor- | rected their physical defects and the | nutrition clinics have brought them fup to welght until they are now i{sturdy and well.

It has been a brave struggle, | but the mother could not make it go, | owing to her frail health. The two| | little rooms which they call home are | splck and span and bright, with tiny | {plants in_the windows, love and | | sacrifice.

DREN. Left a widow, with a baby two! weeks old and five other children; under ten, this .mother knew of! nothing else to do but place two of . the kiddies with relatives and the ' others in orphanages.

THE GOAL IN SIGHT. WIDOW AND FOUR CHIL- DREN. This widow is doing all in her power to make a home for her four children, and shortly her struggle will bring its reward, for the eldest child will soon be old enough to go to work and to make a substantial contribution to the support of the family. With the goal in sight, sure- 1y it is worth while to extend a help- ing hand, for the home is an excellent one and the mother takes advantage of every opportunity to improve as a housekeeper under the instruction of the home economist. Just now two of her underweight children are being brought up to normal by attending a nutrition clinic each week. Twenty five dollars a week is the amount needed to keep this home together, or $1.300 for the year. Amount asked for, $1,300. Previously acknowledged, $151.50." Mrs. J. C.
