Opportunity for the Publie to Assist in Brightening Lives of Little Sufferers e il Apropos of the advent of Christmas and the birti of a new year, the board of managers of the Children's Hos- | pital, 3700 California street, as has been | customary in the past, has designated three days, December 22, 23 and 24, to | be known as donation days, when the public will be given an opportunity to gladden the hearts and lighten the bur- dens of the unfortunate little inmates of the institution by donating money ! and supplies consistent with the size of their pocketbooks. Particularly in view of the significance of the Yuletide | and the fact that it is a period of cheer, | | the appeal of the management merits a | | generous response from a kind-hearted community. The following appeal has been sent | out by the board of managers: y calling your attention loulhp 1 o n days of the Children’'s 08~ | anoyel ecember 22, 23 and 24, and soliciting Fifts of money or supplies for'this beneficent | Sharity, the board of menagers desires to state that while the year has added population and wealth to San Francisco and the State, to the | hospital this prosverity has been of little ad- vantage. On the contrary, with the growth of the city we have had more sick children to care for without a corresponding increase of income. ; This being the case, our friends, who have always been quick to respond to our appeals, can readily understand that our needs this year are of special urgency.

The | guests, approximating forty in number, | included married friends who had in the past shown the popular bachelor many social courtesies. The decora- tions consisted of a profusion of cut flowers and foliage massed with artistic effect. The host was assisted by his sisters, Mrs. Oxnard and Mrs. Chaun- cey Rose Winslow, who received the guests with charming tact and grace. o Mrs. Camillo Martin and Miss Grace Martin gave their third reception of the season yesterday at their home on Broadway.
