Beveral days ago I called the at tention of the readers to a mother who was soon to be visited by the stork; but, through adverse circum. stances, Was unprepared for the little visitor, And surely the good mothers responded to the call, 1 have about a dozen bundles now and must appeal to the friends of The Star to stop nending any more baby fixtn’s Just now. All the bundles and boxes re ceived are well filled with well- selected clothes for a baby, A fow things are a little worn, but they will suffice and they will please the little mother who gets them, One box labeled “Merry Christ mas to the Little Stranger,” from a fireman's wife, is filled with dainty white dresses, warm nighties and little shirts. Saturday a kind mother came to my office with a large bundle of bi necessition, IT had laid them away,” she sald, “we! because they bring back memories of my little Pris- cilla when she was a dimpled baby.” Priscilla, now 6, still dimpled, beard her mother talking of the poor little baby. Her childish heart melted, She ran away and soon returned with a nickel her daddy had given her that morning to get candy with that afternoon, “Here, mamma, is my nickel, See, I'm go- ing to give it to the lady to buy a pillow, sheets and covers and things for the little bab; 80 down through town, straight by all the sweet shops, Priscilla walked by her mother, with her nickel clutched tightly in baby fingers until « arrived at The Star office and deposited it safely in my hands, * ‘ very many nickels her mother explained, * er has been out of work about half the time since jast summer.” We don't need a better demon- ation of THE GREAT SEAT- TLE SPIRIT, and I want to thank all the kind friends in behalf of the little mother.
