expected they frequently have such demonstrations as wrap ping christmas parcels christmas decorations christmas table cen tres and they sing christmas car ols but they go farther than that very often someone reads the story of the other wise man or parts of the christmas carol or even the christmas story from st luke though the institutes being non- sectarian are careful not to intro duce any religious observance that might not be acceptable to all the members one institutes theme last year was christmas is a chris tian festival not a commercial round of selling feasting and drink ing in one way or another the wis seem to omhpasize the idea the christmas meeting is a spe cial occasion for hospitality in many localities every woman in the community is invited especially any new canadian woman in the district frequently these women are asked to tell about christmas customs in thefr homeland or to sing christmas carols in their own language it is rather common practice to invite the children of the community and to have special entertainment for them or to have the school children put on a little concert and sometimes a shy wo man who has not joined the insti tute will come to this meeting be cause her children have been in vited with music and storytelling a cup of tea together and the christmas spirit very much alive in the gathering this is usually considered the happiest meeting of the year do they exchange gifts al the christmas meeting not often it lsa more general practice for the members to bring gifts for someone else the sick and shutin of the community the children in the county shelter the old people in the county home or patients in a samtorium last year one institute december roll call was answered with the gift of a toy for a child in hospital in another branch each woman brought a piece of her christmas cake to go into parcels for the shut in of the community a shower of books games cross word puzzles and gramophone rec ords for the county home was the happy idea of another branchy they sent out christmas cheer baskets where there is a need for them or even provide clothing and bedding for families in need an institute on an indian reserve gave christ mas cheer baskets to one hundred and fifty persons ill aged and children and layettes and other clothing to patients in hospital very often the christmas meet ing is the time for a donation to some good cause in institutes where the women used to bring gifts for each other they now bring a donation for the save the children fund or the tuberculosis christmas seal campaign or the crippled civilians or for relief in korea or greece or somewhere else their whole christmas activity is out going they arent just having a good time among themselves last year one large institute had a tur key dinner for the members and their families but at the same meeting they voted 10 to the tub erculosis seal campaign 25 to the hospital for sick children 25 to the save the children fund 100 to the local hospital 15 and clothing to korean relief and 25 to the caretaker of their hall so they could hardly be considered selfcentred around christmas time many in- stitutes take a party to the county home for old people they have found that the residents of the homes enjoy singing and since everyone knows most of the christ mas carols a session of carol sing ing with everyone taking part makes popular entertainment at one home the womens institute along with service clubs and the salvation- army got the best musi cal talent in tho district to give a concert but they reported that the star feature of the programme was a recitation by a man ninetysix years old which goes to show that institute women are not only given togood works but that they have a good sense of human values
