Reports of the Christmas work were very gratifyiqg. "On December 22, - member~ of the committee and friends went to the unit. decorated the tree and room, and gave a little party. To each of the twentysix men was given a box containing handkerchiefs, cigarets, s tat ion e r y, postage stamps, and other articles, supplementing the boxes given by the district committee. Cookies, fruit, nuts, and candy were provided by our friends. All the needy men already had been supplied with warm clothing. "At the suggestion of the teacher in the school, each of the blind men was given a new book in Braille, with which he was delighted. Several families of veterans were bountifulty supplied with a Christmas dinner. tovs for the children, and clothing for ail. Two were given a ton of coal. One mother was furnished a round trit> ticket to Elgin to see her two sons. "So many opportunities were given us to help in so many ways and we were happy to have been able to supply all that was asked of us. Five yearly subscriptions of the Chicago Tribune were given for Veterans' hospital 105. "We ask WILMtT'I'£ Lin to thank all who helped us make a happy Christmas for these people and wish them all a Happy New Year." ·· ll!'fJ ,... --:~ The Woman's club of Wilmette, under the auspices of its philanthropy department, is haviag its ne~t day of sewing for charity friday, January 20, at the clubhouse. ~ This m~eting, as usual, is open to all women of the village.
