But every one of them must be included in the list. The additional names to the os those who have subscribed fund will be made later, Once again we make the announce- ment that the event will not be held in the Armouries, as stated on some of the invitations which were sent 'out, but will take place in the City Hall.

Essiquibo arrived in Kingston gm and by the Whig representative who has been attending to the compiling of the lists and the sending out of the: invitations. This has been no light, task, but every child whose name is on the list has by now received his or her invitation, with "the possible ex- eeption of a few Poptsmouth children whose names were not received until this afternoon. Their Invitations have been mailed, and should be de- livered on Tuesday morning. On Friday afternoon, when the news was received that the Armour- ies would not be available, both the City Hall and 'the Island Market were dffered as,places for the holding of the event. After a conference with the Daughters of the Empire, it was decided to accept the City Hall, and to hold the event there. This, we féel sure, will meet with the approval and praise of every citizen, and most of all, of the guests, especially should the weather turn cold in the mean- time. Admission will be by invita- tion only and every mother and child Should remember to bring along the | printed card sent out by the Whig. These cards Will be taken at the door, and small tickets, entitling each child to a gift from Santa Claus will be given to the children, The doors will be opened at 2.30, and the event will commence at three o'clock. An effort is being made to secure at least a part of Ontario Hall where the gifts will be distributed from Christmas Trees, | The kiddies themselves are looking forward eagerly to the event, Large numbers of letters are being receiv- ed with every mail from children who are anxious to have their names on the list. Most of these children have already had invitations mailed to them, but all whose names were not on the list are having their cases in- vestigated, and every éligible child will be invited. The preference is given, of course, to those whose fath- ers are still overseas, or have been! killed, but the subscribers can rest assurned that every deserving child will be invited. The work of the or- ganizers and of the committees will be well repaid if every soldiers' child in Kingston is made happy by their efforts. Their work has been heavy, especially as several of the ladies are also organizing+Christmas trees and entertainments for the city hospitals, but it hds been done ungrudgingly, and the thanks of the subseribers are due to the Daughters of the Empire for the able handling of the funds which have been supplied.

The Whig bulletined the hour of their arrival earlier in the day, and as a result there was a large crowd at the Grand Tronk station t greet them, The Salvtion Army and played patriotic fines as the train steamed in. Mayor Hughes and W, F. Nickle were also present. The mayor welcomed the boys on behalf | of the city, and spoke of the gratitude of the people of Canada to those who had fought and suffered in order that the war might be won. He assured them that: the €ity of Kingston was proud of the part they had played, and that the people were willing and ready to do all in their power for them in every way. The men were taken to Queen's Military Hospital in motor ambu-{ lances, and their removal was carried out without a hitch. Amongst them were three Kingston boys: W. Hol- tham, 29 Patrick street; R. E. Clark, 28 Elm street, and W. P. Doolan, 10 James street. One of the nurses was on crutches, having been wound- ed in the knee during an air raid on the hospital in France in which she was on duty. Amongst the officers were Lieut W. W. Armstrong, Peterboro, and Capt. A. R. Bolton, Strathroy. The most serious cases were removed from the train at the outer station, and conveyed direct to the hospital. Second Party Arrives, The party of returning soldiers from the SS. Regina arrived in Kings- ton at 4.256 o'clock on Monday morn- == ing. There was a fairly good crowd = at the station to welcome them. About one hundred left the train at Kingston, and were taken to the bar- racks dat 'Barriefield in motor trucks.' Thirty-eight of them were Sufterios = from mumps, and were pu antine immediately on ut Salvation. Army band was on and joined in the welcome, ih i WAT Ladies' Brown Felt Cosy Slippers. . .. .. .. ..
