Christmas Day was a happy one for the young folks on Stephen street who were fortunate enough to be the children of the Rideau View Com- pany's tenants, for the company took the part of Santa Claus and none were forgotlen. Two Christmas trees were set up in the front drawing- room of the residence of 8. G.

Now even the comfort of the doubt was taken from her. Hadn't Brian written: "I see her often. She helps to keep me out of mischief?" That thought she carried with her constantly. Mandel noticed her ab- straction and wondered, but with hia usual tactfpiness he said nothing, did nothing, save to make everything as easy and pleasant for her as pos- sible. Ruth had teld him that her aunt wanted her to give up her position and remain at home, She had told it laughingly," as something she would not even consider. Yet it had made Mandel fearful that something might happen to change her mind, He knew that Mrs. Clayborne's wealth made #t unpecessary for Ruth to work if her aunt decided to look] after her. He also Kew that Mrs. Clayborne thought -little of Brian. He knew it instinctively. Neither she nor Ruth had ever hinted that such was the case, Now Brian was away---might never return. What more natural than that she shoul devote her wealth to those nearest to her? To~-morrow----Ruth Dwells Upon the Intimacy of Brian and Mollie, each child's name was written on a town, N.Y. .

On Christmas eve Mr. Turpin illuminated the trees, and all of the children were formed into groups and taken to see them, On Christmas morning at eight o'clock they were admitted to receive their gifts which were handed from the trees by Mr. and Mrs. Turpin, The little hearts were full of expectancy and ail were in a great state of excite- ment which gave way to manifesta- tions of real pleasure and gratitude for the company's thoughtfulness and generosity. Horns, whistles and mouthorgans set up a great din that will be remembered in Stephen street for some time. Mr. and Mrs. Turpin have no child- ren of theiy own but feg parents en- joyed Christmas more than they. The! amount expended upon the treat for the kiddies was $40.36. The directors of the Rideau View Company are Dr. J. J. Harty, Dr. Ed- ward Ryan, Elmer Davis, A. W. vie Wheatley. The late Hon. H. W.! Richardson was also one of the dir-| ectors. The company owns forty-two houses, all of which are tenanted and the children number 125. Last spring the company gave the tenants the privilege of cultivating five acres of vacant land adjoining the properties and vegetables to the value of $1,700 were raised. Some of the tenants raised hogs too, and the company was 80 pleased with the work done by the ohildren that the Christmas treat was arranged as a mark of appreciation and to gncourage them in the forma- tion of thrifty habits. -------------- ' PURITY OATS MAKES Better Porridge Canade Pood Board License Nos Cereal 2-000 ~ Maur 18, 16, 17, 18 1 The same care and skill is used in milling PURITY OATS as in our more 'famous product with a wonderful [920% Asizacs to Remain A Year.

Thanks to the generosity of the Richardson and Cataraqui Chapters of the Imperial Order of Daughters of the Empire, the patients of Mowat Hospital had a sample of the real Christmas spirit on Tuesday evening. A splendid entertainment and Ohrist- mas Trec were provided for the boys, and every man received tokens of the goodwill of the citizens. W. F. Nickle M.P. presided over a large and happy gathering, and most enjoyable aven- ing was spent, Col. Genet, on behalf of the Headquarters staff of the Mili- tary District, extended the greetings of the season to the boys. A fine musical programme was rendered. Solos were sung by Miss Anita Suth- erland, and Messrs Swan, Spargo and Murphy. Miss Sutherland and Sergt. Spargo sung Guets to the great de- light of the audience. Captain E. C. Robinson recited, as also did George Smith, who was in his usual happy mood. | An interesting event of the even-| ing wae the presentation of the Vie- tory Loan honour flag won by Ports- mouth in the recent campaign to the hospital, and of the pictures given as prizes to Mowat for the float in the victory loan parade. George Smith made the presentation in a neat and witty speech. Miss De Wolfe, 'in- structor of the therapy class, - was presented with a manicure set hy the members of the class on the occasion of her leaving the hospital. Sant Claus appeared on the scene about nine o'clock, and, accompanied by Mrs. Santa Claus proceeded to dis- tribute the gifts which hung on the two beautifully decorated Christmas trees. Coffee, cake and ice eream were served, and a very pleasant ev- ening was brought to a close by the singing of the national anthem.
