Mrs. Suitt had her annual Christ mas party for all O.P.C. personnel on Monday afternoon before Christmas. No one can make an ordinary examin ing room look more festive than Mrs. Suitt—greens and candles all around —a beautifully appointed table, laden with good things to eat, and a big luscious coconut cake, her very own make, at each end. Every one had cake, coffee, nuts, and more cake. It is good to have our sick folks hack on the job, and we’ll say a big welcome to ilildred Ellis and Coleen Howard. We’d like to thank the other members of the O.P.C. organization for their loyal lielp and understand ing while we were short.
