that he was following her up).

On Thursday night of last week two
Christmas trees were prepared in the school
room of St. James Home for the children
who attend the Sunday school at the Chapel
of the Good Shepherd. 1 The exercises were ;
opened with the singing of the Christmas
earoL 'iRingontthe Bells for Christmas," bv
the choir and children, and was ' rendered
with great spirit. A curtain which con
cealed a raised platform was then drawn
aside, and revealed an old time chimney
and fireplace, with the yule logs bnrniDg
and from the mantlepiece was suspended
stockings of all sizes ready for Santa Clans.
At this instant was! heard the jingle
of sleigh bells and stamping of
feet, and old Santai Clans emerged
nponthe scene lamenting bis many travels
and the perils from falling brick in some of
the chimneys, which he fbad narrowly es
caped, but congratulated nimself that his
task was nearly finished, as he had only
two toys left, which are just the things that
little Ed. Brown had asked him to bring.
Suddenly he sees the waitiag children, and
is in great trouble because he has nothing
for them, but he havpily remembers a fairy
who' had promised to cdme to his help
whenever e blew his whistle, whichjhe pro
ceeds to do, and thelovliest of fairies sprang
quickly upon the stage and desired to know
what she could do for him. He explains
his trouble and she puts on "-her thinking
cap" and soon tells Ihim she has a
magic wand, which, I when waved,
will cause her wish to be fulfilled.
This wand she will wave over i the
chimney and assures - him that every trick
will contain a present. She does this and
Santa Glaus fills his basket with the - tricks
which she desires him to distribute to ! the
children. Then with a charming smile and
sweet kiss of the hand she bids, adieu. This
little performance was prepared by Rev.
Mr.'Gibble. Santa Claus was perse nated by.
Mr. Tom w right, who looked the veritable
character and in costume and acting (was
perfect. I. The little fairy j was Miss Beth
Daggett who entered thoroughly into ! her
character, and won all hearts by her inter
est in th tranhlps nf Snut -Claue -The
presents with which' the trees were filled
were then distributed, and a short service
was concluded with another carol, the dox
oloev. and. a benediction by Rev. Robert
Strange. The hall was crowded in spite of
the weather, and all seemed to enjoy the
evening. ; . .. .. ...-!'
