One Month Of Special Effort.

200 HOT WATER BOTTLES WANTED AT SUNSHINE HOUSE.

Dear Sunbeams—,

o o-o I can hear you all wailing, ' ihe campaign to close so soon. O-o-oh, Wendy!" Cheer up, un earns, iis going be a very jolly month and one just teeming with bustle and ivork- Of course, if I r° m p S ,e r campaign to commence in January and end in-December (terrific groans rom eer an, Wo voids he has not been able to call his office his orvn s'nee tTie day I bestowed upon it the honour of being chief storehouse for quills at Sunshine Land). ,■ , °£ Ve /' ~i° U ° an '' naß ' ne ' lon ' impossible it would be to have a great long campaign of this description. In the first place, my Sunbeams cannot be working at high pressure all the year through, and besides, Peter I an and 1 have lots of plans up our sleeves for the next few months. ~ i-i 0 e S °f Vou, Sunbeams dear, that you will mafye this final month a month of special effort. I >ou ife to send out, before the campaign closes, at least another hundred single-bed quilts, and tfh how badly we do need hot Water bottles. v At present We have none at all at Sunshine House, and I have just longed to slip one into every parcel ve have sent out m the past week. In particular I have several little children in mind—" Bonnie," who is seven and a Wee delicate slip of a child; and John, who is a patient little invalid; and Russell, too, and Mavis. All these tittle folk live m homes where cold and hunger, alas, go hand in hand. Then, 100, I know of a dear Utile o ayow om 1 have been able to send one or two comforts —a warm shawl and a pair of bed socks —and to whom a hot bottle Would bring much comfort and joy. / U1 ' S mU t0 0 an ** so muc h happiness Wailing to be given at a cost of a little lime and roti e. ometimes lam amazed at the joy a threepenny toy gives—just a threepenny toy which means so to us and yet gives such happiness to a baby heart. Or it may be a pair of bed socks, and I think "A little wool and a few hours work, and yet it gives such happiness."
