Thanks to tha generosity of tho. firm, tho children wero taken for-a thrilling-trip; in the "sub-, marine" to "Father- Neptune's grotto." Then' followed an hour and a half of all kinds of exciting games, under the, capable direction of Miss N. Webber, who gave the little ones a thoroughly happy time. The lounge rang with the, merry shouts and laughter from so many young throats, and the largo number of mem-bers-of the-staff, who so willingly .assisted in the entertaining of their small guests, were greatly delighted that their efforts to . give a . little '' Christmas cheer" were so fully appreciated. A delicious "tea party" was set in an adjoining room, and the 200 little people did ample justice to the many good things placed before them. Ice creams, balloons, and a bag <of sweets to each child were among the happy surprises. "Father Christmas" arrived, and cut the beautiful huge pink , and white Christinas cake, and also presented each little member of the Smith Family with a gift. Mr. L. Page, of Kirkealdie's staff, convened this happy party, and to him much of the credit is' due for such a delightful treat. The president of the Smith Family spoke a«few words of thanks and appreciation.
