I am so glad — glad for you as well as for our U ader gat teu children, because such beautiful gifts as you give can ouly spring from loving, self-denying heatt?. Perhaps "Dot" will havo told you that your money ia to bo spent cv a doll and a cradle for the Yaralla Sckool, and that will give so much pleasure. I wi.-h jou could see the Walker ulretfc children saying good-bye to their " baby." They huve grown to love her bo muob, and to cure for her to tenderly. Good-bya, dear little folk-i. I hope you will all have a very H«ppy Christmas.— Your friend, J. L. Kei-sey, Secretary Kindergarten Ateodation.
