"We cannot-. begin --to- fill -the--demands," she said, speaking of this phase of the society's work. During the past year the society placed 232 children for adoption) 70. more than in 1934. During November it found foster 'homes for 37 children. As in previous years, girl babies have been' -more popular than boys, but in the last few months, there has bee larger demand fpr boys than ever be- fore. The children placed with fos- ter parents, have almost all gone to homes in cities and towns. Forty of the children placed this year have found foster -fathers who are professional men; 60 have gone to the homes of managers or clerks, connected with railways, banks or post offices; 51 have been adopted by skilled tradesmen; 40 by semi -skilled workers;,,14 by farmers; and five by: unskilled workers. The rest have been adopted by relatives. Applications to the St. Vincent de tion have also been extraordinarily numerous, the matron at the society's home said, "All our .girl babies are cleared out," she announced. • CHRISTMAS ACROSTIC •e•e .Mereily..zing-the-Christmas bells-- Every elle.-_Every heart with rapture swells, Round the world with- joy proclaim R'ed'emption in the Saviour's name, Youth and age alike will say t Christ was born on Christmas Day., Herald Him, ye glittering throng, Rend the morning light with. song, In Judea's land a babe is born, Sent to -comfort all that mourn, Trusting in the promise given, Marching on our wav to heaven; All of earth in gladness sing Songs of praise to l heaven's King. • Douglas' Egyptian Liniment - is a quick, certain remedy for Hoof Rot or Thrush.

There, she's, turned off the lights and is sitting down in the arm chair in front of the fire. How tired she looks, and strained.

Yes, everything is done, but how tired she is! - Eleven fifteen! She's dozing. Eleven thirty! She's awake and feels rested. How nice the room looks in the firelight. The tree glistens so', and the white bundles underneath are yery mysterious. The house is warm and quiet. • The logs in the fire burn lazily. Her thoughts wand- er idly, but come to a stop when she hears voices singing. 'Holy night'— all is calm—rest -- peace." She strains to hear more, and the Carol .singers come: closer, bringing a mes- Gage which she had nearly overlook- ed in the stress and hurry. How stran(te that she hasn't thought more about it.
