The jiro- grammo varied little front the usual, hut there e'crtninly seemed a brighter and more (‘ontented couipaiu’ than in .some previous years. Air. and*Mrs. Lowe and the staff generally did tlieir utmost to give the patients a good time. Decorations of a lionioly and appropriate typo materially assisted in ereating tlio^ proper ATilotido atinosphoi’c ami tlie siiocial fare, served in most .satisfying quantities—and with the option of added liclpings—carried on the good work. Gramoi>hoiic music enlivened the procGcdiugs, hu t i t was |a pity the talked-of wirolc.s.s set was not available. At jui.v rate, there was not'hingjdrab or cold about* Christmas a t the lustifutiou.
