Some thought, that he went rather strong in his official capacity when he stepped out of the Lions to fine one of the school teachers for her "execrable taste" as he claimed, "in the selection of her escort for the evening." But her escort smilingly paid the fine for her. Throughout the evening Toastmaster Doss called, at will, on various folks for a speech, a song, a story, or what he would, and there was not a minute of the time when there was "nothing doing."

The tiny tots were wild with joy, and at no time have the pupils enjoyed so much the efforts of the teachers to provide a Merry Christmas for them. Many of them come from homes, cheerless and drab and drear, so that the schools afford th'e only Santa Claus and they know. The exchange of gifts and the remembrances from their teachers make them feel that there Is a Santa' spirit of loving and giving abroad in the land. Mr. and Mrs.
