BOYS MAKE SPREAD
OF 0LDJH00SERS
One of the many presents received
by the Day Nursery, and perhaps the
most unique of the lot was a comfort
made of the cast-off trousers of tre
Sunday school class at Park's chapel,
southwest of the city. This bed cover
was not only made of the tiousers
of the little men of the class, but
was made by thoni. The boys tinder
instruction from their mothers sew
ed the pieces together and, bastln?
the batting on a blanket, "ticked"
the quilt themselves.
When the cover was thus finished'
It was put up and duly lubeied to
Mrs. Jennie C. Younr, special agenl
for the United Charities. Mrs. Youn
was so pleased with the spirit prompt
ing this gift that she caused it to bo
(INplajed to all visitors at the home.
She will make formal return of
thanks to the class as a whole, after
tne holiday rush shall have passed.,
