It will be seen that it Is the gentlemen

of tickets over beyond the mmntaics
and one very large bunch in Portland
among which these lucky numbers

his big load, and wu compelled to send
a masa'nger calling for help. A
momont later, however, he drove up at
the rear of the hall with a pleasiot
jangle of bell& such as put the house,
full of little ones, i>i a fever of excite
ment. His entrance was greeted with
yells of delight. After greating the
house and congratulating the oiiy on
the splendid number and good be
havior of its children, the busy little
man promised to be back next year
with a still bigger bag if the conditions
were the same and then hurried away

The Christmas tree was simply a
work of art.
After the guests and little ones had
departed an Informal dance followed.
At the Fifth .weoue hotel a dance
was given to and by the guests which
