Orphans' Christmas Treat.

A tea and Christmas tree were given to the orphans, on December 80th, at the Girls' Club, and thus they were enabled to share in the festivities of the season. Upwards of twenty were present. It was very gratifying to see the tidy, healthy appearance of these children. After spending a happy afternoon, all received gifts from the Christmas tree, which they highly appreciated, judging from their beaming faces as they left the rooms. We would tender our thanks to the ladies who so kindly provided a substantial tea, and to the friends who sent us the gifts for the Christmas tree, which was tastefully arranged by Mrs. Boxall and Mrs, Louth.
