Each little guest was brought 0 the "Y" chapel by his partic iar "big brother" or "big sis er" where a Christmas tree had een attractively arranged with oys, fruit and candy for each -hid. It made our hearts rejoice o see the little faces shining with ,ireat expectation and hear the eils of joy that escaped their lit le lips as they looked on the m-esents that were soon to be heirs.
