Alone at Christmas.

If in this age of organizations innumerable there is room for one more, it is for an organization which would bring together, especially on Christmaß, those who are alone in the world, particularly women, says the Ladles’ Home Journal. Many of us who have our kin closest to us on Christmas day do not stop to realize what our feelings would be if they were not with us. It is so hard to imagine ourselves in a position other than the one we are In. We remember some poor family at Christmas, but at least it Is a family. It is together. The one is company for the other even in poverty. We remember the sick, and God blesses those who do. Would that some of us might cast a look around and give a thought to those who are not sick, who are not perhaps poor as the world Judges, yet who are alone some girl, perhaps, alone; soipe woman, alone; some young man. some old man, alone! Alone at Christmas!
