Bags. t S As Christmas time drew nigh at one of the Cree winter camps near Island Lake, which is about two hun- dred and fifty miles by canoe from Norway House at the mouth of the Nelson river, the teacher, who was the only white woman in the camp, wondered what gift she could give her pupils in rmmbrance of God's great gift. On account of her econ- omical way of living she had a few extra supplies, so decided o celebrate the holiday by giving the children a party. She carifully planned her menu. She had quite a lot of jam loft; so she made jam sandwiches. Having used her supply of tea, she had to resort to coffee, which the children had never before tasted. As brown su^ur was another scarce art- icle she made taffy out of white sugar and flavored it with vinegar. The night before the party she told each child to bring a cup the next morning. When the cups arri- ved it was quite ex'ident that they were coated with many months' prime. To remedy this Miss Sturdy Kave them hot water, cloths and Old Dutch Cleanser and the children dili- gently set to work scouring their cups. This operation lasted nearly all morning, but at noon came they were able o .show shining I'M cups. For the party they placed their benches in the form of a triangle and all faced the centre, where Miss Sturdy made % table from a packing box. When she passed the plate of .sandwiches to the first child, he nc- ec-ptctl the whole plate as his share. However, she showed them just to take one, and all the rest followed the leader. When all had been served she told them to eat; but no one tatsted them, ulhough they had already felt and smelt them. Finally it dawned upon the hostess that they would not eat until thy had said grace, so she began the Cree grace and they all joined in. Then with one or two gulps at the most, the sandwiches were devoured. They were passed and re-passed, until each child stored away about, a dozen sandwiches. For some time their curiosity hat! bt-t'ii aroused by the odours from the coffee pot. When it was served, after much smelling, they drank it. The candy, being of a sticky nature, was rather difficult to serve, but was none the less enjoyed by these Cree children. After the feast the gifus, consisting of handkerchiefs, ribbons, etc., from the Mission House, were distribued. Then they were told that they might go home, but not a child moved. After a rather lengthy pause one child stepped out into the centre of the room. The rest stood up. Then altogether said, "Kiche Mamoo, Miss Sturdy," which, in our language means, "We thank you very much, Mias Sturdy." NOTICE No hunting or trapping on the Beaver Fishing Club property. P.
