For a novelty she made up one scrap book of snow scénes and sent it to an Australian hospital. The Aussie children were delighted. Also in each parcel Mrs. Beal includes a book of drawings which children can color. She believes that the .children in hospitals ob- tain some spiritual inspiration from the drawings. Mrs. Beal is looking for more children's hospitals here and abroad to which she can send her small contribution towards helping make people forget their troubles.
