On making inquiries we learn thai foany of the patients at present in the Waiki Hospital are children. Most of the little sufferers have been sent in from the outskirts, where medical aid is hard to obtain, and where perhaps the comforts and ii"cessario3 that do so much in the cure of all maladies are not so abundant as we find them in towns, Wo have ail been children, and doubtless many in Waihi can 'ecall tho tune when they were separated through illness from those who were near and dear to them, just as the children are that wo are referring 10. Those who have been taken from homo at such a time and for like reasons will know that tho thoughts of the little ones soxe. times revert to' the homes they come from. This is the more to be expected at the present time of year the dawn of Christmas. It is therefore at the present time that generous sympathy should be shown to them, and on their behalf we appeal to the kindlydisposed. We would like it to be shown to them that although they are parted from tho&e they love best | there are others whose hearts are feeling for them, and who wish to make them happy on tho day that all should be ;ia happy as one can make another. There is no bolter way of doing this, anil of securing to the children n day's enjoyment than by sending them a few of tho toys that all children like to have round them at Christmas) tinie. We are suro that th« appeal will not be in vain. Tho great law of kindness is the best in the world, and we trust that the kindness of the ladies will be exemplified by gifts of toys for the child-patients, There are manywLo should have our sincorest sympathy at this time—those who are bereaved, those in the presence of bdioavo* ment, those who endure the pinch of poverty, those afflicted by private sorrows, and indeed all who lack the heart, tho moans, or the opportunity.

to bo gls»tl—but none more so than the child-snllWers, We sincerely hope that on Christinas morning the j stockings around the ■ cots will not be found empty, but rather that Santa Clans will show liberality, and fill them to overflowing. Any gifts received by the matron will bo thankfully received and faithfully applied, and.in making the children happy the happiness of tho givers is sure to be increased.

The question of the largo expense to which the hospitil had been put of lute made it necessary, in the opinion of most of those present, to bo cireful not to undertake too much, and that however much the soats woro needed, they would have to observe economy.
