more revulsion than sympathy.
A few citizens did see the
need for reform, and some
spoke out.
Charles Dickens’ voice was
one of the clearest and most
relentless. He investigated,
wrote vivid newspaper reports
and novels; he traveled and
gave readings, to make the
public feel responsibility to-
ward the uncared-for mass of
children.
Dickens was especially anx-
ious to better the treatment of
sick and crippled children, and
he devoted himself to raising
money for the Hospital For
Sick Children, which still oper-
ates on Great Ormond St.,
London.
Among his most successful
fund-raising readings, during
the Vear 1858, was his classic
“A Christmas Carol.” What

In general terms, the
yp; functions of the bride’s at-
tendants are basically the
^ same — to help the bride in
every way they can so that
% one of the biggest days in
*s| her life will go as smoothly
as possible..
Specific duties of each
girl, various pre-wedding
lJ| appointments, and activi-
ty ties such as luncheons and
«| showers will be worked out
with the bride herself.
To all our friends
and neighbors
we sing a joyful
carol of holiday
wishes ... love,
peace, happiness,
and togetherness.
