81 take this opportunity of offering
the services of Prof. Parmegainie's
grand concert band. consisting of
twenty soloists, including a quartet of
saXophones, during the dinner given to
the poor of Los Angeles at the Young
Mems Christian Association building
on Christmas day. Yours respectfully,
MRS. Won K. FARIA, Manager"
Parmegianie, 1t may be stated, or
ganized the Creatore band, now known
all over The musical world.
Finest of Bands, Too
This organization is made up of Sc
lected soloists who have appeared at
nearby cities and in Los Angeles, but
,tpita1 hand are declared b0
the best on the coast today.
And while the music and feast1ng is
on il should be borne in mind that to
many il not the vast majority of these
children-these guests of Los Angeles
for day--the scene will be new and
novel. The magnificent Y. M. c. A.
building, a product of the builders of
today, will dazzle their childish minds
and the attention of the hundreds of
volunteer Mattresses, chaperons and
nurses will open their eyes to human
pity and sympathy. To most of them
it will be an OBJECT lesson in the broth
erhood of man.
Only the best Of foods will be served,
the cleanest entertainment will be
given and the budding manhood and
womanhood of the thousands will be
awarded due recognition,
There is but little time left now for
tears and sentiment Money, clothing
and food is wanted for the multitude.
II there is any left over 1t will be dis
tributed In baskets to needy families,
hence no one need to hold back on the
ground that enough has been sub
scribed."
Not only that, but if the funds per-
nit It an order for shoes or mer-
chandise will be given to every child,
good during the next week at desig-
mated stores.
In words that had the true ring the
Southern California Music company
yesterday sent in q check for $25 to
the fund. The following letter went
with the check:
Dear Sirs: We desire to contribute
the inclosed amount of $25 to your fund
for Christmas to poor children, as per
recent announcement in your news
paper.
Trusting that the funds will reach
goodly proportions and with kindly re-
CARDS we are yours very truly
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA MUSIC
COMPANY, BY Frank j. Hart
Over in Glendora dwells a young
woman who has the real Christmas
spirit in her breast. A day or two ago
she read a pathetic letter from a girl
in Glendora asking for presents on be-
half. of the three sisters. Yesterday
Miss --- of Glendora wrote The Her
aid. asking for the name of the chill
dren, and said she would see to it that
Santa does not overlook the little
family.
The Herald would be glad to hear
from others who wish to take care of
juvenile correspondents situated out
side the confines of Los Angeles.
