he announced.
Christmas is only a month off, and
the patronesses will hold a conference
at the Young Wmen's Christian asso-
citation building on Hill and Thlrd
streets soon to consider the makeup OF
the working committees.

time as new work piles up, as 1t will be

sex and ages, the gifts available, and
to collect the funds and look after reno
yation of all wearing apparel contrib

general committee later.

and ages of all worthy children shall
be sent at once to the Santa Claus
editor, the Los Angeles Herald; also
notes from the children expressing their
preferences for gifts. Santa Claus
wants to know what the children want
and need most, especially in the line
of useful, substantial articles. Be sure
