Looking with big. interested baby
eyes at the crowds of. new faces COM
ing and going. munchins- the crackers
and simple candies some kind hearted
person had supplied, so or 20 little tots,
ranging in age from months to 10
years, reigned supreme for a few brief
hours yesterday afternoon in the rooms
of the Associated Charities in Jackson
street.
They We're a smiling, happy little
crew, too, in the arms of foster'parents
or strangers, and laughed and crowed
and frolicked around unaware of the
many eyes looking for perfections or
defects in their baby charms, and bliss
fully unconscious of the part they were
playing in their own little feast day.
For it was adoption" day.
ELIGIBLE FOR ADOPTION
The children present were those eli
gible for adoption, who have come into
the hands of the Associated Charities,
Youngsters who have been farmed out
until homes could be procured for them
and who were brought for inspection
yesterday into the public limelight In
all the glory of their Sunday best they
were present to meet Mrs. Emma w.
Lille. secretary of the central COM
mittee of the Native Daughters, and
before leaving each little face was pho
tographed, so that the pictures can be
scattered broadcast wherever the Ma
tive Daughters have d parlor in the
state Of California
The object is to procure them good
homes homes where as little native
sons and daughters they will receive a
kindly welcome, and where they will
always be more or less under the SUI
pervision of the parlor that placed
them. To further this plan the chill
dren's agency of the Native Daughters
has definitely united with the Associ-

Each little waif was brought to Mrs.
Lille personally yesterday, so that
wherever she goes she can speak Of
their merits to those who contemplate
adopting them. And she herself has
taken a fancy to one bright little chap
of :. who. alert and bright eyed, would
be picked out of any group.
Look at that child, she said.

to he adopted by some one wanting a
child. 4 would really love to have him
myself
Clifford Bloom is his name. and he
is as manly little fellow s you could

spoken for him so far, however and
he is stfll dependent on public charity

one he has known of late.
Two little twins were there, two

Clara Faby, one a little beauty with

but making up for it in her sweet
