dren.

The Kentucky Childrens' home So.
ciety now has in its institution two
hundred and four children who are in
need Of homes. These children range
in age from three months to fourteen
years and they are possibly the bright
est and most attractive set of girls
and boys we have ever had.
The success of our work depends
upon placing them in good homes, and
We trust that those citizens who are
willing to help the work will notify us
of their willingness to take child and
will write the institution, 1886 Baxter
Ave, Louisville, KY, at their earliest
convenience.
Only irSt class citizens who have
Christian homes need apply for the
children, for we will not send them
into homes where the children will
not have the very best of Christian
care and attention.
We do not mean by this that we ex-
poet only rich people to take the chill
dren, for some of the very best place
ments We make are with people who
are in moderate circumstances.
The Masters saying, ''Inasmuch as
ye did il unto one of the least of these,
my brethren, ye have done it unto
me- possibly was meant for just such
work as this and at just such a time
