The War Children's Christmas Fund has been organized to send Christmas boxes to the orphaned and helpless children of Europe. Each childs gifts will be put ipto a separate little paste board box, carefully wrapped and decorated with bit of ribbon and q bit of holly to give it a real Christmassy flavor Each box will contain a toy or two, some useful little article of wearing apparel, a Christmas card, a few pennies in. the coin of the country, and perhaps, a handful of candies. Each box will bear a printed label, in the language of the country to which it is deliver ed stating, that the box is sent with best Christmas wishes and with love of the children of America"
 Such an expression of international peace and good will cannot fail to do good far beyond the mere gladdening of the children; it will tend to lessen the burden of the older ones in sec ing the joy of the little ones and in the consciousness of loving hearts, sympathizing with them in their hour of sorrow, beyond the seas.
 The final distribution of the boxes will be entrusted to the care of gen. erous- hearted men and women on the other side, ready and anxious to do their part, under the general direction, it is hoped, of the wives of our am bassadors and ministers abroad.
 If is estimated that about fifty cents will be expended on each box though the fund, through it's whole sale buying on the best terms, may slightly reduce this amount.
 A day of happiness in a child's life, and a golden memory that will live through years-all for 50 cents.
 How many children do you thus want to make happy? If you can af- ford $100 send that and know that two hundred children will thereby be blessed with d joyous day. Whatever be the amount, give it promptly too, for the time is short. If it is only fifty cents, give that-with the full ness of your heart behind it. Seek to get the children to contribute, per sonally, even at a sacrifice that Will make their gifts bigger finer and sweeter.
 No other investment can yield such dividends-divdends of happiness patd in two continents, simultaneously on Christmas morning.

 Miss Lucy Terrill Ellis, who rep resented Arizona club women at the General Federation c1 Women's E'ubs held in Chicago last June will re- port the meeting at the Womans club Tuesday afternoon. There are few who can rival Miss Ellis in the large amount of splendid informa- ton absorbed at such a meeting, CT in her ability to arouse genuine en- thusiasm in telling the convention story. After the short business ses- sion there will be music, "A Red. Red se,'-Frank s. Hastings, to be sung by Mrs. L. D. Dameron.
