SANTA CLAUS COMING
TO CHILDREN OF POOR
Friendless Little Ones to Have
Merry Christmas by Being
Lent to Lonely Rich

Probably 100 little children, who other
wise would n2 doubt spend lonesome
| Christmas, without any one to look out
for them. will have the fullest measure
Of holiday happiness this year as the re-
suit of novel plan originated by the
Chiidrcn's Aid Society-that OF lending
OUT boys and girls for Christmas.
Already so applications have been re-
ceivcd by the society from places far and
near to send child to cheer the appi-
cants for this unique charity. and so far
that number of little ones are assured Of
as happy a Christmas as ever they will
have, for. in most cases, they are going
to the homes of wealthy people, who have
promised them the time of their young
lives.
a long line of children is waiting ex-
pectantly day after day at the society's
headquarters for Santa Claus in the form
of the kind-hcarted man or woman who
will eventually come to claim them.
"Will the lady come today who Is to
take me to her home and show me Santa
Claus and give me toys for Christmas?"
they inquire daily of Miss Tague. who Is
I'm charge of them. Probably the most
impatient of these are Ruth years old,
and George, who is L. Little Ruth's
mother is in service and cannot afford to
take care of her, much less provide her
Christmas joys; while George is so COM
pletely friendless that, aside from the
society's officers, there is no one to take
an interest in him.
Miss Tague offered the photographs of
these children, who are typical of those
who are being lent out" as n pathetic
appeal to the charitably inclined to come
and take them and brighten THAR
nous existence
Then there are Frank and Joe, and
years old respectively. They are brothers
and they were brought to the society re-
Gently from up the State, where they
were left motherless. The society is espe-
cially desIrous of placing these children.
In fact, they are worried more about tho
boys in their charge than the girls. In
most cases, girls. especially with golden
curls. are easily provided for, but boys
somehow or other there does not seem
to be so great a demand for them. There
are those, however, who prefer boys and
1t is for these they are waiting and hop
ing.
Inquiries have come to the society from
all parts of the country. In some cases
hey come from childless homes; in 9TH
ers from bachelors or spinsters who de-
sire to give the children some happiness;
while In not few cases reque. Is have
come from aged couples whose sons or
daughters have married. leaving them
lonely and with no one to care for
In many instances children who are
borrowed for the holidays are kept
permanently and adopted into their new
homes. their benefactors becoming so at
taehed to them that they do not want TO /
send them back In this way the So
ciety's novel loan plan often leads to un- |
told possibilities.
For the benefit OF those who would play
Santa to these friendless children, they
may he seen any day at the headquarters
OF the society at 4l9 South 18th street.
