 it in the postcffice or letter box, so | Miss Houston can have it tomorrow There are just ten more days in which the arrangements can be per- fected for Santa Claus to come to the 1 70 pcor little folks of the city who are depending upon the Big Brothers. aLd it must be remembered that look l ing after these arrangements does not constitute all Miss Houstons work-she has all her regular Chari- ties work to attend to also, and that is no insignificant jcb. especially just at this time, with the weathsr cold and so many people to he looked after.
 Nobody doubts for a minute that l every one of these 40 children are [ going to be visited by Santa Claus, through the Big Brothers and the Big Sisters. There is no question what ever about that part of it. The only thing is this:

 One Touch of Nature.
 One touch of nature makes the whole world kin, and there was real pleasure experienced by everybody yesterday, at the gift shower by the Baptist children. for the benefit of the orphans at th2 Monticello home. The residence of Mrs. J. w. Stephens was crowded and packed and jammed with little folks, each of whcm brought something from Santa Claus for the orphans. The children nere had as much pleasure in the giving, as will the orphans experience in the receiving.
 "It is more blessed to give than to receive" the utter truth of which w'ss proved at the gift shower yester- day and will be proved again by the experiences of the Big Brothers and the Big Sisters, when they know. On Christmas morning. that 70 poor chi.- dren in Pine Bluff have awakened to find their stockings filled with can dies, fruit, nuts and other goodies and pretti:s. .s.-.
 How It Works Out.
 Thsre is fine cooperation being extended by everybody in this work this year. The Elks are going to have thcir big Christmas distribution of toys again, as they have had each year in the recent pat. The Social Service clut has been busy some time -thir;y or forty girls and young womcn, bless them all-preparing to make these little people happy on this, the one day >of the year, when they should be happiest.
 Miss Houst3n, as executive and general secretary of the Ass2cia.ed Charities, was in the best position to compile the list of the little folk. and all her inclinations w:re directed to this cause, hence she is serving now as the "middleman," as it were. Miss Houston has the list of the children just as she has their names, their ages, sex, and othsr data concerning them, SD that one can be discriminat- ing if enc chooses, and one can find exactly what would please some par ticular tot best of all. "r One thing only remains unfinished the Big Brothers must notify Miss Houston of what they will do. Send her the coupon. Call up by telephone ! Monday cr Tuesday, or she will call y-u. after she receives your coupon, and you can then tell her more par t:culars, or obtain more particulars from her. concerning the children l you willa care for.
 1 Miss Houston will receive thss!. stuff you get if yea send it<tosher office, and she will see that it. is properly cared for and packed and delivered at ltIae prcper tirae,ss go the Big 1 Brothers wills have ; no work, no worry. no loss of time, in making the ] youngsters happy. n,s sx-sa s:.sfs x
