Tourist headquarters for
this season has been selected
and work of redecorating it
will begin this week.
Using the experience gained in the
past. Fred Herndon, publicity secre-
tary of the Chamber of Commerce,
said. and knowing now what tourists
want in the way of a gathering place
and playground, the headquarters TINS

and hospitable in the South.
HEADQUARTERS OBTAINED.
Two large rooms, formerly the
kitchen and dining rooms of the Texas
hotel at Martin and Navarro streets,
have been obtained for headquarters
this year.
Mrs. Henry Riegler will be the
hostess of the Tourists club to be es-
tablished there, Mr.. Herndon an
nounced.
Decorating and furnishing of the
rooms will be completed within few
days and the place ready for occu-
pancy, he said.
Early arrivals Of tourists, assuring
that the season this year will be the
largest in the history of the city, Mr..
Herndon said, has necessitated acquir-
ing additional space for their pleas
ures.
A large storeroom in the rear of the
hotel has been obtained and will be
converted into an assembly hall where
dances and parties can be held.
Three outdoor Fairgrounds are
being prepared in connection with the
headquarters. Croquet and horseshoe
pitching courts will be built on vacant
lots west and north of the hotel.
PARK FOR PLAYGROUND.
| Permission has also been obtained
from Commissioner of Paris Ray
Lambert to use Travis Park as / lay
ground for the tourists, Mr.. Herndon
said.
Tourists are already arriving in the
city so fast, Mr.. Herndon said, that 1t

headquarters is ready.
Dozens of persons are calling at the
Chamber Of Commerce each day, hi
said, and the register will be kept there
until the club is opened.
By means of the register persons
from the same sections Of the coun
try are brought together and thell
winter stay here made more pleasant
through their association.
An indication to the nationwide
popularity of San Antonio as a win

in the fact that approximately 800 re
sponses are being received daily TO tn
publicity campaign now being put owe
by the chamber.

Scene Of Merry
Gathering.
By BESS CARROLL

Merry Christmas is going to be
even merrier than merry this year.
And like the fur coats and frozen
ears, people are wearing everywhere
right now except in San Antonio,
there's reason.
Mr.. Santa Claus, who is always
voted the handsomest and most popu
lar person on earth every Christmas
has appointed group of public, spirit
ed San Antonians to be his personal
substitute on Christmas morning.
They are the Palace theater, the
Queen Candy company, the San An
tonic Public Service company, the
White Sightseeing company, the Mer-
chants Transfer company and the A
h. G. Auto Livery. They are going
10 carry out Santa's program.
You see, an old fellow like. Santa
can't stand much night life, and after
visiting every home in the world
Christmas night he will feel. pretty
much ike the morning after, even be-
fore the morning after comes.
PLAN BIG PARTY.
SO these people, accepting Santa's
request, have planned a big Christ
mas party.
At 10 o'clock Christmas morning all
rhe orphans Of the city will assemble
Of the Palace theater. There will
be a special big-time program. arrang-
ed especially through the courtesy OF
the Palace for the occasion. And lis
ten, Skinnays-the Queen Candy com
pany will give everybody candy. Yum
yumi Even without the candy the
party would be nice, but with the
candy think how sweet it will be
ZOO.
In order to make it possible for
every little orphan in San Antonio to
attend the party, the A. b. Z. Auto
Livery. the Merchants Transfer com
many. the White Sightseeing company,
and the San Antonio Public Service
company have guaranteed transporta'
ton.
ALL INVITED.
Could anything be nicer! Ut
including the can3y-sweeter! Es-
pecially since it's going to be such u
very big party. All the boys and girls
in each Of the ten orphanages nave
been invited. That makes about ooo
guests. II it wasn't party, that
many people would be mass meet

Usually about that time OF the DAY
on Christmas morning, every little
