AIR AND DIRT.

Keep the babies in the open air."
said sensible medical man to the
mother of two pale, delicate-looking
children.
well, l can't see that they get any
thing but dirt out Of DOORS" the lady
responded, somewhat fretfully.
Mrs Weldon looked at the tucked
and ruilled dresses that her little ones
wore, the broad ribbon sashes, the elab-
crate lace caps, and shook her head
obviously. Dirt and disorder were very
distasteful to her. The children never
went out with their nurse-a woman
who had been specially selected for
neatness and care-taking qualities
that they did not return the worse for
wear. The excuse for this was that
Master Willic-tour years old would
pick up all the stones and sticks that
came in his way, and Baby Ruth al
ways tried to do just what her brother
lid.
Mrs. Weldon could not not under
stand why the clean, well-aired nursery
was not as healthy for children to play
in rs out doors in the dirt. They had
drive every pleasant day, and why
wasn't that enough? She believed that
it was, but the children grew thinner
and paler and more fretful. The doc
tor was summoned again, and his
prescription was the usual one--dirt
and air.
SO one fine morning the little family
started out with the intention of spend
ing several hours in the park. A baby
carriage was procured at the entrance
for the children, and for half an hour
or more everything progressed in an
orderly manner. Then Master Willie
grew tired and demanded to be allow
cd TO walk. This was the signal for "A
grand outburst from the baby, who
s,aunchly declined to remain moment
longer than his brother did. Mrs.
Weldon took tlNe latter infant by the
hand, while the nurse led the baby and
propelled the carriage. This arrange
ment was Of short duration. Master
Willie spied bird, and with almost
birds quickness, started in pursuit.
In vain did his mother call to him to
return. On and on he went, but the
momentum was too great, and before
long Master Willie had collided with
another little boy, falling Hat on his
face in not oyer-clean spot. There
was great splash Of mud on his beau
tiful crimson sash, mud on his pretty
cap, mud on his embroidered skirts, and
his poor little nose had met with very

What a nuisance a collar Is, to be
sure! If the button on your neck band
does not come of in the process of ad-
lustmcnt-a and sometimes it does not
even then the trouble is not over. On
the contrary, it is only just begun. II
YOU do not pin down the sides, ten to
one your collar will be climbing atop
Of the neck-band and keeping you in a
continua fret all day long; and if YOU
undertake TO pin the stiff linen in place
YOU have got a struggle before you.
You push and push, and the more you
push the more persistently does the
pin refuse TO penetrate. You throw
pin No. ! down with casual remark,
and take up pin No. 2. No. 2 deceives
you into believing that it is an honest
pin. The point enters the linen with
charming doclity, but when you would
drive it home, it doubles up into a fish
hook, and, with more casual remarks,
you fling it after No |. You catch
with desperation a third pin. and Civ
ing IL savage push, drive it half way
up to the head into your thumb or fin
ger. Not to mention the pain that
throbs through your lacerated digit, the
fact that your collar is besmeared with
blood, and that il must come off and
you must begin operations de nOUO, is
enough to complete your transition
from mild and gentle good citizen in
to heartlcss villain. Yes, the collar
Is nuisance, with everything apper-
