lowest quarter Of tie city and invited Fix
poor, diiapida.e1. half -s:lrved children IN
der 10 years of age to spend tie day at her
seaside home. She said it was heart break
ing 10 see the wistful faces of the other
children In the neighborhooj, who watched
the departure of their wretched little play
mates. Every summer this lady gathers up
these stray waits and gives them q days
pleasure, independent OF charitable essocia-
tons or "fres.i air. funds.
There Is large, airy room IN the stable
on her estate which SIZE has fit.el up for
these little transient guests, and there they
have a hearty breakfast before being taken
iown 10 the shore, where they are given a
sea bath and afterward ailowsl to play In
the sand or On the grass under the trees.
There is a swing for them, and toys, shovels
md pals and dolls for the little girls and

ables and pudding sitter, that one tot
whose eyes We're bigger than her capacity,

Dc much surprised to hear it spoken of as an
act OF kindness.
