LETTERS FROM LITTLE ONES,
Nell Nelson Writes OF Tiny Philan-
thropists's Offerings.


Here are some sweet little letters from baby
New Workers, which may help to remind The
small boys and tiny girls OF their duty to the
poor sick babies.
"TOotsic" Is three years old. She lives in
Jersey and wants to help all she can, so she
sends a dime and n kiss" The money is
carefully sewed up IN the end Of kid glove
nngW, pinned to the paper and sCalloped
with pen strokes, presumably to indicate the
kiss. This is the first kiss on recori with
scalops.

quaint communication comes from a
home up in Harlem and IL evidently baby's
first letter II Is written with a pencil, and
the fact that the paper Is punched and cut in
several places argues two hands and great
deal OF hiarity. It reads:
"My name Is Ned, and am firtoen months
old. These ten pennies were saved on a rat
tie. ] wish they We're silver dollars Instead
Of copper pennies" A blessing and tho name
ends the dear first letter. To he sure, ten
copper pennies are not very valuable by them
selves, and yet, II every baby's mother would
do now as Ncd's did yesterday there would be
enough money Ia the cashiers possession TO
close the Fund and double the staff
A wee girl living in West Ninety second
street sends little woOllen shirt and a small
