At the reception given yesterday afternoon by 81.

prevent the coming of many guests. and the gloom
outside could not dispeI the cheerfulness Of the

strangers and always covered his face with his
fingers at their approach but soon as they had
passed two wide Italian eyes would peer up out OF

sat about in their small chairs and nurseo the
dolls or toys. There some wonderful stuffed

The plan put forEar. at the meeting OF
the Board Of Health yesterday by DR.. Herman

committee Of the Charity Organiza tion Society.
Besides the merit OF the life in tha open a
great advantage. Commissioner Ledere and Dr..
Biggs say. is that this plan would enable the
Health Department TO begin the actual caring
for patients early in the spring instead Of wait

was being erected Also. it would involve only
slight initial expense. The plan was dis
cussed freely at the meeting. and. Commissioner
