Vacations an Quaint old Tozcn.

Under the cool shade OF grove OF large elm
trees in the quaint old town OF Fairfield. Conn, is
a summer home for children sent on outings by
the Tribune Fresh Air Fund. Throughout the
summer. for many years. parties Of twenty girls
have been entertained this beautiful place
guests OF the people OF Fairfield Elm Cottage is
the name Of the little home where the poor chill
dren enjoy their fortnightly vacations. but so
great the interest of the Fairfield hosts in their
fresh air work that ,--ey have planned for
building, which will be erected next spring.
Elm Cottage is close 70 the shore OF Long Island
Sound. and one OF the women OF Fairfield who has
great interest in the comfort OF the guests had
road constructed from the home 10 the beach for
the special of the children. She also had
playhouse, finished in natural wood. built the
beach, and there many happy hours are passed in
picnics and bathing parties.
Fairfield IS an ideal New-England village Il is
the of many historical Incidents. and repre-
sentatives OF its old families go Fairfield every
summer.
The Rev. DR.. Frank 5. Child OF Fairfield. is the
leader in arrangements for entertaining the chill
dren.
In one OF the recent parties for Fairfield was a
little girl who sang to herself all the while she
was in the Grand Central Station. The mission
ary who was with the party took the child up in
her lap and said: Ny, But you happy little
girl to-day Aren't you? She has been to Fair
field before and she knows what good time is in
store for her. Her brother went away last week
with Tribune Fresh Air Fund party. and when
asked this little girl If she wanted TO go along
with him, she said, InteeG. I don't He won't
have half good time as will He is going up
among the rocks. and he can't have swim He
got his picture looked last year. and said that was
more an I had 1 got doll. and that beats hav-
ing yer picture looked.
one girl pulled a rag doll out OF her bag and
showed it to the missionary "See!' she said I'm
going to give my dolly a bath every day. but man.
ma says must keep her feet in the water too
long. cause then they would come or Live peo-
pies feet don't or in the water. Why won't
