The Air of London.

There is no fresh air in the heart OF
London, according to the conclusions
of recent investigator. He says: "No
evidence OF ozone was anywhere ap-
parent except at Brownswood park, In
the northeast. It was from the north
east quarter the wind was blowing,
and the air had lost all trace of ozone
before 1t had reached Hyde park. Al
Bushey park, although practically a
country district, no ozone was present
In the air. London had not only alb
stracted the goodness out Of the air
that swept over It, but had added to II
the exhalations from the breath and
bodies Of millions Of human beings and
of tens of thousands of animals. Per
sons living within one or two mile
radius of Charlng Cross cannot have
fresh air entering their dwellings al
any time"

What Happened to Two Lutte Vacation Society

the secretary of the society. leaned for
ward and looked at Maggie and Della
sympathetically. Sorry" she said brisk
ly. "but Il isn't a bit Of use taking your
names. Every place we've got Is taken up
To the end OF October. and we've got a
big waiting list besides"
Della and Maggie gazed at her in wide
eyed astonlshment For the moment II
was not so much disappointment that
Della felt as 1t was surprise. OF the two
chums Il was always Della who looked on
the bright side Of things always Della who
expected things Ito happen nice" and for
some reason things did always seem %
turn out wen for Della, though perhaps
10 only seemed so. because she was .n tae
habit Of making much Of the lucky things
and forgetting about the unlucxy ones
The secretary leaned forward, answering
Della's surprised look. There are" she
explained, only a limited number OF
places. A number Of persons who live in
the country offer TO entertain girls during
the summer and then we pay board at
other places, but there are always more
who want to 90 than there are places for.
''Well," said Della, standing her ground

declared Della. Then we1l go right up -
the vacation society Office and put our
names down.
Two little cash girls we're rebuked more
than once ut the bargain glove counter
that day for lnattention to business and
general carelessness. Della was buslly en-
gagged IN watching the noorwalker so that
she might discover when that gentleman
was at leisure and In a sufficiently good
humor for her to lay her plans before him
with some hopes OF success. And Maggie
found 1t impossible to keep her eyes from

asked the manager ''Weli, as soon as
you hear from them let me know.
Della promised, and as soon as the two
girls were relieved from duty they started
up town for the Office OF the wonderful
v cat on society which was to give them
for the first time In their lives two whole
weeks Of country fun.
When they reached the building which
was their destination they found before
them In the big Office evidently bound on
the same errand half q dozen girls In
their teens, all Of whom looked as If they
needed a vacation badly. Behind the big
desk In the corner young woman in
spectacles sat writing the names and ad-
dresses Of the girls, asking them questions
and comparing the entries in big book
Maggie and Della were not only the last
but also the smallest girls in the line, for
although in the city labor bureau where
the boys and girls Of big cities have 70

go to work. they were rated as fourteen,
they were both small for their age, ana

sturdily, "put cur names down anyway.
You might find place after all"
The secretary yielded and began making
the usual formal record But you must
thoroughly understand" she declared,
'that there isn't a possible chance for you
unless a miracle should happen
Yours too?" she asked Maggie as she
finished writing Deua's name. But Maggie
shook her head, She was too disappointed
to answer the secretary's questions, and
she had no hope that 1t would lead TO any
thing. so the two little girls said goodby
and went away.
And Just about ten minutes after they
were gone the president of the society
came in and said:--''There's a place where
they'll gladly take one more little girl for
two weeks beginning day after to-mor-
row. Who have we got that can go then?'
"Weil' said Miss Ayers, after a care
full inspection. "theres only one girl who
can go there on such short notice. There

It was so large that It took her long
time to blow It, and when It was finished
1t was almost as high as the tops OF the
trees. Then she blew another bubble that
was rather large and fastened It to the
big one. When she had done this she
opened the side Of the second bubble and
the Bishop walked into II. The Prince and
Princess followed him, hand in hand, and
all the bridesmaids and pages went in
after them. The Godmother waved her
pipe and the birds musical birds, perched
on the tops of the bubbles. There was
plenty OF room for them.
Then the biggest bubble began to 90 up
IN the air, and the other one, with the
bridal party, went with 1t. Bertha could
see the Bishop and the Prince and Prin-
cess and the bridesmaids and pages inside
waving their hands and bowling and smil-
ing. Up they went, over the tops OF the
trees. and the bubble balloon changed Into

musical birds played some lively music,
very loud, that sounded like marcn. IL
