The Mimic World Miss Faust's conception of
Salome is chaste She decorously clothed a

and her dancing was that of spoiled child trying

LITTLE GIRLS AID FUND.
Fresh dir Children GiUe "Shosc" to
Send More to COuntru.

One of the most encouraging fea of the
work of the Tribune Fresh Air Fund is the
prisins readiness with which the children learn to
help themselves. The instances when. uncoached.
the childish beneficaries of the fund have forTnu-
lated in secret some deep laid scheme to raise
money for sending other little children into the
country have been unusually numerous this year.
The general influence surrounding Fresh Air
child is, OF course, good. After all, case like
Marys and her playmates' proves the existence of
inborn virtues that in stimulating environment
might do great work, but under adverse con-
ditons could not fail to make themselves felt.
Mary was painfully excited when undergoing the
kindly scrutiny of the medical director In East
list street ten days ago. Little girls. failing to
meet all requirements to cleanliness. being told
by the doctor to sit with other NO. 2" girls. dis
played displeasure chagrin. Your head
needs hours longer attention" accepted
stoically by them as one of the compensations de-
manded by nature in advance in payment for the
pleasures in store.
Mary ten years old, slight, blue-eyed and
thoroughly alive She felt humiliation for each
NO. o. girl that in intensity squared any deficit
caused by the absence Of similar sensibility in
their minds.
AS the time drew near for Mary to be looked
by the doctor she suffered, and when she
finally stood before the arbiter of her fate, in
her high-wrought condition Mary considered the
physician to be, she colored breathed hard. and if
she had not proved mo. /" girl, she might have
been weeping yet.
It this capacity to feel in Mary that caused
her to think up plot to loot the townspeOple OF
their cents and silver. For the first two days the
newness OF the life in the country all that
Mary could handle in the way of sensation. The
morning of the third day she called three little
girls around her and they sat under a tree by the
roadside, talking low. for an hour. Then was con-
ceived the plan to have the children at the Home
give an entertainment, the proceeds to be sent to
the fund. The idea struck twelve the parents
brought their children to the show and a goodly
sum was duly received by the Tribune Fresh Air
Fund
One little girl played the piano She knew only
one piece but encore the audience appauded

reason for apparent misunderstanding between

applause for the singers another number on
