oPEN.AlR SCHOOL WINS

Only twenty pupils remain in Bos-
tons public open-air school for chill
dren afflicted with tuberculosis at
Franklin Park, says Boston dispatch,
the other twenty three who attended
having been dismissed as cured.
Throughout the recent billiards. the
open-air pupils have remained at their
lessons, red faced and happy. They
are all said to be making rapid prog
ress toward recovery. These practical
results are very gratifying to DR..
Thomas F. Harrington, medical ad-
wiser to the Boston school board, at
whose advice the unusual school was
established.
Every pupil keeps record Of his or
her weight and temperature, and once
every two weeks each pupil reports at
the hospital for examination. OF the
daily routine Miss Helen Mead, who Is
in charge, said:
1.-THE children come here at $3.50
o'clock In the morning. From then
until noon they study at their desks
out in the open air. Through the morn
ing they have breathing exercises and
a great many other things to break UP
the monotony.
"At noon they have lunch prepared
by Mrs. Cook, the matron, in the
kitchen downstairs. After that they
come out on the roof again and wrap
up in blankets in camp chair for an
hours sleep. Then they work until
$3.50 or o'clock in the afternoon, with
dinner at $50 o'clock. They are then
freen to go home"

.oNE-PlEcE PLEATED DRESS

the yoke band, belt and sleeve bands
of Hamburg embroidery. The vogue
for colored embroideres could be eff
fectively carried out on this model.
A plain brown linen would be pretty
ornamented with bands of metallic
green, embroidered in brown. A
plaid or checked Bingham could have
carried out on it design in cross
stitch. However in trimming this lit
tie dress, the fact that simplicity is the
style must not be lost sight of. Be-
sides, it must be remembered that it is
exceedingly bad taste to have these
little frocks deliberately made.
For wear under garment such as
this, boomers could take the place Of
the old-fashioned petticoat, and, on the
whole, they are much more satisfac-
tory, for not only do they tend to
decrease the laundry bills, but they are
much more comfortable than skirts
They can be made from any pattern
one may have on hand. or even pair
of ordinary drawers can be used, cut
ting them slightly larger and finishing
them with elastic bands at the knees
and around the waist.

CHILDREN'S PARTIES

| When planning for a good time for
the little people it is well to remember
that children like a Shutdown" party
Little tables accommodating three or
four are greatly appreciated, and If one
lives near or in a town these can gen
orally be hired for quite a small SUM.
Children are much more sociable after
a meal than before; therefore refresh
ments of some sort may well be an
early item on the program.
Rich dishes of every description are
quite out of place. Provide wholesome
dainties that appeal to the eyes as we'll
as to the taste. The most careful
mother or nurse won't object to the
little ones eating sponge cakes in all
I shapes and sizes, iced with chocolate or
colored sugar.
Protect all open fires with high
guards; fluffy frocks catch fire SO
easily.
Children like doing better than watch
ing.
Clear one room for the rough romps
of the bigger girls and boys, if possible;
there is less danger of accidents than
if furniture is left in.
Get two or three growns-ups to act
the part of street fakirs, and hawk
trays of penny toys. Hide counterfeit
pennies all over the house. The finding
thereof will afford huge amusement,
and when found they can be used to
purchase the toys. This is never
failing amusement.
A new idea for parties is to erect a
rustic we'll and have each child let
down a bucket and draw up a present.
Old-fashioned games, such as musical
chairs, blind mans buff, oranges and
lemons, always go"
A simple frock that will wash is the
best thing for a child to wear. Finery
makes the children self-conscious and
afraid of playing.
Begin early and end early, and the
mothers will he grateful.
Don't encourage well-meaning but
mistaken uncles to represent realistic
bears. 1t often terrihes little ones so
much that it is difficult to soothe them.
Remember. tiny inexpensive presents
give quite as much pleasure as costly
ones. Penny toys are always greatly
eciated.-Exchange
