tain Bows and their gallant deeds. but few
have heard of the Green Mountain Girls
Yet II is only natural in view OF the
present day suffrage agitation that some
one should see TO II that those oldt,me
heroes should be made TO share their fame
with 4 sister COMPANY.
Some one has. Miss Berenice Iutfle OF
Rutland. ~ four years go decided that
there ought to be some one 70 watch over
those towering hills that give the state
its name So she recruited q band OF
hardy girls To he Green Mountain rangers,
and even adouted old Ethan Aliens terse
slogan. only she substituted the Tribune
Fresh Air Fund for the Continental Con-
gress" in the latter half, And every sum
n1er since that time twenty-five girls from
New York have camped during glorious
vacation uerhs rs on the very spot where
over century and quarter ago Allen
and his hand Law bivouacked after a hard
DAYS march.
This is inst another instance of the open
ing up of the country's fairest places TO
the children of the tenements. Miss Tuttle
arrived in town Yesterday to look after the
filing of her party and sent the first squad
of seven eff during the afternoon. The
main party will follow in a few days They
are going-think of it!-Where the land
flows with maple syrup; and although this
is not the open season as far as the syrup
trees are concerned, It is reported on good
authority that the sugar from last sea
sons boiling is still plentiful and fresh
Money contributions to the Fresh Air
Fund are Gully acknowledged in the list
published in The Tribune each day. Be
sides these contributions there are many
of different kinds that do not find a place
in this list. but are none the less worthy
Of mention. Yesterday box of night
gowns and aprons for the use of the chill
dren at the Tribune homes was received
from the women Of the Mum Avenue
Church. of East Orange. A few days be-
fore a package of aprons was received
from the women of the Hope Chapel of
this city and still another package from
Upper Red Hook.
The Tribune home for convalescent chill
dren at Middletown is situated at con-
siderable distance from the railroad sta
ton, too far for youngsters In poor health
to walk At the beginning of the season

to carry all the guests of the home free,
and this they have done throughout the
summer.
Gifts of clothing. particularly play cloth
ing. are always Of value to the workers
of the fund. very often children appear
at the homes without proper wearing APP
parel, in many cases because their parents
are too poor to provide 1t for them, in
others because the mother sending the
child away has logged it out in its Sun
day dress and provided no other for
roughing it Where these defects can be
remedied from outside sources. the prob
lem confronting the attendants is greatly
simplifed.
A fortnight or more ago an appeal was
made through these columns for help in
opening a cottage near New Haven which
had been placed at the disposal OF the
Fresh Air Fund Through the kindness of
Mrs Hartman and Mrs. Jesup the open
ing of this place IS now possible a super
intendent, matron and maids were sent
out yesterday to get the cottage ready for
occupancy this weeh. When IN readiness
it will be used for the entertainment of
parties Of older boys. The cottage is
turned over TO the Tribune Fund by the
owner, Dr.. Graham L.usk. OF New York.
This might appropriately be called Penn

majority of the parties sent away during
the last three days have been sent TO
that state. On Monday there was a party
for BelIville. on Tuesday one for Bradford,
