Her face was wreathed in smiles as she
boarded the train. There we're ether smil-
ing faces in the party, 70 be sure pul
Angela's outshone them all and almost pun

With a dozen others she had made ready
70 go and was looking forward TO Thurs

the liveliest anticipation. Monday after-
noon. however. she appeared at the Insrl-
ton Street Mission House with tear wet
eyes and quivering lips to tell Miss case
her teacher" that she couldn't go
MY mamma says got 20 work, was the
reason she sobbed out.
Angela is nine. but looks not more than

not nrovau ,Ipon the mother 20 alter her

Miss Case made her call at about :
o'clock IN the afternoon When she reached
the fourth floor Of the Sullivan street tene-
ment house where the family lives she
found the mother and Eve OF the elsht
children. Angela among them. seated
around ? table hard az work maNns

The Youngest worker IN the group was
girl Of three years. who sat beside great
box Of artificial petals and patiently
separated handful after handful OF them

children were all between Angela and the
baby"
To the urgent and repeated request that
Angela be permitted to seize the oppor-

stolidlv made one reply:
We have TO eat
Finally. seeing that she was making no
impression. Miss Case departed. convinced
that the little flower maker would have 10

face all a-ripple with smiles. And go she
did
on the way TO the railroad station Miss
Case inquired how she had succeeded IN
getting her mothers consent
"Oh. l worked every night till twelve
o'clock and earned 80 cents every night so

reply.
According 10 the statement OF Miss Oase'
Angela and her brothers and sisters ana
scores Of others whom she sends away FOR
Fresh Air trips through the Tribune Fresh
Air Fund. spend a great share OF their
time IN SUCH work as this. During tho part
Of the year when attendance at school Is
compulsory. they work after school hours
all day Saturday and Sunday. Through the
summer almost the entire time is spent in
this way.
AS result the children are pale and
an+mic. are dull at school and seldom at
tain fun growth Hundreds Of such chill
dren in various parts OF the city are wait
ing for the coming Of what is for them the
one bright spot in the summer-a Tribune
Fresh Air vacation.
