Hopes for Reconciliation, She
Says, on Arriving Home
in Philadelphia.

| PHILADELPHIA, August 1O.-Mrs.
| Daisy Opie Grace. recently acquitted in
Atlanta on a charge of having shot her
husband. arrived here yesterday from
Savannah on the steamship Frederick.
Almost a hundred of her friends were
| at the dock to greet her, but she hur-
ried away from the demonstrative crowd
| with her mother and was driven to the
latter's home at No. 900 South Goth street.
The reason for Mrs. Grace hurrying
away from her friends downtown was
| that she know her little blind son. Web
ster Opie. was awaiting her arrival at
his grandmother's home. The nine-year-
old boy, with his faithful dog, was sit
ting on the steps of the porch. He had
been there from early morning that he
might quicker sense the coming of his
mother.
Joyful yelps by the dog brought the
sightless child to his feet, with his hands
outstretched. In another moment he was
in his mothers arms.
Boy Knows Nothing of Trial.
The boy had been told that his mother
probably would return last Thursday
night. In consequence he spent an almost
sleepless night. waking up every now and
then to make inquiry whether his mother
had yet arrived. At 5 o'clock yesterday
morning he insisted that his nurse dress
him, and he stationed himself on the
front porch. He never left his post until
his mother picked him up in her arms.
Mrs. Grace has contided to friends that
she is again to become a mother. She

Think Dorsey Made Error.
ATLANTA, August 1O.-The statement
by Solicitor General Dorsey, who prose-
cuted Mrs. Grace, that he heard the shot
which he believes was the one that laid
low the husband, caused great surprise
in Atlanta, and may have decided in
fluence in the race he is making for re-
election to the Office to which he was
appointed by Gov. Brown.
His opponents are of the opinion that
his admission will prove detrimental to
his candidacy. They hold he should have
gone on the stand and have allowed some
al 70 no To- ov q NJ
cutor. They admit of no ethical reason
which would bar him from the stand.
His friends are Of the opinion that the
course pursued by Mr.. Dorsey was the
wisest and the only one under the cir
cumstances: that as he was the prose-
cutor and had worked up the case. and
was familiar with 1t, that 1t was up to
him to carry 1t to its conclusion.

CAMP LIFE.
FROM PLAYGROUND TO CAMPFIRE.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

There is a growing interest throughout
the country in what is sometimes spoken
of as the recreation movement. 1t Is
recognized that some forms of recreation
are essential for the public welfare ana
there are many who believe that provi-
sion for the recreation Of its citizens has
become a public duty. The first recogni-
ton of this duty was the assumption Of
responsibility for the public playground
which has now become so generally &C
copied in progressive cities. This is now
largely provided for by public funds. al
though originally started by private
philanthropy. The advantage of the play
ground in promoting the health and well
fare of the children has become salts
factorily established.
The same influences that were respon-
ground are working toward the extension
of the benefits it initiates. The play
grounds are good as far as they go, but
they fall far short of the need. In some
cities they are open but a few hours a
day. Often they are too small and too
shut in by buildings to give the freedom
and fresh air which is so essential to
healthful recreation. Consequently the
establishment of summer camps where
the children could go for whole days
mand to supplement the work Of the
playground and there are few large cities
where some such provision is not either
already in working order at least I'M
der consideration. The responsibility for
them Is divided. Sometimes they are I'M
der the auspices of the Associated Chari-
ties. but this is not wholly satisfactory
because then they fail to benefit the large
class of children which really need them
and are yet not in position to accept
charity.
For these non-charity children camps
have been opened. often under the au-
spices of woman's club, within reach Of
the city for a single car fare. The par
ents may furnish the carfare and perhaps
provide the lunch. secure in the fact that
the child will enjoy a few hours in the
open country under proper protection, for
OF course. no camp could be sustained
without certain supervision. For the chill
dren who cannot provide either the car
fare or the lunch excellent provision has
been made in the establishment Of camps
where both are furnished. The days
outing may be extended to week or
more and the benefit in health and spirit
accruing to child from a week in one
Of these camps will sometimes go far to
compensate him for the comforts he may
lack during the rest Of the year.

the children. There was a. vegetable
plot in which some Of the families raised
part of the vegetables. There was plenty
OF activity for the people who remained
there all day and it was a restful para
disc to the tired men and women who
came out on the cars every evening at the
end OF their days work.
Between thirty and forty people enjoy
ed this country life one summer, and be-
cause their city homes were often re-
stricted to one small room they had nc
fault to find with the simplicity Of the
arrangements. To a certain extent each
FAMILY provided its own food. usually
eating 1t out in the tents or under the
trees, although in rainy weather a large

dining room. While this enterprise was

increasing numbers Of people who are
discovering that the camp possesses many
advantages over the crowded summer
resort and are making their plans ac-
cordingly. The camp may be as simple
or as luxurious as Its occupants wish.
There are. high-priced tents with every
convenience, from the folding bathtub
to the hardwood floor, which Is shipped
in sections and slipped under the tent
after 1t is set up. There are also port
able bungalows which can be set up with
little trouble and shipped wherever de-
sired. For the camp de luxe the modern
portable bungalow no doubt possesses
advantages over the regular tent, but to
many people 1t does not represent true
camp life. Perhaps the greatest pleasure
is found in the old-fashioned tent. often
