than that and oven Beet Sugar sur

portunities come so seldom that patients
all agree that the first places should he
given TO the little ones. The happy good
byes which are waved by the stay-at-
homes to the children who start off for a
trip is expressive OF their true affection
for the little girls and boys whose re-
stricted lives cause them to look upon the
outside world as a huge wonder box.
Until two years ago some OF the pa
tients had never seen many of the public
buildings the speedway or the Zoo. but a
single trip amid these new sights not only
stimulated their own interest I'm life but
afforded pleasure to their fellow patients
TO whom they recounted their pleasant ex-
periences. Some OF the small boys who
have been guests in these autos have re-
turned to the home so fascinated ny the
mechanism of the cars and so filled with
knowledge regarding the running OF an
auto that pioneer chauffeurs might be
surprised at their requirements.

a generous Washingtonian who left the
city early I'm the season for her own holi-
day. Through her thoughtfulness the pa.
tients are still enjoying occasional ice
cream treats and the pleasure OF hearing
band concerts by the Marine. Engineer

Since this last innovation one OF the
small boys has procured a drum. with
which he regales himself as one-man
band. At first Jimmy" wanted the mu-
steal instrument. but as the little boy has
at last persuaded the adult patients to
tell Jimmy thar she makes a better
band leader than a drummer, the little
girl is at present content with an inn

this time of year every child of school
age becomes zeal gardner or farmer.
for the many little plots must be tended
in order that the flowers and vegetables
may flourish and present a good show
ing when the school garden prizes are
awarded in the fall.
=
In the past the labors of these young
farmers have been productive of such
good results that this year every effort
is being exerted to Guido former fall ex-
hibits. Vacation classes in forging, sew
ing and cooking provide something to do
to many whose restless energies demand
employment
The one holiday pleasure which exc
ceeds all others in popularity both with
the girls and boys OF this government
school is swimming in the large pool,
where the girls may splash every after
noon and the boys may exhibit their
swimming skill every evening. All OF
the 40 lads and lassies who are old
enough spend many delightful hours
throughout their vacation in preparation
for the fall swimming contests when
medals are awarded.
In the evenings there is still much
pleasure for the pupils Of this school who
continue to find happiness in enacting the
woodland festival given in the spring. for
the stories of the old Greek heroes never
lose their attraction to these young
folks. The grassy stage and ieafy trees
will fade with the passing of vacation
and so the Industrial Home School BOYS
are making the best of their belief that
summers the time for fun
A trip from Anacostia to Colonial Beach
is a very long one for the little folks of
the Episcopal Home for Children when
they go down to the Bell Home every
summer. The very thought of a long
journey on boat is exciting to the girls
and boys who wait for Mrs. w. G. Daven
port to say that everything is ready and
the time has come to start for the beach.
For weeks before this event the little girls
who have saved coppers and nickels in

NAL Beach. Every resort on the shore is
interesting to the young folks who are
on the alert that they miss nothing as
they journey down the Potomac.
At the Bell Home the children enjoy
boating, bathing. swimming or grabbing.
Those who prefer seesaws, swings or
croquet are also accommodated. for equip
ment for these games is found on their
Fairgrounds. AS the older children are
taught to take care of themselves and the
younger members of the house party at
this summer home and the caretakers
exercise watchful vigilance. but few
accidents happen as incident to these good
times Of childhood.
If play and happiness were the only
benefit which the children derive from the
Bell Home Mrs. Davenport would feel
repaid for the yearly excursion which
the children make to this summer home.
but since the health of the little ones is SO
benefited that few winter illnesses fol-
low the vacation the expense and trouble
of the holiday at Bell Home are regarded
as an investment paying generous divi-

marily for the purpose OF giving quiet
recreation to those who lead busy lives.
The large old homestead on the corner
of 3sd and streets. which in former
times was the scene Of many social func-
tions, now houses family of over hun
bred rollicking children. Mrs. Fleck, who
watches over these happy little ones at
the Bruen Home, is as happy as her
charges when an invitation comes from
some church organization requesting
the presence of these children at an an
nual picnic or excursion. This year these
little ones have already been the guests
at one or two such occasions, but as there
many more weeks of warm weather
they are hoping other invitations will
reach the home.
Occasionally some child from this home
is invited as house guest for few
weeks at a private home In the suburbs
or country and then there is the true hap
piness of going away on a real vacation
for that little one, but this year such OPP
portunities have been few. Just because
the children at Bruen Home have no hoi-
day house they are not allowing the sum-
mer to pass without enjoying the many
pleasures of the season.
The boys who have looked forward all
winter to the barefoot months and swim
ming ponds are now realizing their fond
est anticipations by frequent trips to the

City from which they get as much salts

The little girls, who love their open
air frolics. go to the public Fairgrounds
every day to swing on rings. make real
mudpies or learn new games. The very
little tots and those who do not care to
leave their home take advantage Of their
own Fairgrounds. where there are swings
and a sliding board to call the children
into the fresh air every clear morning.
