Vacation for a City Child

"I wish to give to some little white child, either boy or girl, between the ages of 1 month and years whe needs 1t, vacation in the country, where it can have plenty of fresh air and whole some food. Perhaps you know of little fellow whose parents are not able to give it, or it may be that there is such a child in an orphans home, sick, who needs a change, or baby whose mother has to work and who would like to place 1t in my care for the summer. AS I have a little fellow of my own, cannot take any one suffering from any contagious dis ease. But any child who is languid and pale from city life and heat and dust will find cool. restful home here with friends. l am anxious to help some working mother during the hot months and help some little fellow to grow into stronger manhood MRS R. L."
 A noble. womanly letter that ought to bring cheer to some lowly home. Appli- cation for her address must be made speedily, as there will probably be many who will hasten to secure the promised good for city child.
