By MRS. HENRY SIMPSON.

The various good works Of the
Christ Child Society for the bene-
fit of the poor children of Wash
ington and the District are so well
known that here I speak only of Its
fresh air work. / do not call II
summer outings, for during the
whole wear it places children in the
country for periods varying &C
cording to the necessity of the case.
OF course, the principle aim of the
fresh air work is to provide sum-
mer outings for children whose
health and home conditions make
change imperative, and particularly
for older children who, worn out oy
duties beyond their years ana
and strength, and whose age e&-
ciudes them from other free vaca-
tons. also for delicate and crippled
children who need special care.
Visiting Committee.
The streets of Washington in sum-
mer TO a casual observer look very
cool and comfortable, but there are
many alleys and slums where these
do not penetrate, and from them the
CHOOSC lAlC N-~@A

the coveted vacation. The visiting
committee, composed of twenty-four
ladies, each having a district to visit
and the privilege Of choosing chill
dren, the number varying accord
ing TO the size of the district. The
children are brought out by the Wis
itors in parties of twenty-four. the
first party coming about the flrst
Monday in July, to remain two
weeks. or as the necessity of the
case demands, four. six, and some
times eight weeks.
There is now at the home a
little girl six years old. She came
for two weeks, at the end Of that
time an utgent appeal came from
the visitor, "Can you keep c. out
all summer? The home has been
broken UP. Mother and baby taxi
en- &c an institution where there is
tember." OF course little c
was kept. And we are thankful
the Christ Child Society has a
home where the dear mite can be
cared for until She can join her
mother. This is but one of many
similar cases which come under
our notice every year.
Many Pleasures Provided.
The children are boarded at
small farm, where they have, / was
going to say. all the comforts Of
home but, alas. the majority have
no comforts Of home. The only
comfort they have during the year
is that which they have during the
time they are guests of the Christ

The committee on fresh air work
consists of a chairman, and the visi-

some members Of the society who
are especially interested in their

Children Appreciative.
Possible one or two little missives
sent by children to the president Of
the society would be interesting.

So these children write from the
