I, too believe in g1ving cnll@reil !" the key of the fields during their vacation. in turning them loose in meadows and woods and permitting them to get all that nature can do for them. I fol- lowed this plan with my own children and I have seen 1t successfully pursued with later generations of boys and girls. At the same time, I have never found that the obligations of common decency are any embargo upon the benefit they derive from country freedom. Rags and health. dirt and wholesomeness are not of necessity inseparable.
 I am as far as any one from holding that children should be. in modern phrase. dolled up when they are sent out to play In the fields and forests. Plain short frocks and bloomers for the girls. khaki trousers and flannel shirts for the boys, heavy stockings and stout shoes, clothing of every kind which cannot be injured by rough usage should be provided by the parents for the holiday period. But certain respect for established usage I insist upon, the garments shall be clean at least once a day and must be mendei when torn; the children shall have their baths regularly and present themselves at the table in fit condition to associate with other civilized folk.
 saw Mamie J. number of times dur Ing my visit, and always she had the same deplorable appearance. Once or twice she stayed to a meal and came to the table ragged, dirty, and unkempt. Was she any happier for her untidtness? Would it have impaired her holiday en- joyment if she had been washed and mended little? don't believe so.
 I have dealt with man ana child thus far as representatives of those who fail to keep up to the mark. Are the wom- en of the household guiltless in this re- spect?
 I am afraid not; I have seen too many .housekeepers who seemed to think ho. weather an excuse for any sort of per sonal untidlness. I have known them to go about In crimping pins or kid l" curl era " all day, excusing themselves with the plea that the precipitation would take out all the wave If they released their locks from bondage.
