Where are you or 10 to-day for your
week end?
Berkshires, Ell? Going to stop at the
Aspinwall, over at Lenox?
II you do, after breakfast tomorrow
morning VIXEN you go out on the
piazza take your binoculars with you
and take look away across the lake
they call it the bowl up there, you
know and -
What will you see? Why, you'll see
that the Fresh Airs" have beaten you
TO il. That's them" swimmin' on the
| beach over there. st. Helen's Home is
just back of that piece of woodland be-
hind the swarm of children.
And you, there, whittier away for
your outing?
/ Up along the Delaware. Water Gap
Oh, farther up to Lake Oquaga.
Well, you, too; you've been beaten to
it, just like the Berkshire fellow.
Wander down along the river bank
tomorrow morning a little way and
you'll come across 'em-"Fresh Airs"
by hundreds padding or bathing in
the waters that seek the sea by way Of
/ Philadelphia.
You're going to the Thousand ISL
ands, Mr.. Third Fellow?
So. Think you'll lose EN- there, do
you? Pshaw, you're nigh on TO week
late. Four hundred Fresh Airs went
up that way last Sunday and Monday.
Fresh Airs" you know, don't go to
such like places for mere week ends;
they go for week beginning, middle
ends-two at a stretch.
Up there in the Thousand Island re-
gion you'll stumble over them at every
turn-Sackett's Harbor, Grindstone ISL
and, Alexandra Bay any old place.
Sure, you may try the Jersey coast
resorts if you want TO, but you Will
find Yourself still beaten. There are
a hundred girls down near Atlantic
Highlands using up fresh air as fast
as they can, just as though they
thought the supply wouldn't last long
And it isn't strange that they should
either, for the supply won't last for
them beyond the fortnight which be
| gan on Thursday.
After that they will breathe-per-
forehead air for fifty weeks, until
the summer of 1916 heaves in sight.
An yo' all, is yo' gwine out to ppm
Rock?
Then jes, cast yo' eye over to'ard
Wesb'ry. Yo' al's slow. There's
thirty.fve Fresh Air pickanninies been
there mos two weeks now, an comm
home Wednesda' 70 to make room 70
thirty-fve mo-. Yo' all CANT git head
them Fresh Airs
All, you've a l6-footer out on Hunt
ington Bay, and that's where your oag
is checked for, Ell?
Well, so be it, but if fog comes up
and YOU lose your bearing just listen
hard aad you'll be glad 70 hear them
the Fresh Airs" of North Shore Holi-
| day House, singing the JOY song OF 'Hg
cool country. Follow the sound anG
you'll bring your bark-if one may cal
a 16-footer that-safe to land.
That's the way it is, Mr.. Week End
or. you'll find them there before you
wherever you may elect to go within
$50 miles Of the big city. You won
be able TO avoid them, and, Of course
YOU won't want to, for who would ayoiC
the sight or sound of a crowd of happy
bows and girls set free from the re
straints of tenement life for vaca
tion in the country? Not you.
Wasn't last night night TO be re
leased from the tenements, too. Whew'
Think what it must have been.
And the pity of it. Thousands o.
boys and girls wellnigh gasplng 10
breath in tenements, when you, Mr.
Week Ender, could open the door u
the country for them if you and you
brother and sister week enders wouIc
only give s. apiece TO he p long TN
work of the Tribune Fresh Air Fund
Do it to-day, this hot day, before
