Miss Blossom, btt not having known
her long enough to be familiar with
her Christian name he addresses his
opportunities to Miss Dolly Blossom
And so the elder Miss Blossom re-

tears OF gratitude running down hel

The Tribune FreshAuFund

The Tribune Fresh Air Fund lost one
of its best friends yesterday by the
death Of Andrew Carnegie. lie had
been for many years one of the most
generous supporters of the funds work
for the children Of the tcnements.
AS early as 1907 Mr.. Carnegie became
interested in the Fresh Air campaign
and from that time forward he annually
contributed 1000 toward the expenses
of the work. Until the war broke out
and the expenses Of providing outings
increased rapidly these donations
brought vacations to as many as two
Probably 5000 children, all told, owe
country fortnights provided during the
last twelve years to this most generous
Of American philanthropists.
But Mr.. Carnegie's interest in the
little Fresh Airs" whom he helped to
the joys of the country did not end with
his contributions toward expenses
He found and improved an opportunity
to get in personal touch with some of
them.
When, after the outbreak Of the war,
he gave up his custom of spending his
summers in Scotland and purchased
Shadow Lawn, his estate at Lenox,

Tribune Fund boys and girls are given
outings each summer season
AS soon as he had discovered his
nelghbors he inauguratcd the custom of
entertaining a group of them annually
at lawn fetc. Only a few days before
his death the 100 boys and girls now
at st. Helen's spent an afternoon as
his guests. Writing Of the experience
one of the leaders at the homo says;
"The children were royalty enter
tanned by Mr.. and Mrs. Carnegie at
Shadow Lawn. They were, of course,
a bit awcd by their unaccustomctl ID
surroundings and were so we'll behaved
that Mrs. Carnegie thought they
weren't having good time because
they didn't make noise enough"
But they did have good time A
better picture of the occasion was
given in letter which girl wrote
home to her mother. This is her
description:
"Dear Mother:

Brahms symphony would have been OBJ

rehearsal. But his intentions were
evident, and they were admirable The
poetry Wlthln nm was expressed in
Debussy's music, while Wagncr's over

for the display Of emotional intensity
and his pronounced skill in the build

he IS a master of men.
