La tisis deleterea sembr6 en- su carne rosa
Los germenes que chupan la esencia de La vida,
Y la nina, que es buena, lora como perdida
La segura prOmesa de haber sido una rosa. .
Cansada va del 'tedio sepuIcral de la casa,
Por ell parque pasea el rigor de su pena;
Mas, ell clavel y Ell nardo y la pulcra azucena,
Para ella solo eyocan la tragedia que pasa.
La histerica enfermita, que sueha tener alas,
Quiere ensayar sus yuelos oyendo las escalas
Melicas que desgrana, sonOro, un ruisehor;
Los rubies del esputo empurpuran su veste;
con los ojos fiios en- la region celeste,
Est0icamente aguarda el fin de su dolor.

The Tribune Fresh Air Fund
Girls Vacation That Lasted a Year

Helen Roy-call her that-went last
summer to a farm near Owego, n Y,
for her fresh air vacation, one of the
more than one hundred boys and girls
to whom the Owego Fresh Air Com
mittee played host. She liked the place
and her hostess liked her, so they fixed
1t up between them that she should not
return at the end of two weeks, but
remain for the rest of the summer.
During the six weeks which elapsed
between her arrival and the date for
the opening of the New York schools,
when Helen was to come. home, the
hostess learned good deal about
Helen's home life. Her mother was
dead. The rest of the family consisted
Of the father, laborer; grown broth
or and two grown-up sisters. all of
whom we're employed during the day.
The girl was one of those many, many
children Of New York who have to
shift for themselves each day without
adult supervision from morning factory
whistle until night.
She could 60 to school if she liked
or llnger about the streets if she pre-
ferred-no one need be the wiser. After
school hours she could rove the streets
at will. Saturdays there was no school.
AS September approached a split took
place in such a home a : she had. The
groWn-up sisters couldn't stand condi-
tons as they existed and left the rest
OF the family. Tha, left Helen home
and prospect of life entirely lacking
IN feminine influence. She was eleven
years old
The motherly hostess thought it a
bad outlook for Helen. The sisters
agreed. Helen didn't like it herself.
Inc hostess worried over the matter
She would have liked to keep Helm
with her. but she already had overtaxed
her pocketbook in providing for her for
SIX weeks.
Finally she asked if the family would
permit Helen to remain with her and
pay the bare cost Of maintaining the
child You will agree that there was
no thought Of profit in her mind when
You know that she estimated that cost
at 81 d week
But the father was unwilling. Helen
would be useful in a womaniess house,
hold. He wanted her home and
wouldn't pay the IS week At this
point worker from the settlement
which had recommended Helen to The
Tribune Fund took hand She knew
what the girl would have to face if
brought back to New York under the
eXisting conditions The sisters knew
what was GOOD for the youngster and
needed no persuadinr The brother
was more difficult, but finally Joined
IN the effort to bring the father round
Finally the father agreed that Helen
might stay, but he wouldn't say that
