This is all virgin territory for
Tribune Fresh Airs" 1t may be all
the more pleasant for them on that
account. A suggestion as to the spirit
of their prospective hosts and the kind

THESE families all happen to be
members of the Episcopal Church, but
1T will make no difference to ..ny of
them OF what creed the children NAV
be--Jew or Gentle. They would like
white children, or at least children
that will turn white upon the proper
application of soap and water.
Plenty of Time for Play
This is q country place and hope
the hostesses of these children will let
them dig worms, roll on the grass, pick
flowers and get generally mussed up,
at least for good portion of each day.
Then they can be bathed and be
mlserable--so they may look sweet and
pretty from just before supper until
bed time.
"All right. Let me know when to
meet our guests. Look for an Episco-
pal clergyman with black hair and no
hat at the station-thats me.
"W. A. WOODFORD."

This part of Vermont, too, is new
Fresh Air territory, but the number
OF invitations coming in from the re-

has made arrangements for this CROWD
of youngsters, is one of The Funds
oldest cooperators.

these to the number Of children sent
