Country Home had the time of their
lives yesterday as guests of Assistant

braces and other physical handicaps
and entirely obliyious of the hot
weather, the Boys and girls were taken
on q four.hour cruise down the Poto-
mac toward Mount Vernon and served,
incidentally, some typically Childish
refreshments in the way of cold drinks
and ice cream.
For most OF them 1t was their very
first venture upon the rolling waves
and the EXPLANATIONS of delight that
marked the trip from beginning TO
end gave JOY to the grown-ups who
acted as hosts and attendants. The
chief host. of course, was Assistant
Secretary Robinson himself. and he
spent most of his time chatting with
his young guests as they sat upon
his knee or lined the rail.

arrangements for the trip and pro

to the yacht.
A group of student nurses from the
hospital assisted the crippled, lame
or indisposed patients to and from
the dock. Several of the youngsters
had to be carried from their beds
to the bus and again to the ship
After taking in all the points of
interest between Washington and
Mount Vernon the Sylph swung round
and headed back for the navy yard,
docking at $50 o'clock.
