Bowman aye — NK + Days at Our Farm (Continued from page 212.) There is no attempt at severe discipline, A few simple rules are laid down which must be obcyed, but as long as they stay on the reservation they can do about what they please. The daily bath is the one big feature ef every clear day. First the boys are given an hour in the stream at the foot of the ‘hill, and then the rolling of the drum recalls them, and the girls are given a chance. For the rest of the time they play all kinds of games, and the Farm is so large that it is only when they assemble in a body that their num- her is appreciated. The most amazing feature of the entire establishment is the utter absence of sickness or of an accident more serious than a bruised finger or a stubbed toe. Among the thousands of children whé have been harbored since the Farm was established, there has not been a death, a serious illness or a broken bone. When it is known that the vast majority are taken from families where sickness pre- vails, or where some have just been discharged from hospitals, this is almost beyond belief. Visitors are welcome, and last Sunday one of them presented a flag and asked the children to give some sort of a history of our na tional emblem. The fund of infor- mation that burst forth was a sur- prise and a delight to the donor. Anybody who wants to see a prac- tical charity practically conducted should happen into Lire’s Farm some Sunday afternoon about three o'clock and enjoy that entertainment. The Perils of Ocean Travel A GREAT many people who use ocean steamships as a means of conveyance across the ocean will be interested to learn, according to a fashion writer in Vogue, that: “To appear on deck at eleven o'clock save in a short skirt, a sweater or a short, loose coat and a jaunty black hat with a quill stuck through at any angle there is, so it is not straight, is a conspicuous error. No less unpardonable is it to appear at dinner in anything save a high, close, waved coiffure or a smart, somewhat claborate hat and in a low-necked dress and French heels. The importance of shipboard hats is not to be minimized. Compared with this dictum, how un- important seem the regulation of rail- road rates, the adjournments and convenings of Congress, peace, war, character, lionesty, conservation, births, deaths, marriages and other minor matters!
