The committee at Ilwaco which en tertained this party Is almost as re gretful over parting; with their little guests as the children are loath to leave them. L. D. William, chairman of the committee, says in a letter to Secre tary Manning, of the Associated Chari ties, that, if possible, arrangements will be made to entertain another party later In the season. Today also will be a day of antici pation for two score other children, as it is a day of much regret for those who must return to the city, for the Associated Charities clothing commit tee this afternoon will outfit the next party, which will leave as soon as pos sible next week. Ontlnsr CItr la Wanted. The destination of the next party has not been settled yet, owing to delay In making arrangements to take care of it with the women's clubs in other towns. Silverton already has one party and Is preparing to take another In August. It was hoped that arrangements could be made to send the party next week to Pallas, but information has been received that the women's club In that city has not been able yet to arrange for places for the little visitors. Edward Wortman yesterday after noon entertained four mothers and seven "Fresh Air" children with a rao torboat ride on the river, in charge of Mrs. C. N. McArthur. A matinee this afternoon at the Empress Theater for the children who were on the O.-W. R. & N. excursion Monday Is being arranged by Manager Pierong. Applications for places on the "Fresh Air" parties and contributions are be ing received more rapidly than ar rangements for places in the country can be completed. Especially touch ing are the pleas of tired working mothers, who come to the office ask ing if they cannot be sent on a va cation for a little rest. They do not ask for two weeks or 10 days, but for any time that can be given them, even two or three days. Fresh Air" Boy Repentant. "Joe." one of the boys In the country Bow. barelv escaped trouble with the Juvenile Court, but his difficulty was smoothed over by the Intervention of the Associated Charities. Miss Haxel Iolph. who was active In the "Fresh Air" work last year and who has many loyal admirers among the children, found a note from "Joe," after he had left. "I stole a bicycle." It said. "I am sorry. I'm going to tho detention home." Inquiry disclosed that "Joe" stole a bicycle early In the year, so eager was he "to get into the country. He was arrested and In the Juvenile Court was fined $3.50. which had not been paid when he left The fine was paid at once and "Joe" will not be called back from his outing. Country People Drat Realise. "If the people on the farms and in the open country could only see the wistful eagerness with which poor mothers and children come to the As sociated Charities day after day. ask ing us If we have found a place for them." says Mr. Manning, "'there would be places not only for 200 or 100. but for 1000. "The poor of a great city are no different from other people. They are mostly good, respectable and honest people, but temporarily are placed In unfortunate conditions. After all. they are just folks' and the hearts of ev erybody would go out to them more if they could see the hunger for the open country in their eyes aa they come to us. over and over again, asking for a chance to get out where there Is green grass and where they can rest a bit."
