OVER In lrvlngton you have doubtless
een many things. You have admired
tho shaded streets with boulevard trees
almost meeting overhead, the blocks of
parlous homes arguing for comfort as
well as taste, lawns with a nap like mil
liner's velvet, well-kept vines and flowers
growing apace, the tennis courts and
artistic clubhouse, and various other at
tractions patent to the Interested observer.
Tliere Is one more, however, whose glo
ries you have not tasted. But that Is be
cause your family KiMe oears record that
you are no longer a child and hence have
been, more or less lightly, banished from
the Kingdom of Flay.
This is the yard of William F.
Woodward, which lrvlngton children will
tell you Is the most fascinating place In
the cltv. A certain "hatch-1 of them has
rollicked here all Summer with truly
Kooseveltian strenuousness. and clearly
nothing short of Wtnter's persuasive
downpour will Induce them to abandon
Its charms.
nd can you blame them? Here they
find all that appeals to their Joyous ac
tivity. Mr. Woodward's one aim has been
to please the children, and to this end
he has spared neither pains nor expense,
and just how well he has succeeded only
the popularity of this unique playground
can testify.
It is a veritable out-of-door gymnasium,
with such alluring side-attractions as only
nature can give. Utile swings, big
swings, a wooden swing with easy seats,
an inviting hammock under a clump of
willows, a huge "teeter-totter" board,
trapese rings, turning bars, a sand-pile,
playhouse, and most alluring of all a
really-truly "shoot-the-chutes" such as
no other yard can boast. To all these
add the tempting surroundings of an ideal
setting of shade trees, lawn and flowers,
and an occasional fruit tree. Could a
child-heart ask more?
There may be more: I do not know.
Were I a child. I should probably find
numerous other delights, unrevcaled to us
"grown-ups." Apropos of this. I know
that little Mary Woodward true to her
name once had a woolly lamb that gam
boled and frisked on the green, and so
doubtless there have been and are other
Joys known only to the elect.
The happy shouts and screams of
laughter from the "shoot-the-chutes"

go any way head first, feet first, on
their backs or stomachs, doubled up or

but the rule Is strictly one at a time

practically any number.
The turning bar tempted me also, but I
refrained. This Is arranged for two pos
sible heights on the poles six feet for
big people and three and one-half for the
children. For their convenience and to
avoid tumbles It is usually kept at the
latter height.
There Is a large sleeping-tent also in
the yard, and its guy-ropes have been

so long established by the women of the
mission.
The society haa decided upon inaugur

Columbia, and has selected, owing to his
aptitude and special knowledge. Rev. A.
B. Bernays for that important work.
Tuesday evening's meeting, therefore, co
incided not only with the tenth anni
versary of the mission but partook of the
nature of a farewell demonstration in
honor of the popular Portland chaplain.
The chair was taken by Mr. W. J.
Burns, who. In his usual concise manner,
reiterated the interest he took In the mis
sion and his good wishes for Its success,
letters and telegrams expressing regrets
for absence were read from the Governor,
the Mayor, Bishop Scadding. Consul Ced

Foulkes and others: and it was also a
matter of disappointment that an en

more eloquent than his words was the as
surance he gave of a very handsome do

Steamship Company.

ciety. R. W. Hastings, contrived to In
ject a touch of romance into the prosaic
details of a financial statement, and
showed there was quite a little balance
stowed away in the stocking of the Insti
tute. He also threw some light on the
genesis of a certain new and beautiful pi
ano which adorned the platform for the
first time and about which there hung
considerable mystery. It would seem that
a few of the women had come together
and with srjerecy had managed to raise
sufficient money to secure the instrument
in question. Whether there was something
more than a- mystery attactied to tne
piano, the treasurer did not state, but
there it was.

pain and horror of child

of Mother's Friend during pregnancy robs confinement of all pain

scientific liniment is a God-send to all women at the time of their most
