4 NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
SOCIETY NOTES 
A “Rummage Sale’’ will be held in Copley Hall 
Thursday, October 24, in aid of the Massachusetts 
Babies’ Hospital. The hospital’s work is extensive in 
that it does not merely treat babies for sickness but 
takes care of large numbers of babies each year, whose 
parents through sickness or any other of the number- 
less misfortunes of the poor are unable to give them 
proper care. These babies are placed in supervised 
country homes where they are visited regularly by the 
trained nurses connected with the hospital. Other im- 
portant features of the institution’s work are the train- 
ing of nursemaids, the outpatient department started 
last year, the laboratory research cn infant feeding and 
digestional diseases of infants, the directory of wet 
nurses from which they may be obtained for outside 
eases by doctors in any of the emergencies which occur 
so frequently during the lives of babies. In spite of the 
far reaching benefits of this hospital it has become so 
hard to raise money that unless $5,000 can be raised be- 
fore the first of November the work of the institution 
must be cut in halves or possibly stopped altogether. 
The experiment of the rummage sale, such as are held 
in country towns for the local churches, will dffer in 
that not only Boston residents but people all over the 
state are requested to contribute. Articles ranging 
from automobiles, horses, pianos to fancy work, fruit 
and candy will be on sale, the larger things to be dis- 
posed of by auction. Among the directors and patron- 
esses are women who are prominent among the summer 
residents of the North Shore. Mrs. R. L. Agassiz of 
Hamilton, is one of the directors. Mrs. Philip Sears 
of Pride’s Crossing and Mrs. Robert Walcott of Marble- 
head are on the ladies’ committee and among the pat- 
ronesses are Mrs. Oliver Ames of Pride’s Crossing, Mrs. 
C. W. Amory of Magnolia, Mrs. Boylston Beal of Man- 
chester, Mrs. Edward 8S. Grew of Manchester, Mrs. 
Gardiner G. Hammond of Nahant, Mrs. Francis L. Hig- 
ginson of Pride’s Crossing, Mrs. James J. Storrow of 
Marblehead, and Mrs. John L. Thorndike of Manchester. 
Miss Elizabeth Sohier of the Beverly summer col-
