8 NORTH SHORE BREEZE and Reminder 
A Group Enjoying Basket-Making 
things are being created for a future sale and all are 
being made so cheerfully and contentedly by the little 
folk when they tire of other occupations. In the large 
room of this department is where the Sunday services 
are held. At one side is a little green-curtained alcove 
where the vested choir sits. The choir is composed mostly 
of girls. This is a sweet and simple service 
suitable for all nationalities and creeds. 
Last summer Rev. Neilson Poe Carey of 
Beverly Farms went over one Sunday 
afternoon and talked to the children. One 
little girl said, later: ‘We had real church 
today, didn’t we?” 
The Farwell Room has taken the place 
of very inadequate quarters for bedridden 
children and “heart” cases. This room 
has twenty-two beds and all are filled. The 
attractive feature of the room is the hard- 
wood finish in the dark English oak stain. 
A motto, “It is not life that matters, but 
the courage that you bring to it,” hangs on 
the wall, also a tablet stating that the room 
has been given in memory ‘of Marian Farwell. It was 
given by Reginald C. Foster of Marblehead Neck, one of 
the directors of the sanitarium, in memory of Miss Far- 
well, his fiancee, whose death occurred in 1915. Miss 
Hitchcock is in charge of this room. 
The morning dip is enjoyed by the children, the girls 
in charge of some of the volunteer workers and the boys 
with Miss Davis. The crippled children and others unfit 
to enter the surf are taken down to the beach with the 
others and have a regular bath in a somewhat different 
manner. This is done by the 
young workers bringing pails 
of water to them and giving 
them a thorough drenching. 
Poor little backs and joints 
are tenderly rubbed and pat- 
ted in this next-to-the-real- 
thing bath. The sun bath is a 
new feature this year that is 
bringing beneficial results to 
many of the children. 
The pleasant piazza for 
the older girls, the cots and 
swings near the Farwell build- 
ing, the cottages for the 
volunteer workers and the 
other buildings, such as laun- 
dry and cottage for the paid 
helpers, are all interesting 
parts of this unique place,

people is ably assisted by. the nine volunteer workers, 
who go for three or four weeks and give half a day daily, 
in the care and educational activities of the children. 
Many of the young girls from North Shore homes count 
it a great privilege to go as a volunteer and some have 
spent more than one summer on the island. The com- 
mittee, under the chairmanship of Mrs. 
Roger W. Cutler, is composed of the Misses 
Rosamond Bradley, Lucy W. Davis, Edith 
G. Fabens, F. M. Faulkner, Edith Fitz. and 
Mmes, A. G. Grant, Harry C. Low, William 
E. Russell, F. W. Sargent, Jr., Henry B. 
Sawyer and George S$. West. The officers 
include George 5. West, president ; Augus- 
tus Hemenway, Jr., treasurer; Alexander 
G. Grant, secretary 
The North Shore will be interested in 
the bridge tournament to be given on Fri- 
day, September Ist, at 3 o’clock at Mrs. 
Bradley’s, Pride’s Crossing, for the 
benefit of the Children’s Island Sanitarium. 
The committee is composed of Miss Brad- 
ley, Mrs. George Denny, Miss Fitz, Mrs. Marshall Fabyan 
and Miss Mary Franks. Mrs. Vickery will run the tourn- 
ament. Tables at $10 each may be engaged from Mrs. 
Marshall Fabyan, Beverly Farms. Owing to the number 
of tables being limited it would be wise to make applica- 
tion as soon as possible. 
Boats leave Tucker’s wharf, Marblehead, at 3 p. m. 
on Sundays for the choir service. Visitors are most 
welcome and will find this service both pathetic and 
interesting. Visitors are always welcome who may hap- 
pen to be near the island in 
their boats and wish to stop.

of small water colors painted 
by French artists and art 
students fighting in France 
will be held at the house of
