FRESH AIR COTTAGE IS
A CHILDRENS PARADISE.

Away down on the old Buttonwood
shore. where once the little Indian chill
dren played. in the long days of summer
and waxed sturdy and strong In the
bracing breezes of old Narragansett, the
Kings Daughters OF Rhode Island are
maintaining today a summer retreat for
little children where they breathe the
same atmosphere. enjoy the same sea
and tread the same sands as did the lit
tie aborigines OF the long ago.
This children's paradise, for such IL
seems 20 the many little children whose
glimpses OF country life and the sea
shore, are few and far between, Is
known as Fresh Air Cottage"
The work Is really the outgrowth of
much earnest thought and planning on
the part of the executive board of the
Kings Daughters Of the state OF which
Miss Margaret Todd Is chairman. Miss
Todd will be recalled by many, as the
sweet faced deaconess OF this city whose
kindly presence and gentle mnistrations
have lightened many a heart and carried
sunshine into hundreds of darkened
homes where poverty or distress shut out
the sunlight.
IL was Miss Todd, who when the MEM
bers OF the board discussed the plan OF
taking up some particular line OF chari-
table work. lifted up her voice I'm behalf
OF the children. She IL was who suggested
the maintenance OF a summer cottage by
the sea shore where the little ones might
revel in childish abandon.
IL Is Miss Todd. too. who presides over
the cottage on the Buttonwood shore and
cares for the little children gathered
there.
Forgetting her own need of rest after a
season of unremitting labor, she chose to
assume the care OF a household of ten
children from the ages OF 3 TO r.
The chance visitor at the cottage In
the early morning would find the house
hold astir and airs. Allen, the house
keeper, busily preparing nourishing
breakfast, for the children TO eat "as
ne'er they ate before" and six or seven
slices of bread at a meal is no uncom-
mon occurrence.
Ten little faces must be washed before
