protected passengers from cars coming
on the other track. A lady-a Boston
lady--came to the door OF the car, and
as Il stopped. started to move toward the
gate, which was hidden from her by the
men standing before her
"Other side, please. lady" said the con-
ductor. lie was ignored as only a born
and bred Bostonlan can ignore man
The lady took another step toward the
gate.

IMPORTANT MEETING in
INTEREST OF FRESH AIR WORK.

Among the many forms of benevolent
work carried on in this vicinity none ap-
peals more strongly to humanitarians
than the fresh air work and as the sum
mer advancesAbringing with II the GER
talnty OF sultry days and nights--it is
gratifying to realize that much is being
done to bring rest and comfort into the
lives OF many, who but for the fresh AIR
work would never know the meaning OF
rest and recreation or the delights OF
country or seashore In midsummer. The
history of this form OF work in this city
and state is not extensive.
1t may be said TO have started several
years ago with the establishments of the
seaside cottages at Conanicut park, by
the Young women's Christian association
and Rest cottage al Saundertown by the
Young Womens Christian temperance
union. During the summer Rest cottage
is filled with working girls who pay $3.50
per week for board. Last summer many
applications were refused, as the cottage
was not large enough 20 accommodate all
who came. The managers are hoping ere
long. however. TO enlarge their work by
having another cottage built and thus, py
increasing the number of boarders, place
the cottage on self-supporting basis.
The seaside cottages are open during JuIy
and August and accommodate so or more
at from So 10 $3.50 per week.
Growing out OF the work of the two So
cietes Is a broader form of vacation work,
that is afforded to children and over
worked working women without money
and without price"
The Fresh Air cottage OF the Kings
Daughters OF Rhode Island Is conspicuous
for this benehclent work.
The work was begun last year and met
with such success that they have taken
a larger house where 20 at time can be
accommodated.
The cottage Is supported by the cir
cles of Kings Daughters. and opened on

men and children was taken down. One

lived for Is years I'm the city and worked
In mill and had never been down the
bay before.
This work is carried on solely fer those
VINO cannot pay board and are given q
two-weeks' rest at the cottage.
Still another beautiful form OF fresh air
work ia carried on at the Vacation House
of Grace church, situated In the midst
of a picturesque country I'm Beliingham,
Mass This house Is called the Pinewood
farm. and Is an estate OF about 20 acres
including meadowland and woodland.
The felds afford ample opportunity tor

groves and trees in abundance.
The house is under the care OF the stan
Of Grace church, with Miss Tillinghast,
the parish visitor. In charge.
This, like the cottage at Buttonwoods,
is for those who cannot pay board, and
n large number Of women and children will
find rest and happiness there this summer.
Still another form of fresh air work
gun this summer Is that established by
the Rhode Island Girls Friendly sociesy
at Plum Beach, Saunderstown, X. l., ara
known az the Holiday House.
The house is an old homestead. which
has been entirely metamorphosed with
