Folks.

si5r one ur the fortunate holders of
tickets for the STARS second outing
was kept at home by the fine rain
which fell almost up to the minute Of
the boats departure. Their faith and
enthusiasm were rewarded when the
Newark cast off preparatory to start
Beach, as the drizzle stopped and the
sun broke through the clouds in a
business-like manner, which showed he
wanted to help in the battle for the
babies by staying out all day.
This is the L. Bamberger & Co. OUT
ing, made, possible by gift of s10o
from that firm, and is the second of the
Outings for sick babies and their tired
mothers which have been held this
year under the auspices of the STAR.
AS representative of L. Bamberger
6; Co., A. Schindel, of the purchasing
department of the store. was sent down
to make the trip on the Newark to
Rockaway.
Long before o'clock, the time set for
the departure of the boat from the
Commercial wharf of the Stephens &
Condit Transportation Company, al
most the entire boat load of babies and
children and mothers had assembled on
chances of being left behind when a
fine long trip to Rockaway and back
woman with baby in her arms and
four little ones tugging at her skirts,
was overheard to say:
IF this trip helps the baby as much
as I know it will help me we'll be
mighty lucky. She hasn't been well
since the hot weather began, and be-
fore school was out I was busy all
the time taking care of her, getting the
slher children dressed and cooking for
them. / was ready to, drop when school
lot out, and Just thinking about get

Several tiny babies from the Babies

took the sail today, as.honored guests.
To guard against any need which
might arise during the day, DIR. ]. T.
English and Miss Florence Gibbs, Miss
Emily Mulholland and Miss Anna
Reilly, nurses from the City Hospital,
accompanied the outing as volunteers.
Mrs. Annie Mullaley, of the Salvation
Army, also made the journey as a
helper. Musical Union No. 16 sent a
band, and Bartenders' Union No. 81
and Walters Union No. 109 sent men
to serve the food furnished by generous
friends.
The Newark had fully as many pas
sengers when she drew out from the
dock as were aboard on the l.. S. Plaut
& Co. outing to Luna Park last week.
The sail today is a much longer one.
and the time to be spent at the beach
correspondingly shortened.

be served on the boat the rolls were
furnished by Mangels & Schmidt; the
milk by the Alderney Dairy Company,
the Fairfield Dairy Company, Seller
