A DELIGHTFUL OUTING
For Camp Abena Girls, Guests of Miss
Dorothy Boyd.

At Camp Abena, Belgrade Lakes,
where Dorothy Boyd has passed the
month of July, there are 30 girls from
different sections of the country, many
of them, however, from New York,
Brooklyn and Washington, where Miss
Hersom, the charming principal of the
camp. is a teacher in the ' Friends
school.
1t is safe to say that the summer
school at Camp Abena is one of the
very best in New England and with
Miss HersOm at its head there can be
no doubt OF it's continued success.
The girls when in camp, pass their
time in playing tennis, basketball.
dancing, swimming, canoeing and row.
ing. on Saturday evening, Aug. 20, the
play given each year at the camp in
the Ampitheater will be presented.
This year the play to be given is En-
dymion,' dramatiZed and coached by
Miss Marie j. Warren, a graduate from
Wellesley one of the councillors, who
has been one of the camp three years
and whose work in dramatics and
dancing here and elsewhere. has won
her much prominence.
Every week the young ladies take
a trip away from camp, sometimes
staying two days. sleeping in the open
at some attractive spot. The two days
this week passed with Dorothy Boyd at
Pine Lodge, Hammond'S Grove, will
long be remembered as one of the hap
piest events of the summer. They
drove from Camp Abena to the station
at Belgrade in d four-horse hayrack
ard the journey to Winthrop by rail
and from there to Byron Boyd's
Lodge on Lake Cobbosseecontee by
trolley was jolly one. When Mrs.
Boyd welcomed these 80 happy girls
they sang songs in praise OF their
hostess and also to Congressman Bur
leigh. who is assisting Mrs. Boyd in
her generous hospitality.
After lunch they were taken in au
tomobiles to The Outlet the National
Home and the principal points of in
terest in Augusta In the evening the
girls enjoyed themselves singing and
playing games in the cottage. They
found Pine Lodge a delightful place
for enjoyment.
Mrs. BOyds guests returned to Bel
grade Saturday morning on the 10
o'clock train. When these camp girls
go home in September and tell of the
summers pleasures. their stay of two
days at beautiful Lake Cobbosseecon-
tee will be only one of the many told
by summer visitors who find rest and
recreation among the hills and lakes
