THE CHILDREN'S EXCUR-
SION PROVES GOOD TIME

The outing which was enjoyed Tues
day by the little ones of the Children's
Home and those in the care of Mrs.
Ada F. Hunt, through the courtesy
of the management of the steamer
islander, when about so of the children
made trip to the seashore and across
Boothbay harbor to Ocean Point, was
one that will long be remembered as
one of the red letter days of their
childhood. and although the weather
was not all that could be desired that
made but little difference to the young
sters.
The trip down the Kennebec, al
though the skies were gray and the
rain was falling, was one of great
enjoyment to the children, many of
whom had never before seen anything
of the kind, and the ever changing
scenery was a source of wonderment
to them. Shortly before the arrival of
the steamer at the destination of the
party the youngsters were given a
bountiful lunch of sandwiches and
many other good things and by the
time that the wharf at Ocean Point
was reached all were ready for the
two hours allowed on shore. The
rain had by this time ceased and the
clouds had partly disappeared so tina.
the children romped about the shore
to their hearts content.
The trip home was also one of en-
joyment and It is safe to say that
every little boy and girl on the steam
er had the very best time of his or
her. life. The children were given their
supper on the way up river and on
their arrival at Augusta were ready
for. home. The children were looked
after by 10 grown people who took
