Vacation Home and Aid
Prepared for All Lonely
Girls in Newark Streets

The suave young secretary becs2ss
enthusiastic when asked what, par
ticularly, was done for the lonely
Newark girl in summer, especially
when the time came for the yaca-
tton-so long expected and often 50
hardly earned.
Why" said she, don't you know
about our lovely vacation house. not
far from Boonton, where mountain,
river and lake add their glory to q
strikingly beautiful mansion, en-
powered In trees and filled with de-
lights dear to the heart of girl2
This vacation house will comforta-
bly, accommodate thirty girls and We
have squeezed fifty into IL. But then,
you know, perhaps. that happy girls
don't mind a little inconvenience.
The board at the vacation home Il
only $3.50 = week and q reservation
may be arranged for fee of 80 cents
Here there are boating and swimming
and fishing, and while there are no
tennis courts there are many who are
satisfied with croQuet.
But what the girls like best. per-
haps, are the hay rides, the camp
over the hills. And this IL the very
life that is initiated, as far as pcs
sible, by the smaller girls who join
| the Young Women's Christian Assoc
citation, but cannot leave the city.
| Their chief Joy IL in what they de-
nominate as their Bacon Bats-ti1at
u.s. free lunches IN suburban surreund-
| ings.
"These little parties are always
chapsroned by one OF our secretaries
and / am sure there are no happier
summer parties In this city.
These same smaller girls are
among those who appreciate mort.
possibly. the games arranged for
them on our roof garden, and now
/ Will tell you what Is done for the
! lonely girl throughout the summer
IN this building itself.
but before I enumerate our reerea-
! ton hours, I wish you would make
this statement for me, namely. that
in our house at 562 Broad street-our
own property-quarters are provided
for transients. to be open all sum-
mer Here any girl can ind
refuge, safe, convenient and CONF
/ Portable.
| But to go back to our vacation
! plans IN the city:
"On Monday evenings. on the
roof garden, there is recreation
schedule arranged especially for the
girls of the Industrial Clubs, In which
are represented more than forty
| factories.
Tuesday evenings the recreation
scheme is arranged for the gym
nasium girls, of whom there are
many, and these girls. particularly,
are waiting for the repairs on the
swimming pool, which Is being made
absolutely leak-proof.
"On Wednesday evenings there Il
class Bible study on the roof garden,
with supper at $50 o'clock. There ID
also Bible study out-of-doors, IN
which all girls, II they wish, are
privileged to join. On Thursday eve
ming, again, the Industrial Club girls
have their recreation hour.
"On Friday evenings there is fun
again for the gymnasium girls. and
on Saturday nights there is the
!. GROWING Joy Of the week-dancing-
when the girls may invite the young
men whom they most affect and
J whom they can introduce in the In
stitution as worthy Of the privilege
, they enjoy.
And, now that I have given yoQ
; complete precis of our summer
, work, there Is another little bit of a
favor you can do for me. wish
you would announce that any girl
who has not proper facilities at home
at any time, from in the morning
; until $50 o'clock at night, she may
enjoy a shower or tub bath"
Il With this last little touch OF SAM
tary science, Miss Adams drew Q
long breath, and, placing the writer
under the guidance of another polite
| secretary, left him TO be shown the
beauties and conveniences of the
building, now becoming well known
to the limited class in Newark who
iare interested IN the work.
