THE BEECHES.

For the person looking for a quiet,
WelEordered home boarding house we
can recommend no better place than
this house. Here one can always rest
unperturbed by the outside world and
leave here refreshed and renewed in
life and vigor. The conGenial people
here is one of the special features of
this place. Perhaps most noteworthy
is the food, which is home cooking,
and always fresh. Garden produce
and fowls are from the hotels gar
dens, while all the sea food is fresh
from the line or net OF the nearby
fishermen. Proprietress Mrs. Chas.
Pettengill expects this year to be a
very satisfying one. The arrivals
for the past week here are Miss Mar
tina Dowd, Raleigh, N. c.; Miss Sarah
w, HanckeT, Charleston, S. c.; Miss
BuNdie Boyd, Maiden, Mass; Miss
Whitaker of Maiden, Miss Katherine
Malone, Boston, and Miss Anna Cur
tbs of Maiden, Mass. Many of the
guests here are among those who
have been here in previous years and
so liked the sample that they have
returned here for a bigger box.
The summer people of this island
have already started on a campaign
for the betterment of the existing
conditions. Their purpose this year,
1916, is to add a wide piazza, paint
the outside, make plans for the ar
tistic Improvement of the grounds.
The original idea of the Library club
was to build an attractive Library
with room for many books and to
make it large enough so that con-
ceTts, lectures, etc, could be held
there. Also it was Planned to have
tennis court and other games on
the surrounding grounds. Those es-
pecially interested in making this Or
iginal plan a reality are Mrs. X. B.
Bachelor, Mrs. Edw. L. Heydecker,
Miss Elizabeth McKeen, Mrs. Hamil
ton Gilkerson, Miss Nellie Frances
Bennett, Mrs. o. P. Stone, Mrs. Jas.
McKeen, Miss Laura E. Bennett, Miss
Elizabeth Griffiths and Miss Anna l.
McKeen.
From now on tea will be served
every Wednesday afternoon by some
of the members of the summer col
ony on the Library piazza. On Wed.
nesday, Aug. 8, the annual sale will
take place. All are requested to do
nate generously to the Library club
