Mrs. Samuel Beach believes
that seeing a great deal Of your
children pays you in rich and
very worthwhile dividends. And
proof that she is right is the fact
that her two young daughters,
Betsy and Grayson, and her
small son Sammy are attractive
and well brought up and as nat
ural and completely at home with
their parents friends as with
their own. The Beaches like
their own fireside and they like
each other. Before the war when
every one had more time to
play, they used to spend their
summers at Cape May-fishing
and boating and swimming and
relaxing together on the sunny
beach. Now Capt. Beach has
left his law firm for the dura-
ton and is in the United States
Army, serving in the judge advo-
cate generals department.
AS Elizabeth Kemp, Mrs. Beach
spent her girlhood in Washing
ton and Middleburg, Va. In
Washington with her grandpar-
ents, the late John A. Bakers,
and in Middleburg with her uncle
and aunt, Mr.. and Mrs. Brooke
Baker. She attended Foxcroft
School in Middleburg, studied
and played tennis and rode to
the hounds. She is president Of
the Alumni Association of Fox
croft and a trustee 81 the school.
For several years Mrs. Beach
has been corresponding secretary
for the Children's Hospital where
her knowledge and understand
ing OF children stands her in good
stead. She has also served as
chairman Of the Community
Chest for the hospital teams and
Is a member of the Executive
Board Of the Children's Hospital.
For many years she was chair
man of the Welfare Board for
the Washington Heart Associa-
ton, which takes care Of chill
dren who are incapacitated, due
to weak hearts.
Civic-minded and capable, she
finds time for only those things
which she can do without affect
ing the smooth running OF her
own home. And like most wise
ladies, she feels that her first
duty in wartime tor ANY time)
is to her own family. And the
rich reward of this code of liv-
ing, is that she has the love and
comradeship Of her own children,
who adore her, and Of their young
friends as we'll.
