Fernside
This house, formerly know as the "Princeton Vacation House for Working Girls," will open for the season on Saturday, July 1. It is conducted exclusively for the benefit of women wage-earners, over seventeen years of age, and is in Princeton Mass., beautifully situated on the side of Mount Wachusett. The house is in perfect order, the table ample, with fresh vegetables daily from the garden. The mountain can be ascended in two hours from the house.
Each person is expected to aid in the care of her bedroom and to do her share of the table work. The price for board is $4.00 a week, and the railroad fares $1.90 for the round trip. Reduction is made sometimes for those greatly needing a change of air, but unable to pay the above prices. Each person is expected to remain two weeks.
All board and railroad tickets must be obtained from the "Fernside Agent," and paid in advance. She will be at the Women's Educational and Industrial Union, No. 264 Boylston Street, every Tuesday and Friday evening, from 7 to 9 o'clock, beginning Tuesday June 13th. A deposit of fifty cents is required at the time of application; this will be deducted later from the regular board.
The parties, twenty-one in each, will leave every Saturday from South Station, and are met at the Princeton station by the "Fernside" carriage. Applications should be made early, as the house accommodates but forty-two.
All are requested to bring their clothing in bags, as transportation of trunks from the station is difficult. As there are no conveniences for personal laundry work, it is well to bring a supply of underclothing to last during the stay.
Miss M. J. Allen, President
