The MacDowell colony, 'founded and maintained by the widow of the great American composer, provides a retreat for young artists where they can work and study undisturbed by the noise and bustle of the outside world and un- hampered by practical cares and worries which are often deadly to arJHstic achievement. The North Shore Mac- Dowell society assists in this work. "In naming the assets of the place I think I should mention first of all its natural beauty," said Miss Perkins in describing the MacDowell polony and its work. -The colony is just outside one of those nestling villages in the New Hampshire hills. The country is rugged, and the air is tonic, scented with pines; The second asset Is Itfrsi MacDowell herself, who presides ove*': the colony and provides ideal working conditions for a new group of young artists every year, assuming the entire financial responsibilities herself. She has no resources for the work except he* unshakable determination that other artists shall not have to struggle against the same conditions of work that brought an untimely end to her husband's life s achievement • in m***ipalâ- . connâ€" ii Thecolony acres are composed partly Of farm land and partly o£ wooded hills. There is a yellow colonial farm house where Mrs. MacDowell lives, *ribicb^jji£ so^iaicnieica^Sbe^^ and all the distinguished people who visit the colony are entertained there. There is the lower colony house near there, which houses the newcomers, and about a mile away another farm house where the second-year women colonists live. A similar farm house accommo- dates the men. On the highest part of the hill is a great New England barn which has been converted by white paint and by white columns across the front into an imposing structure where all the colonists eat breakfast and dinner, w their guests.

There are about eighteen of these little buildings, all well de- signed but simple, all hidden and no ones goes to them except the artist to whom they are assigned, unless by special invitation. There are more colonists than studios and those who are not assigned to them; work in their rooms, f ^After breakfast each person dis- appeats> and is not supposed to be seen again until dinner time.
