; 4 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, APRIL 16, 1921 : PAINT 3 "A LEG TO MATCH" HOPE OF THIS GIRL Little Marie Pawlaski, 8 Years of Age, Supports Tiny Sister Though She Must Use a Crutch ' GOING TO ARDEN SHORE Rest Camp at Lake Bluff to Be Para- dise For Her--Fund Campaign Opens On May 1 Do you remember the story of Cin- derella and the Fairy Godmother and how one little girl chose to go to the party because she wanted it more than anything else in the world? Of course nobody believes in fairies nowadays and little Marie Pawlaski is far too old for her 8 years and much too wise to believe in pumpkin chariots and magic wands. She hasn't even a wicked step-mother and if you asked her what she wanted most of all she would probably tell you, "an- other leg to match my good one." Found At Wash Tub The United Charities found her standing on an inverted peach basket washing clothes for her little sister Avalon. Both children are mother- less and when little Marie wasn't washing clothes she was carrying papers and garbage for the tenants of the apartment building where her Polish father is janitor. Now both Marie and her little sister are to be sent to live in the new "Cinderella, Cottage" at the Arden Shore summer camp for mothers and children. "Cinderella Cottage" has been made possible by the gift of Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Hamil of Lake Forest, whose donation offa new dermitory building for girls is the latest addition to the immense fresh air camp at Lake Bluff. Last year the directors of the Arden Shore home were faced with the difficulty in housing a group of orphaned children who were sent to the camp entirely on their own re- sponsibility and unaccompanied by an older person. Often these had to be either sent back to the United Charities or placed under the care of one of the women in the camp, which presented further difficulties in the constantly shifting groups. "Boyville" solved the problem for boys of all ages, and now "Cinderella Cottage" will be the exclusive prop- erty of just such little girls as Marie, between the ages of 6 and 14. Instructor For Orphans By the new arrangement a young woman instructor will supervise all the play of the little girls and in- struct the smaller ones in kinder- garten during the early hours of the morning. Lessons in folk dancing will be followed by tea parties of milk and cookies served on the bright green tables of the cook's kitchen, and in the afternoon there will be two wonderful hours of splashing in the waves--provided there are bath- ing suits to go around--and pails and shovels for the little Maries whose crutches get stuck in the sand. But last, and best as always, the cozy hours before bedtime when the most privileged smuggle up close to the big rough fireplace in the living room while Mother Anna Belle Ferrier-- no one ever thinks of her as "super- intendent"--fills the hour with stories of the princess fair and the far land. It is hard to believe that Mother Fer- rier isn't a fairy god-mother-- Drive Opens May 1 Mrs. Carl R. Latham, president of the board of directors of .Arden Shore, has announced that the camp will launch a big financial drive to begin May 1. When the fairy god- mothers of the north shore are mak- ing their rounds, try and think what ten weeks of Arden Shore would mean to little Marie Pawlaski. Miss Jean Richardson has discon- tinued the classes in children's danc- ing which she has been conducting throughout the winter at the Wom- an's club on Saturday afternoons un- til next October.

His wife and small daughter nego- tiated the journey last fall. They left Winnetka last October and were having a wonderful time visiting rel- atives and friends. Early in March the man in the family cabled that he was on his way. The day of meeting on the other side of the Atlantic was to be Easter Mon- ay. Mr. Pavey stepped into the house that day to ind--not the joyous re- ception, not the happy reunion, but-- death. Grim death had claimed his life companion. Mrs. Ernest Pavey passed away on Easter Sunday following a brief illness. The Paveys formerly resided at 474 Chestnut avenue.
