Good Cheer For Invalids.
This is the time of year when
all who are gifted with health and
strength turn to the great Out
doors to revel through the com
ing mouths in Summer sunshine,
in balmy air, in the colors and
odors of llowers and in the bless
ed green of fields and woodland.
Yet while Spring briugs joy and
pleasure to the world at large, it
forecasts only added discomfort
to the invalids who are shut in
their rooms. To thousands who
are permanently confined, per
haps to some in this very neigh
borhood, Summer does not mean
sweeping views of hillside and
valley, delightful scent-laden
breezesor rambles through shady
lanes. It means only comfortless
nights and days in bed or wheel
chair, cooped up in a narrow
room where the air is hot and
stifling, without hope or relief.
The report of the Pennsylvania
Branch of The Shut In Society,
just received, states that this
branch alone numbers 0."4 Shut
ins in Pennsylvania, Virginia, W.
Virginia and Kentucky.
The Shut-in Society was or
ganized in New York City in 1S77
for the purpose of bringing cheer
and comfort into the lives of the
sick and lonely. It provides the
invalids with reading matter,
cheerful correspondents, birth
d"ay and Christmas cards, air
cushions, hot water bags, etc.
Sick room appliances, such as
wheel chairs, bed rests, bed ta
bles, rocking chairs, are loaned
to those who need them. Ex
changes for the sale of the work
of the invalids are maintained by
the Branch and by this means
many are enabled to obtain the
necessities of life.
This Society presents an op
portunity for anyone who wishes
to take part in this work of mak
ing afflicted liveamore endurable.
New associate or active members
are desired who will correspond
with the invalids and visit those
in their neighborhoods. Dues
are $1.00 a year.
The Pennsylvania Branch also
wishes to know ot any invalids in
these four States to whom the
Society could bung good cheer.
The dues ot Shut ins are twenty
live cents a year, which sura cov
ers the subscription to the Open
Window, the magazine of the So
ciety. All inquiries in reference to the
work ot the Branch and contri
butions towards its support, will
bo gladly received and promptly
acknowledged if sent to its office,
J 710 Chestnut St., Philadelphia,
addressed to the President, Miss
Mary Parker Nicholson. Sample
copies of the Open Window and
the Quarterly, published by the
Branch, will also be mailed on
request.
