Caterham (England) Sanitarium

By Alfred B. Olsen

OUR drawing-room improvement is getting on nicely, and we hope to see it completed in the course of two or three weeks. We shall then have a lounging-room at the entrance, a pleasant and commodious drawing-room opening into this room, and a generous veranda which we have sorely needed ever since we have been here. The extension will also give us a much-needed basement, which we shall use as a fruit and vegetable store. Above the drawing-room we are enlarging two of our bedrooms, putting in fire grates, and building on sleeping verandas. The improvement will probably cost us a total closely approaching, if not exceeding, £500. In spite of the expense I feel confident that it will prove a great boon to us, and we are very glad to get it.

At our late annual meeting in Watford, it was decided to go ahead with the Watford Sanitarium next summer, and get it ready for use in the course of another year. I feel confident that we shall have ample use for it at that time, for if our patronage improves proportionately this summer, we shall not be able to accommodate all the patients and guests who will want to come. Even during these winter months, with all the noise and annoyance of the building improvement, we have enjoyed very good patronage, and have at no time dropped below twenty.
