Summary "Ethel Morton at Rose House" by Mabell S. C. Smith is a juvenile fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Ethel Morton and her cousin, Ethel Blue, along with their friends, as they organize a Fresh Air project to care for mothers and children from New York City who need a respite in the country during the summer. Through their community efforts and engaging interactions, the young characters face challenges that allow them to learn valuable life lessons about empathy, cooperation, and the importance of service. The opening of the novel sets the scene during a May Day celebration in New Jersey, where the girls are involved in preparing games and activities for the younger children. As the United Service Club members gather to evaluate their community service efforts, Roger Morton, Ethel's cousin, proposes an ambitious plan to provide a summer retreat for needy families from the city, sparking enthusiasm among the group. The girls quickly brainstorm various ideas and discuss practical logistics, from decorating the old farmhouse provided by Roger's grandfather to recruiting a cook, all while weaving in camaraderie, friendly banter, and hints of romantic interest. This introduction showcases the characters' determination and teamwork, promising readers an uplifting tale of youthful idealism and community spirit. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
