MANCHESTER BROTHERHOOD 
The Manchester Brotherhood held 
its regular semi-monthly meeting in 
the Baptist vestry Monday evening. 
In the absence of the president Rev. 
A. G.’ Warner, Rev. Mr. Hatch offi- 
ciated. The meeting was opened by 
the usual song service. It was 
agreed that as the town meeting 
will be held on the first Monday in 
March the Brotherhood will not 
meet again until the second Monday 
in March. 
Rev. Judson P. Marvin of the Uni- 
versalist church, Gloucester, was the 
speaker of the evening. His sub- 
ject was ‘‘Our first President, Wash- 
ington.’’ His talk was of an in- 
spiring nature, dealing mostly with 
Washington’s strong personality, 
and the thorough, honest way in 
which he performed all his duties. 
Nearly everyone is familiar with the 
life of our first president, and many 
times have we read the following 
words: First in War. first in Peace, 
and first in the hearts of his coun- 
trymen. Washington was twice 
clected to the office of President, and 
the people of this country would have 
gladly elected him for a third term 
had he not declined to run for office. 
It was not because he had lost inter- 
est in the welfare of the country, for 
until his death he was ever working 
for the interest of the people. He 
was a man of strong character and 
ability, gathering together the frag- 
ments of this young nation after the 
— 
terrible Revolutionary War and laid 
the foundation of this mighty na- 
tion. 
Rev. Mr. Marvin’s address was 
greatly appreciated by all. The at- 
tendance of the evening was ninety- 
one. The usual social hour followed 
the address and a collation was ser- 
ved. 
ARBELLA CLUB ENTERTAIN: 
MENT 
The first public entertainment of 
the Arbella club was given at Town 
hall, Manchester, last Friday even- 
ing before a large audience. A 
farce, ‘‘Carroty Nell’’, in two acts, 
was presented with cast as an- 
nounced last week. 
Miss Lodge in the title roll was 
the hit of the evening and her 
pranks and clever lines kept the 
audience in laughter. 
remarkable ability in her portrayal 
of Nell, the red-haired orphan, who 
is the heroine of the farce. Miss 
Knight and Miss Lane took their 
parts well, Miss Lane’s ‘‘makeup”’ 
being especially funny. The or- 
phans were very active and very 
natural and received generous ap- 
plause from the responsive audience. 
The other members of the cast were 
well suited to their parts and in 
both acts all worked together well. 
Miss Helene Sherman as the German 
nurse girl was deserving of special 
mention. 
Between the acts candy was sold 
by Arbella girls and at the close of 
the play selections were played by 
the Iligh school orchestra and songs 
were sung by the Glee club, which 
added greatly to the program. The 
Glee club delighted everyone and 
has made remarkable improvement 
in its work. It is a club of which 
the high school may be proud. The 
solo singing of Miss Clara Corren 
and Miss Emily Ferreira was partic- 
ularly appreciated and both were 
vigorously applauded in the hope of 
encores. A Grecian dance, the Mo- 
ment Musical, by Miss Beatrice 
Long, was executed with skill and 
grace and the effect of her costume 
and the setting was delightful. 
The committee wishes to extend 
its thanks to all who helped in any 
way to make the whole affair the suc- 
cess it undoubtedly was and much of 
the credit for the suecess of the 
farce must be given to Miss Mildred 
Peart, chairman of the committe, 
and to Mrs. F. G, Cheever, who 
spent so much time and energy in 
staging the play. Over sixty dollars 
was realized for club expenses,
