~ The annual supper of the Foreign

was an unusually large attendance

served by the young women of the

Wednesday about fifty of the 
youthful supporters of President 
Taft joined forces in a parade and 
marched through the main streets 
of the town to the music of a drum 
and other instruments. The leader 
of the parade carried a torch and he 
was followed by the banner-bearer. 
The demenstration must have 
aroused the political feeling of the 
Wilsonites and Progressives, for at 
one time the young marchers were 
showered with tomatoes and squash. 
A most successful supper was 
held Wednesday evening by the 
Woman’s Relief Corps. It was under 
the direction of the executive com- 
mittee, with Mrs. Hannah Tappan 
as president. The proceeds were 
put towards the $1000 fund which 
the corps is endeavoring to raise 
in order to have a Soldiers’ Monu- 
ment erected. It is hoped that the 
public will patronize the various en- 
tertainments which the* Corps will 
give for this worthy purpose in the 
weeks to come. We think it a 
most appropriate move to erect a 
monument here in honor of the 
Boys of ‘61-’65. It has been sug- 
gested that the section of the Com- 
mon nearest the Library would be 
best suited to such a memorial.

Opening Meeting of the Arbella 
Club. 
Tuesday afternoon marked the 
first meeting in the history of the 
Araella club, which has been so re- 
cently founded for the benefit of 
Manchester girls. That the girls 
feel a deep interest in this project 
and are ready to give it their heart- 
iest support was shown in the large 
number of girls present. There 
were about seventy-five in all. The 
meeting was opened by Miss Mil- 
dred Peart, the President of the 
club, who in a simple and cordial 
speech welcomed the girls. The 
members of the executive commit- 
tee were asked to speak in turn and 
~did so, explaining fuily the aims of 
the club, the hopes of its founders 
and the origin of the name. The 
name was taken from the gentle 
English woman, Lady Arbella, 
daughter of the Earl of Lincoln, 
who was.among the early colonists, 
settling at Salem. Lady Arbella 
married a certain Mr. Johnson, and 
with him faced the hardships and 
dangers of the New England wil- 
derness, soon fading away however. 
She died in Salem, and over the 
spot of her burial place now stands 
St. Peter’s church. The gentle spirit 
of Lady Arbella and her steadfast 
bravery are qualities for all girls 
to emulate, and her name _ was 
thought most fitting for the club. 
The girls of Manchester-by-the-Sea 
owe much te the women who have 
assumed the responsibility of found- 
ing such a club. They hope to bring 
the girls together in a simple friend- 
ly fashion and to afford them, not 
only social enjoyment, but the deep- 
er joy of real achievement. The ob- 
ject of the club, as stated in its con- 
stitution, is “to promote the desire 
for simple, happy, useful lives,” con- 
cerning which Mrs. James T. Fields, 
probably the oldest of the women 
among Manchester’s summer resi- 
dents, who was elected the first hon- 
orary member of the Arbella club, 
wrote a beautifully letter to the 
girls, thanking them for what she 
considered an honor and wishing 
them every success in their pursuit 
of happiness, which they would 
surely find in a simple and useful 
life. The President read the con- 
stitution and outlined something of 
the club’s plans for the coming win- 
ter. and requested those present to 
sion their names to the constitution. 
The meetings are to be held fort- 
nightly in the Congregational 
chapel, and at each meeting either

viving member of the original Cross 
family who settled in Manchester, 
entertained 16 of her friends at her 
home at- West Manchester, Mon-

was spent by all at the home of the 
hostess; refreshments were served.

Friday evening, the 25th of Octo- 
ber, has been set as the date for 
the first High school dance of the 
season. The class of ’15 is to hold 
the party in the Town Hall, and it 
will no doubt be as successful a- 
dance as the other classes have been 
giving. Ralph Stearns of the So- 
phomore class is to be floor direc- 
tor, and his assistant is to be Wm. 
Angus of the same class. The aids, 
chosen from the various classes, 
are Gordon B. Northup, 713; Gor- 
don B. Crafts, 715; Harry D. Baker, 
15; and Chester Hobbs, ’16. Every 
effort is being made to have the af- 
fair a success, and it will probably 
be very well attended, as about 
~ three hundred invitations have been 
issued. 
local or other talent will furnish en- 
tertainment. The girls will be 
asked to all help in work which will 
help others, too, from time to time. 
The club inust prove a pleasure and 
a profit to the girls of Manchester, 
and the founding of the club will, 
it is hoped and believed, mark an 
epoch in the lives of the girls and 
young wornen of the town.
