merry time was enjoyed by the club 
members.

Housing the public library has been 
talked of, transferring some of the 
pupils from the congested school 
rooms has been considered, but the 
latest move is that made by the school 
committee, which desires to use the 
drill shed for a gymnasium for the 
High school. What disposition the 
public property committee will make 
of this proposition remains to be seen ; 
but it is undoubtedly a good sugges- 
tion, and receives favorable comment.

formal dancing party at Rogers hall

tra furnished music, and the affair was 
a pronounced success, socially as well 
as financially. 
Mixed Marriages. 
Rev. Francis J. Curran, pastor of 
St. Mary’s Star of the Sea church, 
Beverly, in hissermon last Sunday 
morning warnec the young men and 
women Of his parish against marrying 
those outside the church who have no 
intention of becoming members of the 
Catholic faith. 
«A white man should marry a 
white woman,” said Fr. Curran, “‘and 
a colored man should marry a colored 
woman. So shoulda Catholic young 
man marry a Catholic young woman, 
and a Protestant young man marry a 
Protestant woman. 
“ If this rule were carried out there 
would be less trouble, and less scan- 
dal would be caused.”’
