Last, but none the less important, 
was the display of the sewing class, 
Miss Grace Barclay, teacher. This 
work is taken up by all except the 
first four grades. Besides a fine dis- 
play of practical work, there was a 
generous showing of Christmas gifts 
which will be put to practical use later 
by the girls. One of the things dis- 
played was the manual training apron 
used by the boys, made by the girls, 
and sold by them to the boys. And 
there were some pretty kinomos and 
aprons, sachet bags, fancy work bags, 
pin balls, iron holders and some very 
pretty embroidered collars. Among 
the more practical work displayed 
were samples of the first steps in sew- 
ing, including basting, hemming, 
stitching, overcasting, etc. The dis- 
play was set off by a tree on which 
the articles were very prettily arranged. 
Grade 9 in the High school building 
had articles displayed in both the sew- 
ing class and Sloyd exhibits.

67, G.A.R., will take place Friday

Danvers will act as the installing 
officer. 
There will probably be some inter- 
esting remarks made at the next meet- 
ing of Painters Union, 797, when the 
topic taken up for debate will be: 
‘“ Would electric cars be a benefit to 
Manchester?” At their meeting Mon- 
day night the topic discussed was : “Is 
electricity more beneficial than steam 
for any purpose at the present time?”

chester conveys to Margaret M. Morse 
of Manchester land on Morse court, 
67.6 by 52.4 feet comprising 4100 
square feet with the buildings there- 
on.” It is said Mr. Morse intends to 
make alterations on the property, 
which, by the way, adjoins his own 
land corner Central street and Morse 
court, and live in the house himself. 
Miss Emma Johnson is expected 
home from Lynn this afternoon to
