pleasure boat, the ‘Limit,’ will be 
ready to go into commission within a 
few weeks, has filed application with 
the Harbor and Land Commissioners 
for an ocean pier to be constructed off 
his estate at Beverly Cove.

York will be among the new families 
to come to the North Shore this year.

son house on Haskell street, Beverly

have closed their Boston house and 
moved down to their Prides’ Crossing

pected at their Pride’s Crossing estate

of the shore this week are the P. S. 
Searses, the Dr. Hall Curtises, and

at their Manchester place today for 
the season. The house has been open

It seems good to see the clock in 
the Manchester Public Library illum- 
inated once more. It has been out 
of repair for some time, but Lomis, 
the jeweler, has spent a little time 
with it recently and plumbers have 
overhauled the gas fixtures so that 
the people of Manchester can once 
more enjoy the privileges derived from 
the lighted face of the clock. 
Messrs. Connolly Bros. have been 
awarded the contract for rebuilding 
Grave-vine road in Wenham, com-

ning through the woods to Thomp-

of ledge and earth excavations, grav- 
eling and regrading, and is to be fin- 
ished early in June. A large gang of 
men were started at work on Tuesday.

several years spent much of her time 
in Beverly Farms, left this week for

DOLLS MAY PARTY. 
Attended by 127 Dolls and their fair young 
“ Matrons.” 
Dolls! Dolls of all climes, yellow, 
white, red, black ; some young, some 
old; dolls with pretty silk dresses, 
with red and yellow petticoats and 
curly flaxon hair; and sober pious 
Matildas with plainand homely dresses; 
rag dolls, china dolls, wax dolls- and 
dolls without name, dolls! They were 
all out last night to the party in the 
chapel at Manchester. There were 
127 in all, and a prettier dolls’ party 
was never held. All the children in 
Manchester were out to see them. 
The chapel was a bower of beauty. 
In one corner of the ,youm was a table 
called ‘‘ Guests from all Nations.’ In 
the collection was a doll 46 years old, 
owned by Miss Fannie Knight. On 
the rostrum was arranged a May pole, 
with the legendary May queen, and 
ten dolls surrounding. 
In the centre of the room was a 
table, Pinehurst Park, with a pretty 
little pond inthe centre. Some of the 
fair dolls were strolling on the beach, 
others swinging in the hammock, 
others lounging around on settees. 
The hospital wasa very pretty feature. 
Here were seven cots, with pale, sick 
looking grown up dolls and babies in 
bed being attended by red cross nurses. 
A wedding scene was represented in 
the parlor. 
There was also the dolls’ lawn party, 
with a table filled with food and sweet 
looking delicacies; the kitchen pre- 
sided over by colored Dina; the dining 
room ; the parlor, with a pretty little 
miss reading by the light from a lamp; 
the bed-room, with the colored atten- 
dant rocking the baby to sleep; the 
night before Christmas with Santa 
Claus, tree, stockings and gifts ; and 
everything pertaining to a doll was 
represented. 
The affair was well conducted and 
proved a great money-maker, as well — 
as a pleasant means of entertainment 
for the children. It was given under 
the direction of the Junior Endeavor 
society. The committee consisted of 
Miss Isabelle Warner, Annie Lane, 
Mary Morgan, Amy Haskell and Ruth 
Blaisdell. More than $30 was realized. 
Now is the winter of our discontent 
made glorious by the thoughts of the 
summer sun which is coming in the 
sweet bye and bye. 
The George A. Goddards opened 
their Beverly Farms house Thursday 
and have arrived for the season.
