NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
MANCHESTER 
The first grand ball given by the 
K. of C. at the town hall last night 
was a decided success despite the un- 
favorable weather. A large number 
was present to enjoy the dancing, and 
the Knights are to be congratulated 
on the successful outcome of their 
first effort. The electrical and floral 
decorations were decidedly attractive, 
and were the object of much favorable 
comment. The hall never looked 
prettier. 
The regular weekly band concert 
in the square was omitted this week 
on account of the flower show on the 
grounds of the Essex County club. 
Next Wednesday the concert will be 
given as usual.

Manchester, she was an ardent worker 
with him in all church work, taking a 
special interest in foreign missions 
and also in the work among the slums 
of our great cities. During more re- 
cent years, since they have spent their 
winters in Boston, she has been a 
great help to her husband in his 
literary and philanthropic work. She 
was a very estimable lady, and always 
had a kind word and smile for every- 
one. 
The loss of her daughter, Florence, 
who was her constant companion, over 
a year ago was keenly felt by her. 
Funeral services were held Wednes- 
day afternoon at 1.30 at the Baptist

J. Davis Baker sang ‘“‘Some Sweet 
Day By and By.”
