MAGNOLIA 
Proprietor George A. Upton of the 
Oceanside started Tuesday on a six 
weeks’ tour of the South and Florida. 
Virgil DeWitt Harrington, who is 
to succeed Mr. Priest as manager of 
the Hesperus, was in town Tuesday 
looking over the property. Mr. Har- 
rington is a young man but he is 
thoroughly capable in hotel manage- 
ment. Last season he was one of the 
proprietors of the Oceanic at the Isle 
of Shoals, N.H. He is now in charge 
of the large dining hall at Phillip’s 
academy, Andover, Mass. 
The Travel class met with Mrs. El- 
bridge Foster Thursday evening and 
began the tour in Italy with some 
papers on its history. 
Indications of spring! William 
Homans, jr., found four or five trail- 
ing arbutus buds, partially opened, 
and almost in bloom, near the ice 
pond back of Rowe’s stable, the first 
of the week. Henry Brown, while 
walking along Magnolia avenue, a few 
days ago, near the schoolhouse, saw 
a cat stealing along with a live snake 
in its mouth. This is what the warm 
rays of the sun will do.

The Christian Endeavor society last 
week elected these officers for the 
next six months: Miss Amy Lycett, 
president ; Miss Alice Story, vice- 
president ; Mrs. Michael Kehoe, sec- 
retary; Miss Alice Sanborn, treas- 
urer. The interest in the meetings 
is increasing under the new plan of 
conducting them. Mrs. Harry Fos- 
ter was in charge of the meeting last 
week, the subject being ‘‘An evening 
with Tennyson.” A feature of the 
evening was a violin solo by Arthur 
Kehoe, with Miss Alice Rainville of 
Manchester, accompanist. 
An event of interest which we could 
_not print last week, was the chafing 
dish party in Donchian’s hall, Wednes- 
day evening, under the auspices of 
the Ladies’ Aid society. The event 
was one of the prettiest and most 
popular of the winter. In the menu 
was to be found chicken, in all forms ; 
Welsh rarebit, creamed lobster, 
creamed chicken, jellies, dessert 
dishes, etc. The hall was prettily 
decorated for the occasion’ with 
boughs and the seven tables with 
flowers and colored candles. Mrs. 
Harry. Foster, Miss Alice Story and 
Miss Ethel May was the committee 
in charge. Those who served were : 
Misses Alice Sanborn, Helen Lycett, 
Sadie Abbott, Addie Stanley and 
Mrs. Grace Hunt. The matrons 
were: Mrs. Susan Libby, Mrs. Joseph 
Crispin, Mrs. Arthur Lycett, Mrs. 
Jonathan May, Mrs. Hannaford, and 
Mrs. Frank Story After the supper 
dancing was enjoyed till 11 o’clock, 
music being furnished by Mrs. John 
Chane and James Chane. 
The Misses Williams, daughters of 
W. B. Williams of Boston, were down 
to the cottage Tuesday. 
F. L. Hunt has bought from Frank 
Stanwood the piece of land on which 
his market is located, corner of Ray- 
mond street and Magnolia avenue, 
with 110 feet on the former and 90 
feet on the latter street. It was on 
this site that Mr. Stanwood last fall 
intended to erect a block. 
Fred White left Monday for Gran- 
ville, N.S., where he intends to spend

spending three weeks in Gloucester 
with the former’s parents, Mr. and 
Mrs. Silver. 
Mrs. Roy French and her sons 
Edward and Stanley of Charlestown 
have been spending the week in town 
with Mrs. French’s parents, Mr. and 
Mrs. Edward Symonds. 
Mr. and Mrs. Neil McCatherine of 
Gloucester spent the first of the week 
in town, guests of the latter’s parents, 
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Sargent. 
The date of the concert which is to 
conclude the Singing school has been 
fixed for Thursday, Feb. 8. It will 
be a grand affair. The chorus will 
furnish five numbers, among which is 
the ‘Soldiers’ chorus’’ from Gounod’s 
Faust, sung at the Gloucester musical 
festival last year. Mr. Stevens of 
Gloucester will be pianist for the oc- 
casion and will, with Mr. Wonson as 
cornetist, and a violinist and a ’cellist 
to be announced later, make up a 
small orchestra which will render at 
least three numbers. In addition to 
this, two soloists from Boston are 
looked for, a tenor and a contralto. 
If they are both secured, the concert 
will be a fitting climax to a successful 
season of hard work on the part of 
Mr. Wonson and his class. 
The Singing school is to meet next 
week on Wednesday.

Skating Rink and Garage 
A skating rink, with all the up-to- 
date appurtenances, is the latest prop- 
osition for attractions at Magnolia next 
season. ‘The Gloucester Times is 
authority for the statement that : 
“Mr. Frank Stanwood, the Fort 
wharf fish dealer, is having plans 
made by Mr. Edward S. Griffin, the 
local builder and contractor, for the 
erection of an up-to-date skating rink 
at Magnolia, fronting on Norman 
avenue, in the rear of the Magnolia 
and Oceanside hotels. The plans 
show space for a large plaza and or- 7 
chestra building and will contain all 
the modern improvements. A. com- 
modious and well appointed garage 
will be erected on the rear of the 
structure.”
