Though the stars shone brightly 
Wednesday evening in Manchester 
and fair weather was much in evi- 
dence, there were two heavy showers 
in quick succession in the vicinity of 
School street, and, sad to relate, Miss 
Rita. F. Crombie was caught by a 
complete surprise in the showers, 
while some three score friends stood 
around her and enjoyed the fun. It 
was one big “‘tin shower”’ for the most 
part, the two parties by chance being 
arranged for the same evening, one 
arriving about 7.30 and the other 
about 8 o’clock. Miss Crombie, whose 
engagement to Mr. Robert A. Mitchell 
has just been announced, though taken 
wholly by surprise, proved good for 
the occasion and made a willing host- 
ess. She read the verses accompany- 
ing the “drops” in the shower, and 
some were very well written, indeed. 
The recipe, ‘‘How to cook a husband,”’ 
read to Miss Crombie by a dozen or 
more of the married ladies present, 
who encircled her, was a hit of the 
evening. Refreshments were served 
during the evening, and games were 
played in which all the 60 or more 
present heartily engaged. The party 
held forth at the residence of Mr. and 
Mrs. Albert Crowell, where Miss 
Crombie lives.

the name of making, should not miss 
the sale in Rowe’s block next Wednes-

1906. 
The dancing party in the town hall 
Thursday evening proved a most en- 
joyable close to Mrs. Long’s dancing 
classes, and was well attended, the 
affair being withal one of the prettiest 
of the year. The younger folk held 
the floor till 9 o’clock, when the hall 
was open to all. The grand march 
for the children was led by Master 
Rufus Long and Miss Dorothy Blais- 
dell and was very pretty. The matrons 
of the evening were Mrs. Fish, Mrs. 
Blaisdell, Mrs. Wing and Mrs. An- 
drews. Long’s orchestra discoursed 
excellent music during the evening. 
The selectmen made their annual
