BEVERLY FARMS 
Many spring changes have been 
made or are being made at the Baptist 
church. New stain and varnish have 
been put on the floors; a new carpet 
is to be laid in the choir gallery and 
on the pulpit platform, and the walls 
have been retinted in part. The pas- 
tor has made a special appeal for the 
required amount to pay the bills, and 
a voluntary offering will be taken on 
Sunday, March 25. All who wish to 
contribute will send their money in an 
envelope on that date. 
The G.A.R , the associates and the 
members of the W.R.C. have been 
invited to the lecture to be given at 
the Baptist church by the Hon. David 
I. Robinson on March 29. 
Some 40 or 50 Odd Fellows, living 
in the Farms district, are interested in 
the fair to open at City hall next week. 
Howard P. Williams is a member of 
the committee in charge, and Mrs. 
Thomas Pierce of Pride’s Crossing 
represents this end of the town in the 
Rebekahs, who are lending their co- 
operation in making the fair a success. 
Bela Morgan, a former resident of 
the Farms, is renewing acquaintances 
in this vicinity. Mr. Morgan is enjoy- . 
ing a vacation from his duties as car- 
penter, employed by the U.S. govern- 
ment at the Panama canal. 
Thomas Rourke of Haskell street, 
employed by Messrs. Connolly Bros. 
as foreman, left Wednesday for Ros- 
lyn, Long Island, to start operations 
on the Beckman estate. 
Wesley G. McDermott has returned 
to the Farms, after a winter spent at 
his old home in the Provinces, and 
has entered the employ of Howard 
Doane, carpenter. 
A “sea clam tea party” is a new 
kind of a party, yet this is the name 
Capt. J. Frank Blaney gives the 
spread he prepared for the dozen or 
more friends who were his guests at 
his residence last Tuesday evening. 
The supper was served at 6 o'clock, 
and the balance of the evening, after 
the supper, was spent in a social way. 
Messrs. Winthrop F. Low and 
Joseph F. Fogg have returned from a 
vacation and sight-seeing trip to 
Chicago with stop-overs at Cleveland, 
Toledo, Niagara Falls, Buffalo, Pitts- 
burg and New York. They report an 
excellent time. While in Chicago 
they made a trip through the immense 
plant of Swift & Co., Libby’s Can 
Goods factory and several other large 
plants which has helped to make, not 
only Chicago, but the whole United 
States famous. The coal and oil 
regions near Pittsburg and the sights 
‘at Niagara Falls were especially 
interesting. 
NORTH SHORE .BREEZE 
Mr. and Mrs. J. Albert Mayberry 
returned from their honeymoon trip 
the first of the week, and are at home 
to their friends at their residence on 
Everett street. On Tuesday evening 
a large crowd of ‘Young America,” 
armed with all sorts of implements 
that would make a noise, paid the 
happy couple a visit and gave them a 
serenade. Mr. and Mrs. Mayberry 
responded and sent them off happy, 
loaded with peanuts, candies and other 
goodies. 
Mrs. George Tobias of Somerville 
and Mrs Minnie Titcomb of Freeport, 
Me., have been the guests of Mr. and 
Mrs. Wm. S. Pike. 
Frank I. Lomasney of the North 
Shore Fish Co. and Walter P. Brewer 
of Wyatt’s market left yesterday for 
New York and Washington, D.C., 
with a stopover at Philadelphia and 
Baltimore. The fever of ‘ pleasure- 
seeking’’ seems to be quite the vogue 
now, prior to the spring and summer 
rush. 
Last Sunday afternoon Thos. D. 
Connolly delivered his talk upon the 
“American trip,’ before the Beverly 
council, K. of C., and their invited 
guests. 
Ata recent meeting of the common 
council, in speaking on the school 
house question, it was cited that ex- 
travagance was used in the furniture 
of the Farms school, which statement 
does not find any sympathetic feeling 
from the residents of the Farms, inas- 
much as it is a fact that while the 
fittings of the school buildings are 
acknowledged to be of the proper sort, 
it would not have been economy or in 
proper keeping with the building itself 
to have installed a cheap and _ undesir- 
able lot of equipment. 
William Neville has been engaged 
by the Board of Director of the West 
Beach Corp. as superintendent and 
caretaker of West Beach the coming 
season. Mr. Neville occupied this 
position last year and was surely the 
right man in the right place. 
Card Party at the Farms 
The second night of the card tourna- 
ment being held at Beverly Farms 
under the joint auspices of the K. of 
C. and Foresters, brought out even a 
larger party than the previous week. 
It was held in Marshall’s hall, 
Wednesday evening, and was a big 
success financially and __ socially. 
Every available space was taken up 
with tables and the lower hall was 
also put in commission to make room 
for all. The winners were: 
Ladies—Miss Barbara Daniels, 1st, 
a salad set; Mrs. F. I. Lomasney, 2d, 
a chocolate pot; Miss Grace Quirk, 
consolation, a cream pitcher. Gentle- 
men—Chas. Hillyard, 1st, razor; John 
Trowt, 2d, match safe; Geo. Murray, 
consolation, a St. Patrick’s hat. 
In the game of “45” the winners 
were Michael Cadigan, razor, and 
Cornelius Murray, match safe. 
The third night of the tournament 
will be next Wednesday evening and 
an excellent assortment of prizes will 
be offered. 
“Hiawatha” Given at Farms 
School for Benefit of Children 
Thursday afternoon there was a 
large audience at the Beverly Farms 
school to witness the presentation of 
‘‘Hiawatha,’’ an entertainment espec- 
ially prepared for schools, by Myrtle 
King Southbard of Boston. The en- 
tainment was given for the benefit of 
the children who are trying to secure 
the “Tiffany Industrial Nature Cab- 
inet,” said to be a valuable acquisition 
to any school library. A goodly sum 
toward the $75 necessary was raised. 
Mrs. Southard gave several legends 
of the Indians, especially of the tribe 
of Ojibways, from which and other 
facts about their religious ideas, Long- 
fellow derived the material for his 
poem. Portions of the beautiful poem 
were then rendered by Mrs. Southard 
and the’ views were thrown on the 
screen illustrative of the characters 
and scenes in the poem; the murmur 
of admiration and the hush of rapt 
attention told of the enjoyment of the 
audience, which contained not only 
the children, but which was made up 
largely of the parents of the pupils 
and their friends.
