NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
COMMUNICATION. 
Dear Breeze: 
Will you do something for the Ar- 
bella girls, who wish publicly to say 
a grateful word to the people of 
Manchester-by-the-Sea? The girls 
feel very keenly that the success of 
the Christmas Eve festival was due 
largely to the hearty co- -operation of 
their good friends in the village, re- 
gardless of age, regardless of creed. 
The Anbella club might have had a 
tree as picturesque and as pretty; 
they might have marched and they 
might have sung as joyfully but that 
festiv al could not have been as pro- 
had not the 
found in its meaning 
whole village taken part in it. 
To Mr. Knight, who gave the 
Christras tree; to Messrs. Roberts 
& Hoare, who set it up, and to Mr. 
James Hoare particularly thanks are 
due, and the girls hope that his arm 
is no longer painful from the bruises 
sustained while he was helping set 
up the tree; to Mr. Knoerr who gave 
largely of his time, effort and inter- 
est, and to Mr. Noyes who helped 
him; to the G. A. R. and Sons of 
Veterans, to the Knights of Colum- 
bus and the Foresters, to Fr. Sulli- 
van, Mr. Hatch and Mr, Warner, 
who interested the members of their 
parishes, and last, by no means least, 
to the Town Fathers, who from the 
moment the tree was suggested lent 
themselves to the plan. And then 
the Arbella girls would like to say a 
very loud “thank you” to the Boy 
Scouts and their Scout Master, Mr. 
Warner, for all they did to make the 
evening a successful one. They 
ecuarded the tree in squads from the 
time it was lighted until it was put 
to bed; they made themselves use- 
ful and were as well ornamental in 
their uniforms. They led the girls 
in the march, they sang their carol 
well and they each and all deserve 
the thanks of everybody, and par- 
ticularly the thanks of the Arbella 
girls. ‘To those who played the cor- 
nets the girls are very grateful, as 
must be everyone who heard them, 
and had it not been for Mr. Bul- 
lock’s accompaniment on his cornet 
it would have been very difficult for 
the girls to have sung as they did. 
Thanks are also due to Mr. Sullivan, 
chief of police, for his care and 
watchfulness, and to Mr. Callahan 
the girls feel very grateful for light- 
ing the Manchester House and for 
allowing the Arbella girls to use his 
spacious rooms as a meeting place. 
And now a final hearty appreciation 
to Mr. Frederick J. Merrill, our 
Master of Ceremonies, for the able 
Long Winter Nights
