Miss Charlotte Read 
who is a resident 
worker at the playhouse, has been 
training of the boys and girls, some 
sixty in all—during the last two 
months, and it is safe to conjecture 
that the little actors will put on an 
interesting performance. The play 
is “The Snow Queen,” by Leonora. 
Loveman, and is being staged for the 
first time. The costumes have been 
made and the scenery prepared under 
Miss Read’s personal direction. Mr. 
Gannon of the Plymouth and Or- 
pheum painted the scenery and it was 
presented by the Orpheum. Jordan 
Marsh Co. have also loaned the bear 
and some of the other things used 
during the Christmas season in the 
snow scene, to Miss Read for this 
occasion. Everyone knows of the 
work done iat the Peabody Playhouse 
and a large patronage is assured for 
this occasion,

The Wm. A, Tuckers have kept 
their house at Manchester open later 
than usual this winter, owing to sick- 
ness in the family, more especially 
Mr. Tucker’s poor health. They have 
just gone to New York where they 
have an apartment as usual at The 
Plaza.

Mr. and Mrs. Philip Stockton 
went up from Manchester to take

ing tables for the table d’hote sup-

and Mrs. A. L. Daniels, Mr. and

Mr, and Mrs. Walter D. Denegre 
and their daughter, Miss Elaine 
Denegre, have returned to their win- 
ter home in New Orleans, where 
they arrived in time for the Christ- 
mas holidays. Miss Denegre is one 
of the season’s debutantes and is an 
honorary member of the 1914 Sew- 
ing Circle of Boston. The family 
made a long season at their summer 
place, “Villa Crest,” in West Man- 
chester. ¥ 
A play for children, “The Merry 
Fiddle,” is to be given at the Shubert 
Theatre, Boston, on Friday after- 
noon, February 13th, and Saturday 
morning, February 14th (Valentine’s 
Day), by The Children’s Players. It 
will be remembered that last year 
The Children’s Players gave “The 
Naughty Little Princess,’ and the 
year before “The Forest Ring,”— 
both fairy story plays. “The Merry 
Fiddle” has to do with a magical fid- 
dle which accomplishes all sorts of 
things. The actors of The Children’s 
Players are not children but adults, 
most of whom are members of col- 
lege and other dramatic clubs of the 
vicinity. Miss Louise Burleigh 
wrote the play, Miss Caroline Free- 
man is director of it and Miss Esther 
Sidelinger is “leading” little girl. 
Some men have greatness thrust 
upon them, but it generally goes to 
their heads. 
The things we do sometimes cause 
us more regret than the things we 
don’t do, 
The only way you can take the 
measure of many a man is by pints 
and quarts,

SOCIETY NOTES 
Miss Mabel Boardman of Man- 
chester and Washington, is one of 
those connected with the new society 
known as the “Life Extension Insti- 
tute,” which begins its nation-wide 
work in New York this week. Ex- 
Pres. Taft is chairman of its board 
of directors and other prominent per- 
sons connected with the society are: 
Professor Irving Fisher of Yale, E. 
FE. Rittenhouse of New York, Rob- 
ert W. deForest, president of the 
Metropolitan Museum of Art and 
trustee of Russell Sage Foundation; 
Frank A, Vanderlip, president of the 
National City Bank of New York; 
Henry H. Bowman, banker of 
Springfield, Mass.; Walter H. Page, 
ambassador to England; Alexander 
Bell, inventor of the telephone, and 
Dr. Harvey Wiley of pure food 
fame. The purpose of the society is 
to prolong human life. It owes its 
origin to Harold A. Ley a Spring- 
field, (Mass.) business man. ‘The 
method used will be like that applied 
to machinery, one of inspection and 
repairs. Service will be performed 
for the life insurance companies and 
for the general public by examining 
at stated intervals the physical con- 
dition of policy holders and other in- 
dividuals. Ljife-saving knowledge 
will be given as wide publicity as pos- 
sible. After a person has been in- 
spected he will be advised to see his 
family physician, who will be fur- 
nished a full statement of the result 
of the examination—high blood pres- 
sure or whatever the disability or 
disabilities may be. Experts will be 
employed through the country to per- 
form the work. It is considered an 
adaptation of the idea of the Chinese, 
who employ physicians to keep them 
well instead of to treat them after 
they become ill.
