Cart. James A, Wricut, the efficient and beloved 
agent of the the overseers of the poor of Beverly claims 
that industrial insurance and the purchase of commodi- 
ties upon the installment plan are contributing elements 
in the oppression of the poor. It will be a great day for 
any family that shakes itself free of the installment 
methods of purchase. The increased cost of commodity 
purchases made upon the installment plan is at least 
thirty-three percent. 
Two Wett-KNown Beverly men by birth passed 
to their reward within the week. Each achieved suc- 
cess in his chosen career: Professor Pierce, of mathe- 
matical skill, of Harvard University and Rev. George 
Marshall Preston, scholar and clergyman. The world 
is the poorer for the two lives that have ended. 
Tue New Socta, SERVICE committee appointed for 
‘the first time by the legislature last year, has proved 
a valuable one and is destined to remain among the com-

It 1s THoucuT that the Beverly Board of Aldermen 
will pass an order soon for a new diamond on its ath- 
letic field. With its indoor Y, M, C. A. equipment Bev- 
erly is well equipped to care for its young men and boys. 
Manchester has an athletic field but needs a new build- 
ing for boys and men but with a charter that will ad- 
mit all sects to its directorates and membership. 
THE Rep Cross society is doing a good work all over 
our country and locally the Manchester society is living 
up to its humanitarian reputation. The new depart- 
ment on home nursing should be well attended. It is 
a rare opportunity for enterprising persons to receive 
a good training for the care of the sick in the home. 
Tue Nortu SwHore is always quiet in January, Feb- 
ruary and March, but no quieter this year than in former 
years. Make your summer plans early, for the work 
may be better cared for now than later. A word to the 
wise !

AS TO GRAND OPERA. 
Cost No Greater THAN For LIGHT- 
ER AMUSEMENTS. 
“Tf you are afraid of grand opera, 
your fear is based on one or both 
of two ideas. You are afraid either 
because you think grand opera is too 
expensive for you, or because you 
cannot understand it. Going to grand 
opera means to you the spending of 
$5 for a ticket. You will spend $1.50 
or $2 for a musical comedy or drama 
and think little or nothing about it. 
But $5 for grand opera is too much. 
Yet you can go to grand opera for 
the same prices you pay the musi- 
cal comedy or the drama.

“There are seats in all the great 
opera houses in this country — the 
Boston Opera House, the Metropoli- 
tan in New York, the Metropolitan 
in Philadelphia and the Auditorium 
in Chicago—which are to be had for 
$1.50 and $2, and which far from 
being undesirable are in many re- 
spects among the best in the house. 
Places where you see and hear per- 
fectly, and where you have every 
comfort, and all the advantages that 
anyone occupying the $5 seats can 
possibly have. Next time you feel 
like hearing grand opera, investigate 
these lower priced seats and realize 
how unwarranted is your fear of 
grand opera based on this idea.

“Then as to understanding. If you 
can read, you can understand grand 
opera. Get out of your mind that 
grand opera is a musical entertain- 
ment with a drama somewhere in- 
jected into it. Realize that itis a 
drama with music added to it, and 
that the way to understand it is to 
enter through the drama door and 
not the musical one. Buy a libretto, 
not when you go to the performance 
but when you buy your tickets, read 
it carefully until every detail of the 
dramatic action is clear in your mind, 
then leave the libretto at home and 
go to the performance with your 
mood ready for enjoyment and your 
imagination keen for the dramatic 
story, and you will find grand opera 
accessible to you. The music will be 
as a golden light which intensifies, 
beautifies and enhances the emotion- 
al content of the drama. If you have 
money enough for the purchasing of 
a libretto and can read, grand opera 
is open to you.—From a Havrah 
Hubbard Opera Talk on “Listening to 
Grand Opera.”
