of aid, the negro returned to the 
Southland and is there now work- 
‘ing among his people. He is only 
one example of the type of negro, 
who is a fine scholar, a man of high 
ideals and faithful to his people. 
It is a significant fact that it is 
the Northern whites who have de- 
voted themselves and their money 
in the negro cause; not the South- 
erners, who seem in many cases to 
be asleep to the fact that if they 
would save their own children they 
must save their negro brothers and 
sisters. Because the colored race 
is so excitable under stress of emo- 
tion, particularly religious emotion; 
because the negro has all the finer 
feelings of his white brother and 
because he is an important factor 
in our country, he must be educated 
and made strong, not only for his 
own sake but for the sake of the 
white people, too. 
‘Easter Party at Men’s Club, Magno- 
. lia; Very Successful. 
One of the most pleasant social 
affairs of the season was the Kaster 
party at the Men’s club house last 
Thursday evening under the auspi- 
ees of the following committee: 
Frank H. Davis, chairman; Dennis 
©. Ballou, John V. Carr, Winslow 
Story, Oscar P. Story, Gilbert Cris- 
pin (as a jew) and Lafayette Hunt. 
To Mr. Davis as chairman of the 
committee belongs much of the 
eredit for the success of the affair. 
Credit is due also to the ladies’ 
-commmittee who assisted, particu- 
larly in the serving of the supper. 
They are: Miss Ethel May, Mrs. F. 
H. Davis, Mrs. D. C. Ballou, Mrs. 
Winslow Story, Mrs. O. P. Story, 
Mrs. Henry W. Brown, Mrs. J. V. 
Carr and Mrs. Thomas Abbott. Mrs. 
Brown and Mrs. O. P. Story were 
dressed as negro women of about 
a century ago. The greater part 
of their costumes was genuinely 
antique and the rest they them- 
selves designed. They were very 
funny and kept the whole company 
in laughter throughout the supper 
hours. Supper was served buffet 
style, at six o’clock, and was fol- 
lowed immediately by the appear- 
ance of the Magnolia Marine Band. 
The band gave several selections 
and Drum Major Foster did some 
exceptional stunts with the baton. 
The members of the band were as 
follows: Guy Symonds and Frank 
Randall, trombones; Oscar Swan- 
son, alto horn; Edward Ballou. bass 
horn; George Adams, Frederick 
Dunbar, Frank Dunbar and Gilbert 
_ Crispin, cornets; Charles Hoysradt, 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
clarinet; Lafayette Hunt, bass 
drum; Ralph Stearns (in clown 
make-up) drum-bearer; Leo Chane, 
snare drum and Russell Lueus, 
eymbals. The band was followed 
by a unique wedding procession 
with D. C. Ballou as the negro bride 
and John V. Carr as the bride- 
groom. The bride wore a white 
lace gown, draped, slashed and cut 
in the height of fashion, complete 
even to the bridal veil and its wreath 
of roses. The veil was borne by 
little Samuel Emerson and Victor 
Nelson, dressed as colored girls. The 
wedding procession was a complete 
surprise to everyone and was the 
hit of the evening, especially on its 
second round. Others who marched 
in costumes behind the band were 
Winslow Story, tramp; Edgar Story, 
‘‘chicken inspector’’; Frederick Ly- 
eett and William Hunt, Mutt and 
Jeff; W. B. Richardson, George 
Washington; Osear P. Story, organ 
grinder; William Till, colonial 
gentlemen. Many others came in 
costume, among whom were Frank 
H. Davis as Aunt Abby;: Axel Nel- 
son, who was unrecognizable as a 
young woman; George Till, clown; 
Misses Marion and Beatrice Story, 
Susan Lycett and Jennie Brown in 
charming crepe paper dresses, Mrs. 
William Till, as the Pink Lady, 
little Miss Eleanor Ballou, as an 
Irish boy. Mr. and Mrs. Harvey, in 
Scotch costume, danced the High- 
land Fling and were much applaud- 
ed. James J. Cullen gave some songs 
and impersonations that were quite 
out of the ordinary. After the en- 
tertainment a Gloucester orchestra 
provided excellent music for dane- 
ing which closed the party at 12 0’- 
clock. Story and Greenwood and 
Mr. Davis generously lent their au- 
tomobile to convey people to and 
from the hall. 
Court house attaches are having 
a lot of fun with Amateur Lectur- 
ers’ union, ‘‘No. 23,’’ which they
