The Eleventh Hour Sale. 
Chapel at Manchester was 
crowded last evening, despite the 
severe snow storm, and well it 
might have been for the ‘‘ Eleventh 
Ilour Sale’’, and the aczompanying 
entertainment, under the direction 
of the Harmony Guild, was well 
worth attending. 
The interior of the building was 
transformed into a veritable fairy- 
land of greenery and the various 
booths were decorated in keeping 
with the season. 
A large curtain had been strung 
across the front of the room, and as 
the main curtain was drawn another 
curtain was brought into view. It 
was white, with large Christmas 
bells painted upon it. Through 
tuese bells protruded the faces of a 
double quartet of Manchester’s 
fairest belles, and at intervals 
throughout the evening they sang 
a series of Christmas bells, College 
The 
bells, popular bells and National 
bells. In the chorus were Mrs. R. C. 
Allen, Misses Ethel MeDiarmid, 
Mabel Morgan, Alice Blaisdell, Mil- 
dred Peart, Beth Jewett and Annie 
L. Lane, and Mrs. L. N. Cook. 
The various booths .were artisti- 
cally decorated and wreaths and 
streamers of evergreen and laurel 
encircled most of the room. The 
candy booth, with poinsettia decora- 
tions, was in charge of a committee 
of young ladies with Miss Grace Al- 
len as chairman. The table of fern 
dishes was in charge o f Mrs. W. W. 
Hoare. The parlor was transformed 
in an ice grotto, with plenty of snow 
and icicles, and ices and sherbets 
were served here. Miss Annabel 
Haraden was chairman. On the op- 
posite side of the room was_ the 
faney table, filled with beautiful ar- 
MANCHESTER WOMAN’S CLUB. 
Informal Meeting Tuesday Afternoon. 
Paper On Home Economics by 
Mrs. Isabel Heustis of Boston. 
Ifome Heonomics in its broad 
sense, in relation to the home and 
the home makers, was interestingly 
treated from all its varied’ stand- 
points by Mrs. Isabel Heustis of Bos- 
ton at a meeting of the Manchester 
Woman’s club, Tuesday. Mrs. 
Hleustis laid particular stress on the 
work of the ordinary house wife and 
its elevation to pleasure from drud- 
gery through her willingness to per- 
sistently seek after wisdom and 
knowledge to make a better, happier 
and more sanitary. home, and par- 
ticularly more study in relation to 
the up-bringing of children. 
She believed that Home Econom- 
ics should be taught in the lower 
and upper grades of the schools-to 
better health, duty and business and 
the fourth ‘‘R’’,—right living. She 
thought more attention ought to be 
given to unhealthful food and diet, 
a legitimate work for club women to 
do to aid in the progress of home 
making, for all issues of hfe center 
in the home. 
The speaker gave a statistical re- 
view of woman’s modern rights and 
liberties, her progress in the profes- 
sions and her business intellectuality 
and sagacity, her exalted place in 
the home,— ‘mother, home, heav- 
en’’ 
In direct contrast, comes her pro- 
fession as a housekeeper and the es- 
- sential knowledge and training for 
its successful operation through the 
study of all its branches, to develop 
beauty, order, hospitality and like 
attributes so that it will become an 
inspiring profession of. fascinating 
interest through the discovery by 
ticles, offering most appropriate 
cifts for Christmas. This was in 
charge of a committee of which Miss 
Eleanor Morgan was chairman. 
Punch was poured in the next booth, 
which was constructed to represent 
a snow canopy. Miss GraceMcGre- 
gor was chairman of this committee, 
and Miss Shea and Miss Brackett 
were her helpers. 
The members of the guild serving 
on committees wore arm _ badges 
with the monogram ‘“‘H. G.’’. 
The whole undertaking was very 
skillfully gotten up, and to Miss 
Annie L. Lane, chairman of the gen- 
eral committee, is due much of the 
credit for the success of the affair. 
The decorations were under the dir- 
ection of Mrs. W. W. Hoare. 
education in domestic Bevetide of 4 
easier and simpler methods to de-— 
crease the laborous side of house- — 
keeping and develop more moral and | 
physical qualities in children, intelli- 
gent management and the spirit of 
helpfulness in each member of the 
family. 
The study of the relative value of — 
foods as to nutritive powers, the 
conservation of the household ques- 
tion, kitchen necessities, domestic 
service and its problem, production l 
and consumption, acquisition and 
use of money all aid materially in 
the economic struggle. bs 
Since women are the main direc- 
tors of household expenditures they 
should aim for better choice, better 
production, better consumption and 
buy intelligently. 
When housekeeping under normal 
conditions becomes drudgery we 
then know we are unqualified for 
the task and we need more know- 
ledge, more experience and more 
snecialized labor, more brains in the 
selection of foods more scientific 
and ethical training. 
The father’s fine example should 
predominate versus the mother’s 
good precepts in the up-building of 
the ideal moral and healthy home . 
and patience, tact and parental care. 
Light refreshments were served at 
the close of the lecture. 
The next meeting of the elub will 
be held January 3, when Dr. Leon H. 
Vincent will give an address on 
‘‘Franklin as a Man of Letters’’. 
Mrs. Grace K. Beaton will be the 
hostess of the afternoon.

The end of an argument is better 
than either side of it.
