NORMANDY MARKET. 
Big Out-Door Fete for Charity—a 
Brilliant Success. 
Manchester again took the lead 
as an important social center on last 
Friday and Saturday, when the 
Normandy Peasant Market, a most 
successful society and charitable 
fete, was held on the 8. V. R. Crosby 
estate, West Manchester, in aid of 
the Sunnyside Day Nursery of Bos- 
ton. There were so many admirable 
and important contributing causes 
that it is not surprising that the 
patronage swelled to 5,000 people, 
it is estimated. On Friday afternoon 
the occasion was honored by the 
presence of the President of the 
United States, Mrs. Taft being pres- 
ent also as a patroness. It was 
likewise a privilege to see one hun- 
dred and more matrons and young 
women prominent in the social and 
philanthropic world garbed realistic- 
ally in most artistic Normandy peas- 
ant costumes barter their wares 
with sincere earnestness. The beau- 
tifully gowned women in attendance 
at the fete did honor to the cos- 
tumers’ art and the whole ensemble 
made a most brilliant scene. 
Everything in the market was sold 
under its French name. Those of 
epicurean skill could find produits 
du potagel in charge of Mrs. Richard 
S. Russell and her seven assistants. 
Mrs. Russell had most of the arti- 
eles brought.in from her farm in 
Andover. Fruits and flowers were 
in charge of Mrs. James Procter. 
Assisting her were seventeen young 
women and flower girls. All sorts 
of imported and domestic baskets 
were on sale at Mrs. I. McDowell 
Garfield’s booth. Assisting in sell- 
ing the ‘‘panier du pays’’ were four

other matrons. If you wished some 
particular novelty for your boudoir 
you consulted Mrs. R. L. Agassiz or 
Mrs. Quincey A. Shaw, 2d, or their 
six assistants. Mrs. Hall Curtis was 
in charge of the tea table and Mrs. 
Lester Leland supervised the booth 
for the very latest novelties. Play- 
things, faney goods, pottery, French 
corsage flowers,.rustic furniture and 
furnishings were all temptingly dis- 
played and kept the  well-filled 
purses of the patrons open con- 
stantly. There was a temperance 
bar, a dancing pavilion, pony grab, 
fortune teller and water melon 
christening, all typical of village 
festivals of the peasantry of North- 
ern France. 
The costumes of the assistants at 
the fete were very typical of the 
people they represented. They were 
earried out to the letter,—the wood- 
en sabots and high lace head dresses, 
the black silk aprons, heavy jewelry, 
black velvet bodices with bright- 
hued guimpes and the scarlet skirts. 
Great credit is due the managers of 
the fete for their original ideas and 
the very artistic and successful de- 
velopment of them. The board of 
managers were: Mrs. Q. A. Shaw, 
Jr., Mrs. A. Blanchard, Mrs. S. V. R. 
Crosby, Mrs. T. Motley, Jr., Mrs. P. 
VOR. Ely ER, Dalton, Jr., and 
Boylston A. Beal. 
The committee was honored by 
the following list of patronesses :— 
Mrs. Wm. Howard Taft, Mrs.. Wm. 
Appleton, Mrs. Henry L. Higginson, 
Mrs. Walter C. Baylies, Mrs. James 
R. Hooper, Mrs. Wm. A. Burnham, 
Mrs. Arthur Hunnewell, Mrs. Alex- 
ander Cochrane, Mrs. Henry Cabot 
Lodge, Mrs. P. V. R. Ely, Mrs. Wm. 
P. Lyman, Mrs. J. Murray Forbes, 
Mrs. Wm. H. Moore, Mrs. John L. 
Gardner, Mrs. Chas. S. Sargent, Mrs. 
Edward S. Grew, Mrs. Francis W. 
Sargent, Miss Charlotte H. Guild, 
Mrs. Robert G. Shaw, Mrs. John 
Hays Hammond, Mrs. Washington 
B. Thomas. 
The great generosity of Mr. and 
Mrs. S. V. R. Crosby in opening their 
estate for the fete was a_ highly 
appreciated factor in its success. 
SOCIETY NOTES. 
Pres. and Mrs. Taft previous to 
sailing for Islesboro, Maine, last Fri- 
day night for a week-end visit, made 
a eall about six o’clock at the Nor- 
mandy Peasant Market at the S. V. 
R. Crosby estate of which affair 
Mrs. Taft was a _ patroness. The 
President was a liberal purchaser, 
buying a basket of eggs for $5, a 
basket of peaches and a prize pump- 
kin. The party on the Mayflower, 
who went to Islesboro as the guests 
of President and Mrs. Taft, were 
the president’s brother, Horace Taft 
of Watertown, Conn., and Miss Ma- 
bel T. Boardman. Capt Butt and 
Master Charlie Taft also were on
