The Punch and Judy Show given 
under the auspices of Prof. A. W. 
Ellis in the Town hall Wednesday ~ 
afternoon for the school children 
was well attended and the children 
seemed to greatly enjoy the enter- 
tainment. The doll was given to 
' little Mary Knight and a game to 
Nelson Butler. 
The Missionary circles of the lo- 
cal Baptist and Congregational 
churches met yesterday at the Bap- 
tist church, when a most profitable 
time was spent. In the afternoon 
Mrs. Geo. Washburn gave a very in- 
teresting talk on Turkey, dwelling 
at some length on the people, their 
habits and the necessity of mission 
work in that country. Mrs. George 
H. Brock told of the work in India 
and in a very 
pressed the people with her earnest- 
ness. <A splendid supper consisting 
of salads and cold meats was served 
to the company assembled. The 
evening’s program was also greatly 
enjoyed, there being .more_ ad- 
dresses, an interesting letter from 
Rey. F. C. Briggs, a former pastor 
row of Japan, and several musical 
selections were rendered. 
Lamson & Hubbard Fall Hats at 
Bell’s. 4 
A very successful private dance 
was held in the Town Hall Monday 
evening. The hall was prettily dec- 
orated for Hallowe’en. Refresh- 
ments were served in the hall, and 
the entire ‘company voted to hold a 
similar party each month to promote 
sociability and general good times 
during the winter month. 
It is remarkable how much more 
religious a person can be in a well- 
fitting dress and a love of a bonnet 
than in a lot of dowdy old duds. 
One would suppose that the wear- 
ing of an immense broad-brimmed 
hat would obviate the necessity of 
carrying a sunshade. But it doesn’t 
—if the shade is an elegant and 
costly one.

Electricity! 
The electric light company noti- 
fied the Breeze among its other pa- 
trons. yesterday afternoon at 1.30, 
that the power would be off Friday 
from 7 in the morning to 3 p.m., 
the reason being that somebody in 
Beverly was to move a building and 
consequently the wires would have 
to be eut, ete., ete., and would not 
be connected again until toward 
night. We begged the Beverly com- 
pany to keep their power on Friday 
so that we could get our paper out, 
but they said they were at the 
merey of the Beverly city govern- 
ment who granted privileges to move 
buildings. At 7.30 last evening no- 
tice came that the power would be 
on Friday, but would be off Satur- 
day. Meanwhile we had arranged to 
have our force work all night Thurs- 
day, or as long as necessary, 8o as 
to get the paper in the mails Friday 
as usual. ‘ADS 
We recognize the fact that the 
Breeze is a pretty small toad com- 
pared to the rest of the North Shore, 
but there are hundreds of other peo- 
ple between Beverly and Manchester 
that are inconvenienced by this 
shutting off of the power at will. 
Here is Manchester at the merey of 
Beverly city officials; they grant a 
privilege to somebody to move a 
building and then Manchester sits in 
the dark until the building is moved. 
Manchester ought to own her own 
electric light plant!’

The Best Investment for $1.75 
There is no other way to spend 
$1.75 and get so much in lasting 
pleasure for every member of the 
family as for a year’s subscription 
to The Youth’s Companion. 
For the boys there are the fine 
articles by experts in athletic sports 
on the best practise in football, the 
knack of pitching, new ‘‘kinks’’ in 
swimming and _ sprinting — every- 
thing that interests the active, high- 
minded boy. For the girls there is 
encouragement for all wholesome 
activities indoors and out, from 
dainty dishes to dainty dress. For 
the household there is good advice 
about gardening, handy contriv- 
ances, ways of stretching the nick- 
els and dimes. 
This reading is all in addition to 
the ordinary treasury of stories, ar- 
ticles by celebrated men and women, 
the unequaled miscellany, the inval- 
uable doctor’s article, the terse 
notes on what is going on in all 
fields of human endeavor.

‘‘Where is the ideal wife?’’ asks

Why does a young man embracing 
his girl at the garden gate, just as 
the old man approaches, remind you 
of a love scene at the theatre? 
Because he is hugging his girl be- 
fore the foot lights. 
Did you ever chance to hear a 
mother remark in speaking of her 
child, ‘‘How like its mother!’’ just 
at the moment that the dear little 
thing was making a grab for its fa- 
ther’s hair? 
In this world joy is measured by
