““HOME DAY’’ OBSERVED 
Manchester Woman’s Club’s Meet- 
ing an Interesting Affair 
The December meeting of the 
Manchester Woman’s club was held 
at the chapel on Tuesday afternoon, 
the president, Mrs. Emma E. Stan- 
ley, presiding. 
The announcements during the 
business session included today’s 
conference at the Boston Public 
Library in behalf of literary and 
library extension. December 19th, 
Rev. T. Frank Waters of Ipswich, 
will address the club on ‘‘Colonial 
Days.’’ Mrs. Wm. A. Russell of 
Beverly Farms, hostess. It was also 
announced that the club had secured 
its Christmas seals and they would 
be on sale by the treasurer at the 
close of the afternoon meeting. 
At the close of the business ses- 
sion, Home Day was observed. The 
program opened with a vocal num- 
ber, ‘‘Irish Love Song,’’ by Mar- 
garet R. Lang, rendered by Ray- 
mond Ott, the boy soprano of Bos- 
ton, who came to entertain through 
the courtesy of Miss Clara Winthrop 
of the West Manchester colony. 
Master Ott is not a stranger in Man- 
chester and he renewed his success 
as a most pleasing entertainer and 
SHORE 
was warmly applauded. 
Mrs. D. T. Beaton as a club dele- 
gate to the South Boston conference 
appeared to great advantage as an 
occasional speaker and brought to 
her club co-workers several very 
helpful suggestions. She stated that 
the main subject of the conference 
was ‘‘The Ideal President.’’ Among 
the numerous qualifications ad- 
vanced at the conference were that 
a president should be the presiding 
officer of the whole club, not of a 
part or faction of the club. She 
should be a womanly woman—have 
brains to plan and direct. She 
should be the showman and not the 
show. She should have the same 
conceit as a man in a like position. 
The ideal president should know all 
members, be a perfect parliamen- 
tarian and have a strong personal- 
ity. Mrs. Beaton stated that the 
key-note of the conference was loy- 
alty. Her message from the South 
Boston conference to the club was 
therefore loyalty to the president 
and loyalty to one another, con- 
servatism in outside criticism of 
club affairs and respect for every 
individual or collective effort in 
their behalf. Mrs. Beaton was 
heartily applauded. 
Mrs. Elizabeth A. Sinnicks as 
BREEZE 21 
delegate to the Haverhill conference 
gave the club members an idea how 
such an organization is being de- 
pended upon to help the great re- 
forms and movements of the day. 
‘Civic Betterment’’ was discussed 
at Haverhill. The speakers dis- 
cussed at this conference the pitiful 
existence of foreign women in their 
isolation in the big manufacturing 
centres of the country. The male 
members of their families are better 
mixers, learn English phrases more 
quickly and confidently and gradu- 
ally outgrow their womenkind who 
appear eventually ignorant to them. 
Night schools for foreign women 
taught by club women are being agi- 
tated. The child labor question was 
also discussed at Haverhill. Mrs. 
Sinnicks’ address was delivered 
very interestingly and left a most 
favorable impression. 
Miss Martha C. Knight gave a 
very impressive paper on her recent 
European travels. In her finely 
worded sketch of her tour of the 
British Isles, France and Italy, she 
readily convinced her hearers that 
she has a strong love and apprecia- 
tion for the literary, historical, 
scenic and poetic values of such a 
trip. She held the close attention
