MANCHESTER WOMAN’S CLUB 
Rev. T. Frank Waters Spoke on 
“Colonial Days’’ 
The semi-monthly meeting of the 
Manchester Woman’s club was held 
Tuesday afternoon at the chapel, 
President Mrs. Emma E. Stanley, 
presiding. There were sixty-eight 
members and four visitors present. 
The announcements during the 
business session included the dona- 
tion of $100 to the district nurse 
fund from the Ministering Circle of 
King’s Daughters, who have _ dis- 
banded. A movement toward swell- 
ing this fund has been inaugurated 
by the club. The members are to 
embrace 12 committees of ten mem- 
bers each to follow alphabetically as 
in the year book. These committees 
are to devise ways and means 
among themselves to aid this club 
fund.. The first committee of ten 
will be composed of Mrs. B. A. 
Allen, Mrs. R. C. Allen, Mrs. G. A. 
Allen, the Misses Caroline L., Eva 
and Hattie-P. Allen, Mrs. F. M. An- 
drews, Mrs. Hattie D. Baker, Mrs. 
E. W. Baker and Mrs. D. T. Beaton. 
An open meeting for January 2 was 
also announced. There will be a 
stereopticon lecture on ‘‘Pagoda 
Land’’ by Sumner R. Vinton. Mrs. 
Elizabeth Johnson, hostess. 
Mrs. Emma G. Tenney, delegate 
to the Art Conference at the Boston 
Museum of Fine Arts on December 
7th, gave a report. She emphasized 
simplicity as the true artistic value. 
It was the key-note of the confer- 
-ence. In our report of the Decem- 
ber 5th meeting of the elub, credit 
should have been given Mrs. Annie 
M. Sinnicks, vice president of the 
elub, as delegate to the Haverhill 
conference and not Mrs. Elizabeth 
A. Sinnicks. 
At the close of the business ses: 
sion, Rey. T. Frank Waters of Ips- 
wich, was introduced and spoke on 
“Colonial Days’’ of which he is an 
authority, through his keen interest 
and activities for the promotion of 
the Ipswich Historical society. He 
is also a historian of Ipswich. 
Rev. Mr. Waters drew very real- 
istic pictures of historical manners 
and customs familiar to his hearers 
of Colonial times. His happy and 
simple narrative style, however, sus- 
tained and renewed keen interest of 
his audience in their rehearsal. — 
Rey. Mr. Waters spoke of the sim- 
ple beginnings of such towns as 
Tpswich and Manchester, their rural 
occupations, their isolation and the 
apportionment of grants to each 
settler. 
He found much to say of the in- 
ustry and capabilities of the colo-
