Proposed Soldiers Monument 
for Manchester 
The committee having in charge the 
matter of erecting a soldiers’ monu- 
ment in Manchester report progress. A 
letter has been sent out to members of 
the summer colony bearing on the sub- 
ject, soliciting financial support. It is 
signed by Francis M. Stanwood of the 
Smith’s Point colony, and is as follows: 
‘“In the autumn of 1912 a movement 
was started by the Woman’s Relief 
Corps, No. 119 of Manchester, for the 
purpose of erecting in the town a mon- 
ument, to be dedicated to the memory 
of the soldiers and sailors of Man- 
chester, who participated in the Civil 
| War of 1861-1865. 
‘A committee was formed from this 
corps, joined to which were members 
| from Allen Post No. 67, G. A. R. My 
| name was added to this list, in order 
\, to supply any help possible. 
‘*Many meetings of the committee 
have been held, looking to the ae- 
complishment desired; now a model, 
prepared by Miss Nellie Louise Thomp- 
son, of Boston, has been accepted, and 
it will be recommended to the Town of 
Manchester for formal approval. 
‘“<There will be required, to pay for 
the monument, its erection, and for a 
suitable dedication, the sum of $12,000. 
‘<The purpose of the monument rests 
upon reverent memories, patriotism, 
artistic fitness, and a wish to inspire 
in the townsmen, and in all who love 
their country, a respect for loyalty, un- 
selfishness, and high ideals of duty. 
‘“Some money for the monument has 
been raised, the proceeds of a fair held 
in August. The town has granted the 
section of land between the Congre- 
gational church and the Public Library 
as a spot on which to place the mem- 
orial. 
‘‘Tf this idea appeals to your sense 
of wisdom, a contribution to the fund 
would be accepted with grateful ap- 
preciation. ’’

| NEW BOOKS 
Recently Added to Manchester Public Library 
‘«The Etiquette of Today’’ by Edith 
B. Ordway, is a very practical manual 
of the forms and customs of social life. 
\| Some one has said, ‘‘ We feel ‘at home’ 
when we know how to conduct our- 
selves.’’? This little book tells you 
what is the proper thing to do and 
ee 
| 
when and how to do it. 
After reading some of the _ recent 
novels dealing with the sex question it 
is a delight to have the privilege of en- 
joying a story like ‘‘ Waitstill Baxter’’ 
by Kate Douglass Wiggin. It is a 
Maine story and tells us much about 
Deacon Baxter 
..Herman Randall is a book the thought- 
and his daughters, 
Waitstill and Patience. It is consid- 
ered by many the best story she has 
written. All those who enjoyed ‘‘Re- 
becea of Sunnybrook Farm’? will want 
to know ‘‘The story of Waitstill Bax- 
Gereae 
‘<The Culture of Personality’’ by J. 
ful reader will appreciate. We often 
hear the expressions ‘‘what a fine per- 
sonality.’? What do we mean by per- 
sonality? How many of us can define 
it? We are told much about person- 
ality in this volume. ‘‘What Person- 
ality Is,’’ ‘“The Mastery of the Affect- 
lons,’’ ‘‘The Training of the Mind,’’ 
‘‘The Education of the Will’? and 
‘“Self Consciousness’’ are headings of 
interesting chapters. 
‘‘The Eternal Masculine’? by Mary 
Raymond Shipman Andrews is a col- 
lection of short stories about men and 
boys. Several of the stories remind me 
of some of the tales in ‘‘Fisherman’s 
Luck’? by Henry Van Dyke. 
‘Gold: a Tale of the Forty-Niners,’’ 
by Steward Edward White, author of 
‘‘The Rules of the Game,’’ ‘‘The River- 
man’’ and other nature stories—is a 
very fascinating tale of life in Cali- 
fornia at the time gold was discovered. 
The author tells us that this is the 
first of three novels of California life 
that he proposes writing. 
Readers who appreciated the homely 
wit and shrewd observations of life in 
Martha-By-The-Day will be glad to re- 
new her acquaintance in ‘‘The Making 
Over of Martha.’’
