LAWN PARTY AT ESSEX. 
The Annual Lawn Party of the 
Y.P.S.C.E. of the Congregational church, 
Essex, took place on the Raymond lawn 
on Thursday afternoon and evening of 
last week. It was under the efficient 
charge of the social committee of which 
Miss Agnes M. Choate s chairman. The 
booths were prettily arranged and dece- 
orated. The fancy work table was very 
prettily decorated with colored crepe 
paper and was piled high with beautiful 
and artistic goods, which under the charm- 
ing salesmanship of Mrs. Herbert P. An- 
drews, Gretta Burnham, Mrs. ©. L. Hard- 
ing and M. F. Choate, soon dwindled away 
and was entirely sold long before the 
closing of the party. 
' The cake table came next. Here Mrs. 
a 
Frank Goodhue, Helen G. Mears and 
Francis 8. Low presided. Never before 
had there been so many loaves of cake 
contributed—never had they looked richer 
and nicer. Early in the day all the empty 
candy boxes that could be found had 
been gathered in. It looked like a formid- 
able task to dispose of this great stock, 
but under the magnetic influence of this 
charming committee it disappeared like 
dew before the rising sun. 
The candy table was quite a grand af- 
fair. A rustic booth had been created, 
beautiful in design and workmanship. “It 
was trimmed with green leaves and _ ber- 
ries, taking hours of time to do it. Here 
Maidie P. Polleys, Marjorie Story, Helen 
A. Choate and Lelia Raymond did the 
honors. The table was always. busy, 
whether it was the attractiveness of the 
waitresses or the seductiveness of the 
sweets over which they presided, we are 
unable to tell, but be it as it may, their 
stock was completely sold. 
The ice cream table was presided over 
by B. Frank Raymond, Ruth Watson and 
Helen MclIves. Ice cream is always in de- 
mand and it is no wonder with so efficient 
helpers Mr. Raymond soon disposed of his 
stock. 
Lemonade table. Here much care and 
pains had been taken to trim the table 
and make it attractive and the charming 
ecommittee—Annie M. Story, Beth Burn- 
ham and Ruth Lawson, had a rousing good 
trade from the beginning. At the mys- 
teries table three little girls—Agnes Burn- 
ham, Nellie Raymond and Evely B. Proce- 
tor, had charge. Somebody must have 
worked hard to get the immense number 
of mysteries together. Mystery attracts 
everyone, and these beautiful little girls

had all they could do to peddle them out 
until all were sold. 
The peanut committee, Ruth Low, Mary 
Burnham and Velmar Turner, employed a 
unique way of selling their wares. Run- 
ners were employed who shouted, ‘‘ pea- 
nuts, hot peanuts,’’ making things lively 
and cheerful. 
Celis M. Choate, Ruby Adams_ and 
Abby F. Low, the committee on music 
furnished the National Guard Orchestra, 
who discoursed ‘‘sweet’’ sound from 7 to 
9.30 in the evening to the delight and en- 
joyment of all. 
The lawn was beautifully lighted with 
electric lights—pink, white, green, red and 
blue. These were furnished free by the 
Gloucester Electric Light Co. They were 
admirably arranged by Stanley Wonson 
and Marshall Cogswell. 
The supper under the able supervision 
of Mrs. H. N. Goddard, Mrs. Julia 8. 
Mears, Mrs. Lambert, Mildred Watson, 
Martha Wonson, Winnifred Burnham, 
Georgia Story, Paul Goddard and Melville 
Low, was an immense success. Admissions 
under Rev. Mr. Goddard, Frank KE. Ray- 
mond and Ralph Low netted more than 
last year. We must not forget to mention 
Leonard—for by his faithful work in 
placing the ropes, the people were pre- 
vented from climbing over the wall or 
some other way and were led to the gate 
where they dropped ten cents and came in. 
The annual lawn party of the Y. P. S. 
C. E. has come to be one of the social 
events of the year in Essex, and is made a 
town affair and is patronized by all. The 
party of this year will rank among the 
most suecessful ever held. Financially it 
netted about $100.00.
