The big Red Cross benefit at Mrs. R. S. Bradley’s, 
Pride’s Crossing, Tuesday afternoon proved a glorious 
success and netted some $3,000 for this most commendable 
cause. Though the North Shore season is far spent, 
there are yet scores of families here and these turned 
out in large numbers for the affair. The weather was 
splendid, though the early part of the day looked 
unpropitious. It was the intention of Mrs. Bradley and 
her committee to have the tables on the lawn at the ap- 
_ proach to the mansion, but, instead, these were arranged 
in the large reception hall. Just outside on the veranda 
overlooking the ocean and the near-by island, the choicest 
fruits and vegetables of the season were arranged in 
baskets, surrounded by autumn foliage. There was 
seemingly no end to the contributions which were also 
placed on tables on the lawn and the stone seats along 
the terrace, which is just over the tops of a grove of 
pines on the water’s edge. The soft gray of sea and 
sky brought out all the beautiful colorings of the apples, 
grapes, melons and other luscious fruits sent from the 
hot houses of Mrs. Lester Leland, T. Emerson Proctor 
and others of the North Shore, who have won many 
prizes for their products. Within the spacious residence 
were other things displayed for the purpose of attract- 
ing purchasers. Miss Frances Bradley, Miss Agassiz, Miss 
Rantoul and Miss Denegre were among those who spent 
a busy afternoon at the cake and candy table. Miss 
Rosamond Bradley, Mrs. Roger W. Cutler, Miss Edith 
Fitz, Miss Alice Thorndike and others of their friends 
had the toy table in charge. There was a fancy table 
also, with Mrs. L..H.Newell, Miss Margaret Thomas and 
; many of their friends to attend to the sales. Mrs. F. I.

Bolan, Miss Anna Connolly, Miss Margaret Connolly, 
Miss Alice Chapman, Miss Lottie Chapman, Mrs. How- 
ard Doane, Miss Jane Watson and Miss Alice Lahey, 
aided, in numerous ways, the work of attending to all 
who came with the desire to spend money generously 
and show their appreciation of Mrs. Bradley’s generosity. 
Miss Louisa Loring, full of enthusiasm for the cause, 
had a table on which were Red Cross literature, “first 
aid” boxes and other things to interest those not already 
members of the organization. ‘This was a feature which 
everyone was anxious to inquire about and a long list 
of new names, testified to the persuasion of Miss Loring 
and the ready sympathy of those who listened. Nor was 
this all to entertain and instruct, for the drawing-room 
the enclosed piazza, the den and the billiard room were 
utilized for a whist tournament in charge of H. H. Ward, 
Mrs. H. G. O. Colby and a large committee. So great 
was the demand for tables that Mrs. Bradley’s boudoir 
upstairs was also filled with tables. Tea was served in 
the breakfast-room and the dining-room, with Mrs. Ezra 
C. Fitch, Mrs. W. B. Thomas and others presiding in turn. 
Mrs. Bradley was busy everywhere and when she found 
a moment to spare from the duties attendant upon such 
an affair, she was at a table on the veranda where scien- 
tific sanitation literature, and disinfectants were for sale. 
As chairman of the Women’s Municipal league comnittee 
which is working towards the extermination of flies Mrs. 
Bradley has made a study of these pests and has won many 
other enthusiasts to labor in her campaign for health and 
cleanliness. During the afternoon the Beverly Farms 
Band played a pleasing program of gay music and the 
scene was delightful when the entire company was as- 
sembled. One of the significant aspects of the under- 
taking was the hearty response from everybody; the 
employees of all the estate as well as the owners and 
their friends worked together toward its success and 
helped make a goodly sum to be sent across the sea in 
aid of the stricken cities and suffering victims of the war 
in Europe.
