ARBELLA CLUB 
: The semi-monthly meeting of the 
_ Arbella club, Manchester, was held at 
_ the Chapel, Tuesday afternoon at 
_ four o'clock with a large number pre- 
' sent. Mrs. F. H. Stannard of The 
Garland School of Boston was the 
_ speaker of the afternoon and, in an 
address which had an appeal to the 
older and to the younger girls as well, 
she told something of her work. She 
directs a school of about ninety girls, 
all of whom have come together to 
study one subject, broadly, homemak- 
ing. The school is divided into three 
groups, the so-called regular class, 
which meets five mornings a week; 
the Junior special class which meets 
three mornings of the week, and the 
Senior special class, which is com- 
posed of second year girls who hold 
classes three mornings each week. 
The school was begun in a small way 
and has had a slow but steady growth 
since 1902, and it is located in Mrs. 
Garland’s home on Chestnut street. 
Under the course of study come the 
courses in family life and family re- 
lationship, home relationship, the 
study of children, food, which em- 
braces marketing as well as cooking.

- marketing seemed particularly prac- 
ticable even for a club such as the 
Arbella club. A market man comes 
to the classes bringing his products 
with him and demonstrating the 
choosing and the cutting of the vari- 
ous cuts of meat, prevailing market 
prices and so on. For example, a 
side of lamb is taken for the first 
lesson ; the meat cutter shows the diff- 
erent cuts, explaining which are suit- 
able for certain purposes and whica 
are economical, and then cutting the 
meat as it should be done in the mar- 
ket so that the lesson is thoroughly 
practical. Mrs. Stannard talked so 
-entertainingly that everyone regretted 
that it was necessary for her to take 
her departure so early. Cocoa and 
crackers were supplied by a com- 
mittee. 
The next meeting of the Arbella 
club will be the Thanksgiving meet- 
ing which will be specially observed 
and all members are invited to make 
an effort to attend. 
speaker, Miss Ethel Hobart, a pro- 
fessional organizer of girls’ clubs, will 
address the meeting.

-As to RAM IsLAND OWNERSHIP 
We understand that from a recent 
decision handed down, the claim of 
the heirs of David Kimball of Man- 
chester and Salem for the ownership 
of Ram Island, off the Manchester 
shore, is upheld and the island is 
recognized as the property of Walter 
L. Harris of Salem. Sidney Perley, 
Mr. Harris’ attorney, finds that the 
first claim for Ram Island was made 
in 1722, and as it was finally settled 
in October, 1914, we wonder if there 
is a case on record rivaling this.

BEVERLY’S OLDEST CITIZEN 
John Girdler, Beverly’s oldest resi- 
dent and the first Beverly man to 
reach the one hundreth milestone in 
life’s journey, informally observed his 
birthday Wednesday. 
Born in Manchester, Mr. Girdler 
was educated in that town and spent 
practically half his life there. For 
many years he was engaged in the 
outfitting business and equipped many 
fishing vessels for the Grand Banks. 
In his years in Manchester, Mr. Gird- 
ler was active in the affairs of the 
town and was an owner of much 
property, among his holdings being 
the property known as Tuck’s point, 
and now used as the picnic ground for 
the town, the gathering place of the 
Elder Brethren, and famed far be- 
yond the confines of Essex county. 
At the probate court in Salem last 
week a letter of administration was 
granted on the estate of Eliza M. 
Gregory of Manchester, John Gre- 
gory administrator.
