tional institution. 
- the Art Museum, provided that the 
present policy of free days twice a 
_ week and on Wednesday afternoon 
be continued. 
The Art Museum is a great educa- 
¢ The money ex- 
_ pended would be of immediate value 
to the citizens of Boston. Frederick 
Pf. Fish, chairman of the State Board 
of Education has well said, ‘‘such 
an institution as this, should be 
brought to the people as its greatest 
worth was to the citizen rather than 
those who thought they had a real 
appreciation of art.’? With all due 
respect to art as a profession and 
in recognition of the advances con- 
stantly being made in technique it 
remains true that there is an aethetic 
spirit in countless men and women 
who can never be artists, but who in 
an untechnical and simple way 
know instinctively how to appreciate 
the beautiful. In truth it is such as 
they who humble in their apprecia- 
tion may get from the 
treasures of the Museum constant 
pleasure, pleasure passing the cyni- 
eism of the artist whose art knowl- 
edge and technique may rob him of 
the pleasure of untutored admira- 
tion of a Master’s work. Because 
the Museum does give inexpressible 
pleasure and an education in art to 
thousands of untutored art lovers, 
the city is justified in assisting such 
an institution. 
The Gloucester Branch needs two 
additional trains in the evening, one 
going up to Boston and _ passing 
through Manchester at seven twenty 
and the other to leave Boston at 
about ten o’clock. These two trains 
have long been needed and as the 
exclusion of an electric car line 
seems to be the settled policy of the 
shore from Beverly to Gloucester, the 
public must look to the Boston and 
Maine Railroad for any improve- 
ment in service. The trains ought 
to appear on the summer schedule. 
The robins are about, the crocuses 
have opened and now we wait pa- 
tiently for the bloom of the tulip 
and the daffodil—then we shall 
know that the spring has come.

NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
BIG ODD FELLOW GATHERING 
AT GLOUCESTER, NEXT 
MONDAY. 
The annual visitation of District 
Deputy Grand Master Fremont S. 
Stowe of Beverly to Ocean Lodge, I. 
ip O. F., of Gloucester next Monday 
evening, gives promise of being a red 
letter event in the history of the or- 
ganization, as elaborate plans for 
the reception of the grand master 
have been entered upon, in which 
Magnolia Lodge of Manchester and 
Granite Lodge of Rockport will take 
part. 
There are so many lodges within 
the jurisdiction of the deputy grand 
master that it is impossible to visit 
them all separately, so in cases 
where it is convenient to assemble 
two or more, as in the case of 
Gloucester, Rockport and Manches- 
ter, a unity visitation program 1s 
- carried out. 
Committees from the three lodges, 
of which Hon. George E. MacDonald 
of Gloucester is chairman, have the 
arrangements in hand. 
Brown’s hall on Pleasant street 
has been secured for the occasion. 
From 7 to 7.30 o’clock there will be 
a reception in the hall, at which an 
opportunity will be afforded every 
member to meet the grand master. 
while an orchestra will furnish 
music. Following the reception, as 
this is the regular meeting night of 
Ocean Lodge, the meeting will be 
formally opened and immediately 
closed. 
After this the grand master and 
his suite will be escorted to the hall 
across the landing, where a banquet 
will be served, which will undoubt- 
edly be attended by fully 500 Odd 
Fellows. At the close of the feast- 
ing, the post prandial exercises will 
be in order. 
Charles A. Russell, Esq., will be 
toastmaster and addresses will be 
delivered by the grand master, mem- 
bers of his suite, officers and prom- 
iment members of all the lodges 
participating. This event in local 
Odd Fellowship promises to compare 
favorably with the splendid ban- 
quet, which several years ago was 
held at Webster’s hall, when that 
auditorium was an opera house. 
The Manchester Odd Fellows will 
leave on the 6.23 train for Glouces- 
ter, They will return ona special 
train leaving Gloucester at 12 
o’cloek, running to Pride’s and stop- 
ing at all stations. The round trip 
will be 50 cents.

Congratulations are again being 
extended to Mr. and Mrs. Levi A. 
Dunn in the birth of a little daughter 
Tuesday of last week to their son-in- 
law and daughter, Rey. and Mrs. A. 
E. Hersey, in Brookfield.

ning, Helen Wing and Dorothy Blais- 
dell, have issued invitations to a 
dancing party for this evening. The 
party will take place at the home of 
Miss Glendenning’s parents, Dr. and 
Mrs. R. I’. Glendenning, whose resi- 
dence contains a _ finely appointed 
dance hall.’ The recipients of invita- 
tions are anticipating a very delightful 
evening. 
As another step in the develop- 
ment and growth of the Breeze we 
are pleased to announce that we 
have this week added to our staff 
an advertising manager. The de- 
mand made upon the Breeze, es- 
pecially in summer, necessitates 
more systematic and direct atten- 
tion to this department of the busi- 
ness than the editor has been able to 
give it. Richard E. Newman of Man- 
chester will have charge of this de- 
partment. 3 
TOWN HALL—MARCH 29th FOR 
CHARITY. 
The Manchester Woman’s Club 
will give an evening’s entertainment

titled ‘“A Day Off? and ‘‘Joint

Posner, the young violinist who 
played so acceptably on Guest night 
of the elub. 
Tickets at 25 cents can be obtained 
at the next meeting of the club, Mar. 
21st, and after that at Allen’s drug 
store; all seats reserved. Home 
made candy will be sold during the 
evening. 
Town Meeting Monday Night. 
The adjourned Town Meeting will 
be held Monday evening at 7.30 in 
the Manchester Town hall. Two or 
three important matters will come 
before the meeting, including the 
matter of an appropriation for 
dredging and the report of the com- 
mittee of moving the engine house. 
We understand the state has now 
assured the town of assistance in 
dredging this year and the town is 
supposed to appropriate a sum to 
meet the requirements of the state.
