HE crowning event of the summer, the “Italian Festa,” 
under the patronage of their excellencies, the Italian 
ambassador and Countess Dolores Macchi di Cellere, will 
be held at Lookout Hill, Gloucester, the sumer home of 
Mr. and Mrs. John Hays Hammond, Wednesday after- 
noon, Aug. 25, from 3 to 6 o’clock. That it will be the 
iwost brilliant affair of the season is assured from the 
fact that everybody is in it from Nahant to Cape Ann. 
While the festa lasts but three hours, it is certain of a 
financial success, for it is given to raise funds to aid the 
wives and children of New England Italian reservists who 
heve returned to fight for their native land. It is open 
to the general public, admussion being $3 for adults and $1 
for children. The grounds of the Hammond hore have 
been beautifully planned and decorated for the event by 
Eric Pape, the Boston artist, and Mrs. Maynard Ladd, 
the sculptor of Boston and Manchester. Everything has 
been done to give an out-door representation of a classic 
theater scene at about the end of the 16th century period. 
The stage around which the dances will be given will have 
rich tapestries for a back ground, and two pure white 
statues loaned by Mrs. Ladd will grace each side. Around 
the statues will be water and red flowers, the whole repre- 
senting the Italian colors, red white and green. ‘Tall gilt 
pillars around the stage will be hung with laurel.  Car- 
bone of Boston has loaned handsome vases. All of the 
artists: “haye. gtven) their. “services. for | the. benent
