BEVERLY FARMS 
One evening of this week several of 
the friends of Miss Alice A. Preston 
met to pay her a farewell visit in her 
Chelsea home. They had a jolly time 
playing games, etc. Toward the lat- 
ter part of the evening, two of the gen- 
tlemen brought in a queer looking af- 
fair decorated with white crepe paper 
and numerous red hearts. This the 
gentlemen in a neat speech presented 
to Miss Preston and bade her investi- 
gate. It proved to be a wash boiler, 
the forerunner of the “tin shower” 
which followed. Each article was ac- 
companied by an appropriate rhyme 
which she was asked to read. Some 
of these were quite ‘‘pat”’ as, for in- 
stance, tied to the tin dipper was: 
“Here you have the missing link, 
between the boiler and the sink.” 
With the boiler was the following poem 
which is at least true to life: 
No matter wat may come that day, 
Everything else must give right way, 
On Wash Day. 
Breakfast is late and dinner small, 
And sometimes there is none at all, 
On Wash Day. 
And when the good man comes to dinner, 
I always pity him, poor sinner! 
On Wash Day. 
The soup is burnt, the meat half done, 
And wife has lost all of her fun, 
On Wash Day. 
Now, my dear friends, don’t you do so; 
Just take your time and go it slow, 
On Wash Day. 
Just take your time and be no toiler, 
And always use a good wash boiler, 
On Wash Day.

There has been formed a Young 
Men’s Catholic union composed of the 
young men connected with St. Mar- 
garet’s parish with headquarters in the 
newly-constructed basement of the 
church. The object of the union is in 
part sociability, and with the idea of 
furnishing comfortable quarters with 
plenty of good reading matter and 
games to keep the yourg man from 
spending his spare time on the street. 
An excellent set of rules and by-laws 
have been adopted, and the regular 
business meetings will be held twice 
amonth. The officers chosen for one 
year are as follows: Pres., Jeremiah 
Toomey ; vice-pres., Dr. John J. Rear- 
don ; secretary, Joseph A. Connolly ; 
fin sec. and treas., Michael J. Rear- 
don; and also a board of directors. 
The union starts off with splendid 
prospects, having already a member- 
ship of 45. 
Owing to the high price of provi- 
sions those who take in boarders say 
that they will be obliged to raise their 
charges.
