MANCHESTER 
——— 
Miss Edith’ Butler of Danvers is 
the guest of Miss Annabelle Lodge, 
Bennett street. 
Mrs. Manuel Miguel is confined to 
the house because of a broken ankle, 
the result of a fall Wednesday even- 
ing. 
The entertainment feature of the 
meeting of the Pilgrim Fathers next 
Monday evening will be a Christmas 
tree. 
Mr. and Mrs. Douglas McKim are 
occupying the lower apartment of the 
Gorman house Central street, formerly 
occupied by Walter Burgess and fam- 
ily. 
A workman on the G. R. White es- 
tate, Smith’s Point, Gregory Connolly 
of Beverly Farms, slipped on the ice 
yesterday morning and dislocated his 
shoulder. A doctor was called and it 
was necessary to administer ether be- 
fore the bone was replaced. 
We have heard it reported that 
some move will be made at the coming 
town ‘meeting in March to have a gas 
system in the Town of Manchester. 
This is one of the few towns in the 
county without a gas system. So much 
fault is being found with the electric 
power that much support would 
be given any movement to introduce 
gas into the town, both for heating 
and lighting purposes. 
Manchester Woman’s Club 
An unusually large attendance was 
present at Tuesday’s meeting of the 
Manchester Woman’s club at the Con- 
gretational chapel. Mrs. D. Abe 
Beaton called the meeting to order at 
3.30 and announced that the business 
would be postponed until after the 
program, the first number of which 
was a violin solo by Miss Marian 
Scott, accompanied by G. Allyn 
Brown. Miss Scott played unusually 
well and was rewarded by enthusias- 
tic applause. 
Miss Irene Bewley of Boston was 
reader for the afternoon and she 
gave an amusing little reading, phe 
Mission Box That Scandalised the 
Village,” before rendering her four- 
act monologue, “Esmerelda.” ‘The 
plot of “Esmerelda” was that of a 
North Carolina family becoming sud- 
denly wealthy through a vein of iron 
ore appearing on their rather barren 
farm. Mrs. Rogers, the real head of 
the family, has social aspirations and 
sells the little farm that she and her 
husband and daughter may live in 
“style.” The life of the American 
family in Paris is humorously and, at 
times, pathetically, narrated. Mr. 
Rogers and Esmerelda, who are at 
heart “home folks,” are not happy in 
their new life and the discovery that 
their money has disappeared and the 
apearance of Dave Hardy, Esmerel- 
da’s old lover, upon the scene straight- 
ens things out so that the ending is 
entirely happy for all except Mrs. 
Rogers, perhaps, whose schemes for 
marrying her daughter to a marquis 
have failed. 
Miss Bewley’s expressiveness of face 
and figure, made the monologue ex- 
ceptionally graphic and her presenta- 
tion of the various characters won 
much praise and applause for her. 
After the business meeting the sec- 
retary’s report was read and accepted 
and the President read an announce- 
ment of a Child Welfare conference 
to be held at Stoneham next Tuesday, 
January 14. A motion was made and 
carried that a delegate be appointed 
by the chair to attend the conference 
and Mrs. Hattie Baker was chosen 
to represent the club.
