Pretty CostuME Bay 
The costume party given in the 
Manchester Town hall last Friday 
evening by Miss Helene Sherman and 
Mrs. Frederick L. Smith was one of 
the most enjoyable dancing parties of 
the season. A green lattice with two 
doorways separated the upper part 
oi the hall from the lower and pro- 
vided a popular sitting-out room. The 
lattice formed the principal part of 
the decorations although grey crepe 
paper was strung from the chande- 
liers added to the effect. Nearly 
seventy of the young people in town 
attended the dance and there were 
many charming costumes. Among 
the prettiest was that of Miss Antoi- 
nette Videl, a French flower girl of 
the Marie Antoinette period. Miss 
Frances Norrie’s costume of a shep- 
herdess was also very dainty. Miss 
Bertha Haskell, Miss Alice Sargent, 
Miss Marjorie Sargent, Miss Molly 
McNeary and Miss Elizabeth Leth- 
bridge wore striking colonial cos- 
tumes; Mrs. Frederick Smith, one of 
the hostesses of the party, represented 
night and her gown of black voile, 
draped with beaded marquisette was 
very effective. Among the others 
present in costumes were Miss Gladys 
Semons, Indian maid; Miss Pauline 
Semons, Miss Edith Menkin and

Among the best of the young men’s 
costumes was that of Winthrop 
Younger who represented Father 
Time; Frederick Smith as the town 
constable, was most successful. Wil- 
liam Angus as a Scotch lad; George 
Beaton and Gordon Northrup as 
country boys; Gordon Cool as a bell 
boy; George Fleming, Irving and 
Harry Baker as Boy Scouts, Aldis 
Flint as a cadet; Rufus Long as a 
West Point cadet; Frank Floyd rep- 
representing the Sons of Veterans; 
and Bertram Allen as a summer fel- 
low were among the others in cos- 
tume. 
Mrs. Fred K. Swett is spending the

It is a sad commentary on the pa- 
triotism of American citizens that all 
efforts have failed in the attempt to 
raise enough funds to preserve as a 
memorial to Francis Scott Keyes the 
house where he lived for more than 
twenty years at Georgetown, D. C. 
Although it would seem most appro- 
priate to preserve this structure, it 
will give place shortly to a modern 
building. ‘The Star Spangled Ban- 
ner,’ however, is a more lasting me- 
morial than any house, even though 
the associations of his residence might 
be an inspiration to pilgrims to the 
place.
