Warm sympathy was extended last 
week to Mrs. Jacob D. Barnes upon 
the death of her mother, Mrs. Sarah 
A. Currier. Mrs. Currier was _for- 
merly a Wenhamite, and had many 
friends in town. Of late she has 
made her home at Onset. The funer- 
al service was held at the Barnes 
home Sunday afternoon, and was con- 
ducted by Rev. F. M. Cutler. Mausi- 
cal numbers were rendered by the 
Gentlee quartet. 
Joseph F. Lynch attended the boy 
Seout council in the Y. M. C. A. 
building Tuesday evening, and gave

spection of the Charlestown state

A hockey game is arranged, wea- 
ther permitting, between the Wenham 
Y. M. C. A. and the Danvers Unitar- 
ian boy scouts, to be played at Dan- 
vers next Saturday afternoon. 
Wenham lilacs and horse chestnuts 
are budding. The weather bureau 
records may not go back quite so far, 
but our ancestors had just such a 
winter at this in 1775-’76, when the 
Americans were engaged in the siege 
of Boston. 
A free lunch counter is maintained 
for the birds at the Wenham Manse. 
Last week patronage was brisk, 
amongst the hungry visitants being 
chicadees, nuthatches, downy wood- 
peckers, brown creepers and_ tree 
sparrows. 
“THE GARDEN OF ALLAH.” 
No more gorgeous and vari-colored 
picture book has ever been unfolded 
than the stage form of this famous 
romance of the desert, which is being 
presented at the Boston Theatre, be- 
fore large and deeply interested. au- 
The production proper, for 
which we are indebted to the Liebler 
Company, is a spectacle beautiful to 
behold. The play itself may be said 
to stand alone among similar dramas 
of the moment in spiritual elevation, 
for the book from which it is taken 
has a profound impression among all 
ALEM.MASS.—

those who have read it. Mr. Hichens, 
author of the novel, and Mary Ander- 
son, who assisted him in the work of 
dramatization, have proved remark- 
ably expert as playwrights. 
A monk (Boris Androvsky), tired 
of the restraint and solitude of his cell, 
and possessing all the robustness, pas- 
sion and vigor of men who live to 
love, and love to live, breaks his vow, 
escapes to the desert, meets a beauti- 
ful woman (Domini Enfilden), who 
seems to fill every desire of his body 
and soul, and who upon her discover- 
ing his idenity, forsakes her at her 
command, and returns to seclusion to 
atone for all that has gone before. 
As for the spectacle proper, it lies 
in the resplendent pictures of Eastern 
life, the camels, the dancing girls in 
Beni-Mora, their belligerent Arab 
lovers, the bleating goats and kindred 
sounds of Oriental life that strike the 
ear, the brilliant sun on the walls of 
the Monastery, and the strange lights 
that play on the sky that marks the 
far-off end of the horizon. All these 
details, together with the love of the 
amorous Domini, and the haunted 
Boris, result in a unity of picturesque 
impression that fills the eye with allur- 
ing pictures of a romantic and dis- 
tant world. During the Boston en- 
gagement, which is a limited one, mat- 
inees will be given on Wed. and Sat.
