ANNUAL GUEST NIGHT 
MANCHESTER WoMAN’s CLuB HoLps 
SuccressFuL Funcrion IN ‘Town 
HALL 
The annual guest night of the Man- 
chester Woman’s club held in the 
Town hall, Wednesday evening added 
another to the successful occasions 
which have brought together such a 
representative gathering of the towns- 
people. It was the fifth such event, 
held under the auspices of the club, 
and in many respects it was the most 
successful. 
Nearly two hundred people 
present—imembers of the club and 
their guests. Shortly before eight 
Mrs. D. T. Beaton, the president, 
stepped upon the platform and extend- 
ed words of welcome, well chosen. 
After giving notice of two important 
meetings in which the club members 
would be interested, to be held in Bos- 
ton, she announced as the entertain- 
ers of the evening the University Male 
Quartet of Boston, assisted by a read- 
er, Miss Edith Barnes Arey. 
The quartet has been heard in Man- 
chester before, being here four years 
ago at the annual guest night of the 
Woman’s club. They sang in much 
favor again this year and were warm- 
ly applauded after each number.

Their first number was “When the 
Corn is Waving.” Miss Arey then re- 
cited Richard Harding Davis’ one-act 
playlet “Miss Civilization,’ in which 
she impressed her hearers by her un- 
usual talent. The quartet followed 
with another selection, ‘““On the Sea,” 
by Dudley Buck, and as an encore they 
sang that catchy melody “Brotha 
Noah.” 
A baritone solo “On the Road to 
Mandalay” by Arthur K. Bayley of 
the quartet was rendered with much 
expression. As an encore Mr. Bay- 
ley sang “Absence.’’ The quartet fol- 
lowed with a medley of southern 
tunes. Miss Arey’s second ‘reading, 
“The Arnspicker Chickens’? was no 
less effectively given than her first. 
She was called back for an encore, 
when she recited a cute little poem: by 
Edmund Vance Cook, entitled “The 
Sin of the Coppenter.” The quartet 
then rendered “Honey I Wants Yer 
Now,” and was followed by Leon E. 
Baldwin, tenor, who sang “Maid of 
Malabar.” ‘The quartet sang “Sun- 
set,” and as an encore “Three Little 
Piggies.” Miss Arey’s closing num- 
ber was an Irish monolog, “An Irish 
Mother,’ which made a great hit. 
The quartet closed with Buck’s “Good 
Night.”

the rear of the hall were laden with 
food—salads, croquets, ices, etc., and 
the gentlemen assisted in serving the 
ladies. Schlehuber of Lynn was the 
caterer. Mrs. Geo. S. Sinnicks and 
Mrs. Ellery H. Rogers poured coffee. 
The committee in charge of the af- 
fair was the reception and hospital- 
ity committees of the club, Mrs. Fred 
J. Merrill being chairman of the lat- 
ter, and Mrs. Geo. W. Blaisdell of the 
former. ‘The ushers also assisted,—
