W.R. C. ENTERTAINMENT 
An entertainment was given in the 
Town hall Wednesday evening under 
the auspices of the Manchester W. R. 
C.° A program of vocal and instru- 
mental music was given prior to the 
presentation of a farce, “How the 
Story Grew,” in which the following 
characters appaered: 
Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Nellie Smith 
Mrs. Green, Mrs. Carrie Cook 
Mrs. Bean, Mrs. Mary Lane 
Mrs. Rice, Miss Theresa D’Entremont 
Mrs. Doolittle, Mrs. Mary Lucas 
Mrs. Snow, Miss Annie Younger 
Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. Isabelle Stanley 
Mrs. White, Mrs. Mary Allen 
As the name suggests the story of 
the farce was that of “gossip,” and it 
was full of humor from start to fin- 
ish, as many funny complications 
arose as the play advanced. All the 
parts were well taken. 
The rest of the program included: 
Piano solo, Miss Lillian Lucas; sing- 
ing, “Doan ye Cry ma Honey,” High 
School Girls’ Glee club; reading, Miss 
Beatrice Brown of Salem; vocal solo, 
Miss Cornell of Beverly Farms; piano 
solo, Miss Lations; vocal solo, Mrs. 
Frank G. Cheever; reading, Miss 
Brown; vocal solo, Miss Cornell; song, 
glee club. 
The readings of Miss Brown and 
the selections by the Glee club were es- 
pecially well rendered, and all the num- 
bers of the program were well given. 
The entertainment was given for 
the benefit of the relief fund of the 
W.R.C. Mrs. J. S. Reed was chair- 
man of the committee in charge. 
Dancing brought the evening to a 
close, with music furnished by Ar- 
thur Lodge, pianist, and Joseph Carey, 
violinist. 
Mother (entering bedroom)—Why 
children, what are crying for? 
Bobby—I wanna dink. 
Mother—Well, I'll get you a drink. 
Elsie, what are you crying for? 
Elsie—You didn’t hear Bobby, 
mamma, so I was helping him cry—

A FAMILIAR QUOTATION 
ORIGIN OF “NOTHING VENTURE, 
NoTtTHING Gain,” TRacED To Port 
Answering a query as to the cor- 
rect form of the quotation, variously 
expressed, “Nothing venture, nothing 
win,” or “Nothing venture, nothing 
gain,” the Chicago News says: 
Strictly speaking, neither is correct 
as a quotation. ‘!ne original phrase 
was used by the English poet Thomas 
Tusser, who died in 1580, in his “Five 
Hundred Points of Good Husbandry” 
he said, “Naught venture, naught 
have,’ but much use has changed the 
phrase to a more euphonious form. 
Of the two forms named “Nothing 
venture, nothing win,” is the one more 
generally accepted. Bartlett in his 
well-known dictionary of quotations 
gives it as a proverb, but he does not 
give “Nothing venture, nothing gain.” 
BricHt DEFINITION 
A teacher asked a boy the differ- 
ence between an island and a penin- 
sula. The boy replied “Take a glass 
of water and a glass of milk. Catch 
a fly and put it in the water; it will 
be an island, because it is entirely 
surrounded by water. Put it in the 
milk and it will be a peninsular, be- 
cause it is nearly surrounded by wa- 
ter.’—Judge. 
BETWEEN Two LovEs . 
Mother (after reading pathetic 
story)—Now, Reggie, wouldn’t you 
like to give your bunny to that poor 
little boy you saw today who hasn’t 
any father? 
Reggie (clutching rabbit) Couldn’t 
we give him father instead ?—Punch. 
Wise OLD OWL 
Socrates being asked whether it 
were better to marry or not to marry, 
replied: “Whichever you do, you will 
regret it.”
