Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Ward are

try estates in that place. They will re- 
turn to Manchester in late September for 
a few weeks before opening their town 
house. During their absence ‘The 
Lodge,’’ their cottage on Sea street, will 
be occupied by Dr. and Mrs. Charles 
Inches of Medfield. 
Ambassador Jusserand, of the French 
embassy at Washington, and Mme Jus-

the absence of the ambassador, the 
French embassy will be directed by M.

NORTH SHORE BREEZE. 
WAS A BIG SUCCESS. 
Open-Air Bazaar at Pride’s Crossing Attended 
By Thousands. 
In spite of the unfavorable conditions 
which the weather brought about, the 
open-air bazaar for the benefit of the 
Massachusetts Society for the Prevention 
of Cruelty to Children on the estate of 
Quincy A. Shaw, jr., at Pride’s Cross- 
ing Friday and Saturday of last week. 
was a big success socially and financially. 
The weather doubtless kept many away, 
but, for all that, the fashion came from 
all along the Shore, stayed long, bought 
much and, when they departed, left a 
profit of $13,200 in the tills of the bazaar. 
It is estimated that fully 5000 attended - 
the bazaar. ‘Those who attended the 
first day were so hampered in their shop- 
ping by the rain and drizzle that the man- 
agement decided late in the afternoon to 
continue the bazaar over Saturday. On 
that day the weather proved fair and the 
crowd which attended made the bazaar 
the biggest social event on the North 
Shore so far this summer. 
Pompey’s Garden was admirably suit- 
ed for the bazaar and the decorations 
were made to harmonize. “The wooden 
booths were covered with boughs of 
evergreen, spruce and cedar and each 
had a distinctive bow of ribbon set among 
the greenery. The women attending the 
booths were attractively gowned and, at 
the different stands, each set of attend- 
ants wore hats of distinctive color, 
though all were of the big picture type 
with paper ornamentation. 
The stock for sale included all kinds 
of household articles, vegetables and 
provisions, bric-a-brac, fancy novelties 
and art goods. Besides these, there was 
cake and candy and beautiful flowers 
freshly cut from nearby gardens. 
Among the attractions the Marathon 
race and the African dodger were partic- 
ularly popular. In the Marathon race, a 
multitude of little dolls dressed in various 
costumes from French gendarmes to 
Japanese porters were made to roll down 
an inclined plane and patrons found 
great fun in buying chances on which 
would first reach the bottom. 
A constant popping of rifies was heard 
all day about the shooting gallery where 
men and women tried their luck at the 
targets. Next door was acane and knife 
board where many threw rings for very 
desirable prizes with varying luck. 
Among the children the Punch and Judy 
show was perhaps the most attractive. 
Shouts of laughter came from the in- 
terior of the tent throughout the day. 
Near the Punch and Judy show was a 
large marquee, under which the Salem 
Cadet band played during the afternoon. 
One of the most striking points about 
the African dodger was: the “‘barking’’ 
of H., LeBaron Russell. Mr. Russell 
had general charge of the side-shows, 
but spent most of his time inducing pat- 
rons totry a throw at the dedger. He was 
dressed up as a Cockney coster and to 
see him was to laugh. Mr. Russeil 
made a big hit at the Holm Lea bazaar 
at Beookline last year when he appeared 
as an Italian ‘‘ hokey pokey’’ man. 
Though rainy, the day was warm and 
there was no place better patronized than 
the fishing pool and soft drinks booth. 
At the latter booth, a bunch of Ameri- 
can beauty roses, frozen ina solid cube 
of ice attracted much attention. The 
ice was clearas glass and showed off the 
flowers splendidly.
