NTERESTING plans are _ being 
made for the second annual ex- 
hibit of Manchester “beach” children’s 
handiwork and field day sports to be 
held on the Common the last week of 
August. The work was started last 
year by the Manchester Woman's 
club when they provided an instructor 
for the children at Singing Beach. 
The same instructor, Miss Jean Dal- 
lett of Philadelphia, has carried on 
the work for the past two months. 
Miss Dallett is a graduate of the Sar- 
gent school in Boston of the class of 
r915. A day’s program on the beach 
includes games which open at ten in 
the morning. After an hour of lively 
exercise the little ones settle down in 
the cool pavilion and do embroidery 
work, sewing cards, ete. Miss Dallett 
has the noon hour to herself and us- 
ually carries her luncheon to the 
beach. The children come back after 
their luncheon, many more coming as 
a rule in the afternoon, and games 
are again enjoyed until two, when 
they have their swim. From 2 .30 to 
3.30 occupation il work is again in 
order. This is followed by folk danc- 
ing and games until 4.45. Rather a 
full day! Anyone can see that it 
pays if a visit to the beach is made 
and the interested children grouped 
around Miss Dallett are watched. 
Much of the occupational work con- 
sists of embroidery, sewing cards, 
paper folding, knitting, the construc- 
tion of kites, bird houses, dressing 
dolls, and making shell pictures. The 
last is original with Miss Dallett, who 
tries to adapt all of the work to a sea- 
shore environment. The children 
gather tiny bits of shells and paste 
them on cards in figure construction.

Tomorow’s ball game between 
Manchester and the Lead-Lined Pipe 
Co. of Wakefield should be a.snappy 
affair if there is anything to the 
claims of the Wakefield team. They 
claim to have the “finest semi-pro 
baseball attraction on the road this 
season.” Allowing something for 
local pride, they still must have some- 
what of a team to set forth its quali- 
ties in such glowing terms. At the 
pace Manchester is going just at pres- 
ent it takes better than the best to win 
from the local team.
