Ethel May Allen and Percy Lee Allen, 
spent part of their-Christmas vacation in 
Magnolia with their grandparents, Mr. 
and Mrs: Jonathan May. 
The invitation dancing party given in 
the Town hall Wednesday evening by 
the senior class at the High school was a 
very pretty affair. The hall was beauti- 
fully decorated. The class numerals, 
°09, hung on the wall, outlined in ever- 
green. About 100 couples were in the 
grand march, which was lead by the 
president of the class, Miss Agnes Sjo- 
lund, and Samuel Knight, and Miss 
Mabelle Lodge, the vice president, and 
Willard Rust. The aids were Willard 
Rust, M. H. S., ’08, Byron Hobbs, ’10, 
Everett Robbins, °’1l, and Roland 
Knight, 712. Mrs. F. J. Merrill, Mrs. 
G. W. Blaisdell, Mrs. L. W. Floyd 
and Mrs. J. A. Lodge were the matrons. 
A neat little dance order, the cover de- 
sign of which was sketched by Waldo 
Peart, made a pretty souvenir of the 
affair. 
Benj. L. Allen is passing out a hand- 
some calendar to his patrons again this 
year. Memories’ is the name of the 
beautifully colored picture. 
Mrs. Mary Ann Gillis. 
The grim hand of death has entered an- 
other Manchester home the past week 
and removed from it, after a very brief 
illness, a loving motherand wife. Mrs. 
Mary Ann Gillis, wife of Archie Gillis, 
Morse’s court, passed away Tuesday at 
the age of 35 years. She had been ill 
less than a fortnight. Death resulted 
from pneumonia. 
Her death is particularly sad as ite 
leaves behind, besides her husband, three 
young children, one an infant, about two 
weeks old, a daughter, Mary Alice, 24 
years, and Joseph, 5 years. 
Born in Cavan County, Ireland, in 
1873, Mrs. Gillis came to America when 
a girl, and has spent most of her days in 
Manchester. She was of a loving and 
cheerful disposition and was highly re- 
spected by all who knew her. 
Funeral services were held ‘Thursday 
morning at her late home, at 8.30, fol- 
lowed by Requiem High Mass at the 
Sacred Heart church at 9.30, at which
