Miss Edith Brayton Briggs gave a 
delightful rendering of Maeterlinck’s 
“Mary Magdalene” at last Sunday 
evening’s service at the Village 
church. Miss Briggs is a graduate 
of the Leland Powers S¢thool, Bos- 
ton, and is in great demafid as a 
reader, never failing to hold her audi- 
ence, whether she reads comedy or 
tragedy. In “Mary Magdalene” she 
was at her best, and her portrayal of 
the character of Mary, one of the 
foremost women in the Bible was ex- 
cellent.

As ‘to Use oF Essex County 
BEACHES. 
From a Boston paper we reprint 
the following concerning the Man- 
chester-Gloucester representative to 
the General Court: 
The agitation begun by former 
Mayor Harry C. Foster of Glouces- 
ter to conserve the rights of “all the 
people” in the use of Essex County 
beaches assumed a definite course of 
procedure Saturday when the legis- 
lative committee on harbors and pub- . 
lic lands reported to the Legislature 
a resolve directing an investigation 
into the matter by the harbor and 
land commission. 
According to former Mayor Fos- 
ter, who is now a member of the 
Legislature, the exclusive society 
that patronizes Magnolia, Manches- 
ter-by-the-Sea, Rockport and Bever- 
ly have usurped the beaches and 
have denied the use of them to the 
people who are less fortunate in 
worldly possessions. 
“The monarchs of society have 
purchased property adjoining beaches 
Notary Public 
and have built up costly estates,’ Re- 
presentative Foster says, “and they 
have gradually encroached upon the 
public beaches. The poor people 
who go down to the North Shore for 
a Sunday’s outing are denied the 
right to bathe. It is my contention 
that the beaches are public property 
and that society, therefore, has no 
lawful right to usurp the beaches for 
their exclusive use.” 
Under the terms of the resolve the 
harbor and land commission will 
conduct an investigation to determine 
if public property has been usurped 
and if the people are being denied 
their legal right to use the beaches.
