APE ANN.—tThere was a large exit of the summer 
population on Saturday and Labor Day. The threat- 
ened strike was a bad blow for the majority of the 
hotels, for many people residing in the West, who ex- 
pected to spend September here, would not take the risk 
and consequently left early. However, September book- 
ings are somewhat encouraging. If the extreme heat of 
last September is repeated, people remaining on Cape 
Ann will feel fortunate. 
ANNISQUAM.— There was a number of departures 
during the week from the Annisquam colony, but not 
enough to make the place in the least deserted. The ma- 
jority of cottagers remain late. The Saturday afternoon 
tea and the affair in the evening, at the Annisquam Yacht 
clubhouse, was the “windup” of the social schedule of 
the club. 
Dr. Henry L. Houghton and family are occupying 
the Houghton cottage for September having returned to 
Annisquam from Boston. 
“Rocknest” cottage on Adams Hill is being occupied 
by the Ernest J. Steers, who had the Gale cottage, Annis- 
quam, through the month of August. 
Mrs. B. M. Walton and two daughters who have 
been spending August at “Rocknest,” Annisquam, have 
returned to Hartsdale, N. Y. 
Oakes Ames and family have closed their summer 
home at Bay View and returned to North Easton. 
The E. M. Haines’ of Albany, N. Y., who have been 
spending the season at Diamond Cove, Annisquam, have 
departed for their home in Albany. 
The Annual pop concert of the Annisquam Yacht 
club, held at the clubhouse on Saturday night of last 
- week, was, as usual, a grand success and more than 200 
people of the summer colony were present. The enter-

INN CASINO 
tainment was by home talent and John Thomas, humorist, 
of the Fresh Water Cove colony. Selections were rend- 
ered by the Annisquam Yacht club mandolin club and 
they were appreciated. A humorous sketch “The Em- 
ployment Bureau,” containing local hits created a great 
deal of laughter during its presentation. Mrs. William 
H. Pear had charge of the Employment Bureau and she 
was assisted by Miss Grace Allen. ‘The first applicants 
for positions were Mrs. Henry E. Worcester and Mrs. 
Walter O. Adams, as house maids. Mr. Howe, the 
employer, was seeking help for the position of longshore- 
men and a number of boys and young men applied for 
the position. Mrs. Julian Burdick, carrying a “very” 
young baby, came in search of a nurse girl. Miss Juha 
Hammond applied for this position and sang a lullaby 
very sweetly, receiving two encores. Mrs. Albert Ames, 
who came to the bureau in search of general housework, 
stated reasons for her leaving places on Cambridge ave- 
nue where she was employed and she was very amusing. 
Miss Catharine Rice secured a position as a stenographer 
with Harry B. Duane, who called at the office. Mrs. 
William M. Jelly and Mrs. Charles L. Norton were seek- 
ing a job where the two would not be separated. The 
costumes and hats of the semi-antique made the wearers 
appear rather unnatural. Other attractions on the pro- 
gram of the evening were an exhibtion of mind-reading 
by William H. Pear and son, Wesley Pear; duet, “Some- 
where A Voice Is Calling” by Mrs. S. Henry Hooper and 
Walter O. Adams; songs, Herbert Howe; recitation, 
“Gunga Din” by Rudyard Kipling, Linzee Hooper; dia- 
logue, “Mrs. Skinnywork and Mrs. Waddleums,” 
Josephine Woods and Miss Watrons. Mr. Thomas was 
given encores for his clever impersonations. The wait- 
resses were: Misses Sarah, Louise and Lloyd Schaefer, 
Pauline Smith, Joan and Dorothy Swinson, Margaret and 
Catharine Rice. Laura Bailey and Gertrude Wiggin sold 
candy, Katharine Gordon and Laura Bailey, cigarettes, 
and Helen Guiler sold flowers. Dancing followed the 
entertainment with orchestral music. 
The 13th annual meeting of the Village Hall asso- 
ciation was held in the library room on Tuesday evening 
of last week, when aside fron the reports of the com- 
mittees, a community meeting of the summer and _ per- 
manent residents was held and welfare matters discussed.
