MANCHESTER WOMAN’S CLUB 
INTERESTING READINGS FRom Kip- 
LING BY LAauRA EsteLLe BLAKLEY 
Mucu ENJOYED. 
AURA ESTELLE BLAKELY, a reader 
of exceptional ability, entertained 
the members of the Manchester Wo- 
man’s club at the Congregational 
chapel in Manchester on Tuesday af- 
ternoon with choice selections from 
Kipling” s poems and stories. There 
was a large attendance of the club 
members. 
Previous to the readings a business 
session of the club was held at which 
the president, Mrs. E- S$. Knight, oc- 
cupi«. the chair. The report of the 
beach playground committee was read 
by the chairman, Mrs. George R. 
Dean, and accepted by the club with 
thanks. 
An invitation to the club to send a 
committee to the meeting held in the 
Hotel Tuileries, Boston, on Wednes- 
day of this w eck, under the auspices 
of the Woman’s American Supply 
league, to discuss methods of prevent- 
ing the spread of infantile paralysis, 
was read by the president. Although 
the club has no conservation depart- 
ment, attention was called by the 
chair to the appeal of the Forestry 
Service for assistance in suppressing 
the White Pine blister rust which 1s 
getting a foothold in Massachusetts. 
It is spread by currant and goose- 
berry bushes and the destruction of 
the bushes is urged. 
Last season at the request of the 
Parent-Teacher association the club 
extended its privileges to the two 
girls of the junior class of Story High 
school having the highest standings. 
The two young ladies, now seniors, 
who received the privilege of attend- 
ing the lectures of the club this year, 
were present Tuesday—Misses Helen 
Cheever and Ella Erickson. 
A piano solo by Mrs. Howard, a 
guest of Mrs. D. EK. O’Brien, was 
much enjoyed, 
Previous to giving 
tions of Kipling, Miss Blakely gave a 
sketch of the author’s hfe. She said 
that his “Baa Baa Black Sheep” and 
“The Light That Failed” were in a 
measure autobiographical as Kipling 
had spent part of his childhood’ days 
with an elderly aunt in England under 
circumstance akin to the stories. She 
divided his work into three classes: 
the satirical treatment of character in 
her interpreta- 
his early writings, the sympathetic 
treatment of character in his maturer 
days, which she characterized as his 
materpieces, and_ the 
vritings. She called 
James Whitcomb

NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Miss Blakely read “Fuzzy-Wuzzy,” 
“The Recessional,”’ “Tommy Atkins,” 
and other extracts from Kipling’s 
poems. She also read the story of 
“Wee Willie Winky” and the ballad, 
“The Road to Mandalay.” Other 
poems she read were “If,” “Pink 
Dominoes,” “Mother O’ Mine” and 
“Gunga Din.” 
Miss Blakely’s readings revealed 
her more than ordinary dramatic 
ability and her interpretations of the 
choice selections were highly pleasing 
to her audience. 
Following the entertainment a so- 
cial hour was enjoyed. Mrs. Cath- 
erine Campbell was hostess.
