“Dee. 10, 1915. - 
WENHAM 
~ On Wednesday and Thursday oc- 
' curred the annual Christmas fair of 
the Ladies Society in the Town hall. 
A baby show occupied Wednesday 
afternoon, with prizes for very young 
people who excelled in various. lines. 
_ Each evening was marked by an en- 
-tertainment, the one on Thursday, 
under the management of Mrs. Al- 
Prmeritacy,. being entitled 
; fieecanta ;Claus Land.” 
_ The ladies’ fairs are always popular 
and well patronized. 
- Competition has at last appeared 
» for the Bay State’s Wenham line. A 
_ handsome jitney now makes the run 
at convenient intervals. 
It so seldom happens in smaller 
- towns that bright young people are 
able to remain at home after training 
- themselves for a large work in the 
_ world, that when it does happen, it 1s 
worthy of mention. This year two 
ef Wenham’s young ladies are teach- 
_ ing school sufficiently near home for 
them to keep in close touch with town 
' life—Miss Louise Patch and Miss 
_ Mildred Perkins. And most recently 
Roland Patch has received an ap- 
_ pointment to teach agricultural botany 
at the Danvers agricultural school, 
- and so will be enabled to resume his 
helpful relations to Wenham institu- 
tions. 
__ Next Monday the Wenham Men's 
club will meet and listen to Gen. Pew 
) on “Preparedness.” By way of va- 
riety there will be a two-man min- 
 strel show presented. 
On Thursday the Village Improve- 
ment society are to give a musicale at 
the home of E. R. Anderson. The 
two previous occasions of the kind 
are sufficient guarantee that this will 
be well worth while. As the new tea 
house grows toward completion, the 
members, in groups, are busily at 
work to ensure that there will be am- 
_ ple funds wherewith to pay the build- 
ers’ charges. Miss Burnahm feels 
that she is at the head of a very live 
_ organization. 
At the Congregational church Sun- 
day morning the minister, Rev. F. M. 
Cutler, will be the preacher. Sun- 
day School at noon. Junior C. E. at 
eee S.C. Fr. at 6. 
The department of Bible study will 
be in charge of the 7 o’clock service, 
as the concluding number of their 
Bible reading series, and expect to 
present as preacher, Rev. Joseph L. 
Hoyle of Hamilton, on the theme, 
“Why Study the Bible.”
