A Communication 
Editor of the North Shore Breeze : 
Why not suggest through your 
columns that the Historical Society 
of Manchester take steps to renno- 
vate the monument to the lieutenant 
who died in colonial days en route to 
his ship in Gloucester. The inscrip- 
tion is almost obliterated and if the 
letters were cut in and then painted 
white the records would always be 
preserved. The stone is in the Town- 
ship of Manchester and it seems a 
shame that it has been neglected.

Fair for the Women’ Club House 
The fair in aid of the \Women’s 
Club house at Magnolia was held on 
Wednesday of this week in the newly- 
finished club house, and was patron- 
ized by all Magnolia and the vicinity. 
Frem 10 in the morning until 10 at 
night people streamed in that direc- 
tion in autos, carriages and on foot, 
and few went empty away. The re- 
ceipts were about $675, nearly all of 
which is net, and $136.50, received 
from another source about to be men- 
tioned, brings the receipts thus far up 
to about $800 of the $2,000 needed. 
The other source mentioned is the 
sale held by five girls on Tuesday. 
The Misses Isabella Wadsworth, Ce- 
cile Howell, Helen Wheelock, Mar- 
garet Crocker and Lavinia Janes had 
desired to do their part to advance 
the cause of the club house independ- 
ently, and the event showed the wis- 
dom of their scheme. They were 
busily engaged for several weeks in 
making things, and Tuesday afternoon 
they held a sale on the lawn of the 
Perkins cottage. When they had 
practically sold out, they went to the 
club house and counted the big pile of 
bills and change which their wares 
had brought, and found it to contain 
$135, which a later sale brought up 
to $136.50, This was handed to Mrs. 
Foster, the matron, with just pride as 
their contribution to the Women’s 
Club house. It was an auspicious 
beginning of the fair, which was 
opened at 10.30 the next morning. 
Saleable articles for the various 
tables had poured in steadily all day

Tuesday, and on Wednesday morning 
the ladies in charge of the tables found 
abundant material to their hand for 
tempting displays, which they made 
good use of, with the result that the 
rooms looked most attractive. The 
handsome flower table on the left of 
the hall was in charge of Miss Sands 
and Miss Felton, who were efficiently 
aided by Miss Austin and Mrs. James 
S. Lee. The candy table adjacent 
was under the management of the 
Misses Covel, and the cake table of 
Miss Baldwin, Mrs. Alex. Wadsworth 
and Miss Bigelow. The various tables 
of fancy and household articles were 
presided over by Mrs. F. F. Story, 
Miss Singleton, Mrs. W.-R. Boyd, 
Miss Libby and Miss Amy Lycett, 
assisted by others through the day. 
Miss Winslow sold postal cards, and 
Mrs. Michael Kehoe and Miss Evelyn 
Turner did an amazing business in 
‘‘mysteries.’’ The refreshments were 
in charge of Mrs. B. Manfred Thorn- 
berg, assisted by Mrs. Wellington and 
Mrs. Duncklee and Misses Story and 
Sanborn. The rug man was there, 
too, with a showy display of costly 
Oriental fabrics, to be sold on com- 
mission, which added much to the 
attractiveness of the club-room. 
The crowds came early. The affair 
was under distinguished patronage, 
the printed list containing fifty of the 
well-known people on the North Shore, 
and among the names sent too late for 
publication were those of Baroness de 
Rosen, Mrs. Augustus P. Gardner 
and Mrs. Ernest Longfellow. The 
object for which the house has been 
built has general approbation and rich 
and poor united in aiding it. . 
The members of the club them- 
selves held sway in the evening. A 
part of the flowers, cake and candy 
was auctioned off. One member qui- 
etly told fortunes in a corner ‘‘to help 
along.’”’ This was the prevailing spirit : 
‘What can I do to help?” It is hoped 
that subscriptions for shares will dur- 
ing the next fortnight bring the re- 
ceipts up toward the $2,000 needed.
