HE INFORMAL social
events which are always
a delightful feature of
life at The Holly Inn,
were inaugurated Satur-
dflv eveniner. with a
j - a i
"Picture Party," in which many of the
Villagers joined with the guests of the
hotel. A merrier , evening has seldom
been spent, of entertainment there was
no end, and as an exemplification of just
what "arrested development" is the party
was an unqualified success.
The conditions imposed were that each
participant should draw some bird, an
imal or reptile, the subject being assigned
by lot, and the result was the imposing
of duties which taxed the wits of the ma
jority of the participants, to the intense
satisfaction of the onlookers who had
experienced a similar predicament or ex
pected to do so.
Prizes were awarded for the best and
the poorest drawings, decision being
made by vote, and for the largest number
of correct guesses as to just what the
drawings were intended to represent.
Mrs. George S. Hill of Marblehead,
Mass., and Miss Mary C Dutton of Bos
ton, won the guessing prizes, Mrs. X J ill
deciphering twenty-four and Miss Dut
ton twenty-three drawing. Dr. John
Ji. Packard of Philadelphia, took the
prize ottered for the best drawing with a
clever outline sketch of a rat, and Dr.
George S. Hill of Marblehead, Mrs. Hill,
Mrs. G. Lee Knight of Philadelphia, and
Mr. Herbert L. Jillsoa of Worcester, re
ceived "honorable mention" for draw
ings of a monkey, horseshoe crab, snake
and squirrel, respective! j
In the struggle for the consolation
prize it was a close rub, Mr. Horace F.
Sise of Medford, winning with what was
alleged to be a frpg, but this was only
because Mr. Sise is extremely popular
and not because his drawing really ex
celled. In fact, it was generally conceded
that Mr. Aug. F. JJrombacher's mosquito,
which looked more like a clothes pin
with flying machine wings than anything
else; Mrs. A. I. Creamer's deer, which
had the horns of a chamois and the head
of a horse; Mr. A. J. Gore's caterpillar,
which was an excellent representation
of the local trolley track in its present
condition, and Mrs. F. C. McNeill's spider,
which was a perfect footstool, all had
qualifications which entitled them to
more careful consideration than was
shown.
Among the drawings which were deci
pherable and at the same time ludicrous,
were Mr. G. Lee Knight's elephant, Mrs.
M. A. Crockett's giraffe, Miss M. M.
Fiske's camel, Miss Alice Dutton' s don
key, Mr. A. G. Warren's cat, and Miss
Elizabeth Olney's lion, Mrs. Fredk. L.
Betta' cow and Miss Taylor's pig.
Mr. Nathaniel F. Moore drew a butter
fly, Mrs. Moore a hippopotamus, Mr.
James N. Hosenberg a horse, Mrs. Kos
enberg a whale, Mr. Betts a rabbit, Miss
Mary Dutton an owl, Mr. W. A. John
ston a buzzard, Mrs. Johnston a stork,
Mrs. Gore an ant, and Miss Alderman a
dog, none of which could hardly be called
works of art.
As fast as the drawings were finished
they were hung upon the wall where
they could be admired and incidentally,
studied ; but up to the present writing no
request has been filed to have the collec
tion permanently preserved.
Following the party the orchestra fur
nished music for dancing which was en
joyed by the younger people.
Sunday Service.
At a meeting of those interested in the
Union Sunday services, held during the
week, it was voted to ask Bev. Henry L.
Foote of Marblehead, Mass., to take
charge of the services this season.
The regular Episcopal services were
begun last Sunday and will be held each
Sabbath morning at eleven, for the
present.
The Sunday service program at the Dick
inson Colored School is well under way.
Sunday-school and Christian Endeavor is
held at nine thirty, morning service, with
sermon at eleven, union service at three
thirty and evening sermon at eight.
A general invitation to the Villagers
to attend these services is extended and
many are availing themselves of the opportunity.
