HAMPTON BRANCH RED CROSS NOTES
"Pop Concert" a Great Success.
The "Pop Concert" held on the Bennett estate on Friday last proved a great success from both an artistic and a financial standpoint. About $150. was cleared.
Miss Rose Marie Douglas gave some very clever impersonations, coming from Boston for this occasion. The artistic dancing by Miss Zyltha Woods of Portsmouth and Miss Kelliher of Dover was much admired, and the singing and violin solos by Mrs. White and Miss Mary Chase added to the enjoyment of the afternoon.
One of the most enjoyable features was the clever violin playing and the piano accompaniment by the two talented daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Nason of Hampton Beach.
Much gratitude is felt toward all who contributed in any way, and to Mrs. Bennett, who not only opened her grounds, but materially assisted in other ways.
The fete will go down in the annals of the Hampton Branch as one of the most enjoyable which has been given in the interests of the Red Cross.
The attention of all is now directed to Red Cross Day at the Beach on Friday, Sept. 6.
Will the school children help the Local Branch to make a good showing? It is very desirable that all who are physically able to march and belong to the Red Cross will do so, as the Branch having the largest number in line will receive a $50.00 Liberty Bond. As we are "on the spot" it seems that we should win it. Autos and children meet at Leavitts hotel at 2:00 p.m. Those marching meet at Cutler's hotel at the same hour. Veils will be distributed there at that time.
There will be no meeting of the Red Cross this week owing to the Carnival at the Beach, but next week two meetings will be held, on Wednesday afternoon and the other on Friday as usual.
The pledges are again due, payable to Miss Shaw at Cole's periodical store, or the other treasurer, Mr. Edwin Batchelder.
