Joseph B. Brown:

Just a year ago today all that was mortal of Joseph B. Brown was laid to rest; every honor that could be shown him as one who had served his town long and well was in evidence, but the large number of friends, words of eulogy and the quantities of beautiful flowers seen at his funeral services. After one is gone, we can sometimes judge better, the work and motives of a man; we know now and all give the credit due to Joe, that he loved his native town and he gave all the best years of his life to its service. Mistakes he may have made, as all do, but we give him now his due, as an honest, faithful man, his years of toil and service gratefully remembered.

Entertainment And Dance:

Friday evening Mr. Chester Grady gave his long anticipated concert and the large audience that filled the hall were delightfully entertained. His first number was a group of four songs with Mr. Creighton at the piano. Two beautiful bouquets of Killarney roses were presented to them from the H. T. G. club. Following these songs, were readings from his diary which he kept while on tour with Miss Elsie Janis. He took his week in Washington especially, as it was the first Armistice week including the impressive service of the burial of the "Unknown Soldier".

He then read two French Canadian Dialect poems from "The Habitant" by Drummond. After another group of songs a professional make-up table was placed in the center of the stage. He then gave a demonstration to the ladies of "how to make themselves beautiful and able to hold their husbands." His first make-up was an Irish woman, a red wig, a blue gingham dress and a white shawl making the transformation. His monologue, in this costume, of Mrs. Casey and the radio, was very humorous. Mr. Creighton played some enjoyable selections while Mr. Grady changed from the Irish woman to a society lady. His cloth of gold and black tulle evening gown, with a beautiful black plumed hat completed a costume, making him a stunning woman that would break any man's heart. His satire on a Modern Bridge Party was very clever and the knocks on the different members of the local Bridge club, were all well received. His last number was a group of old songs, sung by request. The Ladies' Aid of the Congregational church presented him with a gold piece at the conclusion of the concert. After the program, dancing was enjoyed with Berkemier's orchestra of Seabrook furnishing the music.

It is with great regret that the Hampton Branch of the Red Cross announces that Miss Chadwick, the public health nurse for the past year, is leaving on May third. She takes with her however, heartiest good wishes from all her many friends in town as she is going home to Passaic, New Jersey, to marry Mr. Roberts of Wollaston, Mass. She has been untiring in her efforts to further the cause of public health. Her position as school nurse has enabled her to assist Mr. Moore whose hearty cooperation has meant so much during the year. In Miss Chadwick we have had a nurse whose cheerful efficiency and quiet personality have done much to keep up the high standard of the work in Hampton and of the American Red Cross whom she represents. She is leaving many friends and finishing a year wherein much has been accomplished and much has been started. Perhaps the highest tribute is to say that she is leaving behind her a great incentive to carry on her good work.

Mrs. Flora Joplin Feeney of Haverhill has been called to Hampton because of the illness of her mother, Mrs. Abbott Joplin.

Orleans boasts of its Joseph Lincoln, Indianapolis and Kennebunk, of Booth Tarkington, but we in Hampton, because he is one of us, rarely realize we have a writer of note in our midst. Mr. Richard Shelton walks among us and talks with us, but sometimes we little realize the number of his stories we are reading because he uses so many nom-des-plumes. Last month in the "American" he wrote under "Richard Barker". This month as John Barton Oxford. He may want to hide the light of his identity under a bushel of odd names, but Hampton, proud of her son of fame, will uncover them.
