Special Town Meeting To morrow Night
In 1881 Melvin Parker set up shop
rather radically on the West side of
Meeting House Way, West Barn-
stable. Two other Parker stores had
been competing with each other off
and on across the street since 1855.
After the first train had reached
the village in May 1854 much bad
happened. The coaches coming
down the County Road had pretty
well petered out. Now traffic was
across Cape instead of "down." The
cranberry industry was in full swing
and the brickyard was thriving.
School began the end of August and
closed up at the cranberry picking
time to allow the children to earn a
little pocket money.
Undoubtedly, In 1881 some of
those pennle were spent on the some
twenty odd varieties of penny candy
to be found in the Old Village Store,
as they are today.
The name over the door then,
however, read M. Parker. The ori-
ginal building has changed very
little. The gralnery to the South was
an active spot for trade , as is the
gift shop which takes Its place
today. The built-in iceboxes at the
rear of the main store are still
there, with the thick bluish tinged
glass and lever type handles. Hang-
ing kerosene lamps await only the
touch of a match, and wicks and
chimneys for them can be bought
"Glrly" Murad and Mecca cigaret
posters, popular ten years after the
store was built , are hanging, now
framed, on the walls. The old red
wooden clock proclaims for all to
see, "Jolly Tar Pastime, Old
Honesty, " advertising tobacco.
Other interesting pieces are a
question-answer machine which
foretells and also shows with true
accuracy the usual questions, "Will
I marry?" etc.
The present owner, Mr. J. Pred
Carlson, makes use of the post

"Mrs. Rosen quite obviously does
a pleasant portrait without slipping
into the cloying sweetness which
sometimes mars paintings of young
girls and especially those of chil-
dren In several cases she has pro-
duced painterly backgrounds which
add considerably to the pictures as
pictures, and she has shown excel-
lent taste in her choice of frames,
generally fitting the frame to the
subject , just as she has chosen
palettes suite d to the subjects.

ing will be given by Mrs. Rosen

It will be dancing under the
Cinderella's slippers — all 200 of
them—for those who are attending
the semi-formal annual charity ball
sponsored by Hyannls Junior
Woman's Club, which will be held
tomorrow night from 9-1 at Wianno
Club.
Following the theme of Cinder-
ella's Ball, It will be complete with
a grandfather's clock ticking away
the magic hours, and Cinderella's
pumpkin coach. The coach has been
loaned for the occasion by the Ruth
Fceley School of Dance. Mrs. Fee-
ley will present a floor show at 10:30
when the group of ball-room dan-
I cers who will enter the Eastern
|Seaboard Competition in August will
present a brief revue. All those
silvery glittery slippers were pain-
stakingly gathered and glittered by
Mrs. Bruce Besse and her commlt-
Funds from this dance will go Into
a room In the basement of Hyannls
Library which will be used for chil-
dren's activities. There Is an Im-
mediate need for a larger area than
that provided by the children's read-
ing room on the main floor for the
weekly story hour sponsored in the
winter by HyannlB Woman's Club.
The group of children has grown
through the years, and it was felt
that the basement room would be
ideal. There are several changes
necessary, notably a direct exit to
the outside and these are the
changes the Hyannls Junior
Woman's Club proposes to plan afilT
carry out with the Cinderella's Ball
proceeds.
