man Hoyt of New York and Thomas H. Frothingham

The Boston Castle House has severed its connec- 
tion with Castle House, New York, through the resigna- 
tion of Mrs. Freeman, who has accepted a similar 
position in New York, and for this reason a new name 
has been given, the Toy Theatre ballroom. Miss Souther 
will have entire charge, henceforth and she will be 
assisted by Mrs. Follen Cabot and Miss Elizabeth Jones 
and the same two young men, who have been here 
as instructors and dancing partners since the open- 
ing of the ball-room. ie 
The Massachusetts Anti-Suffrage  association’s 
play, ‘‘The Royal Family,’’ which was given for the 
first time yesterday afternoon at the Colonial theatre 
and which will be repeated this afternoon, is a brilliant 
success and has netted large receipts for the cause it 
represents. There is a long list of committees, includ- 
ing many North Shore girls, who served tea in the 
theatre lobby yesterday and more who are going to do 
so today, and of matrons, many of whom are so well 
known in North Shore eirecles. Among the last are: 
Mrs. Harcourt Amory, Miss Mary F. Bartlett, Mrs. 
Walter C. Baylies, Mrs. Boylston A. Beal, Mrs. Robert 
S. Bradley, Mrs. S. Parker Bremer, Mrs. I. Tucker 
Burr, Mrs. George H. Carter, Mrs. Harold J. Coolidge, 
Mrs. J. Randolph Coolidge, Jr., Mrs. Charles P. Curtis, 
Jr., Mrs. John S. Curtis, Mrs. Roger W. Cutler, Mrs. 
Franklin Dexter, Mrs. Prilip Dexter, Mrs. William ©. 
Endicott, Jr.. Mrs. Thomas B. Gannett, Mrs. Reginald 
Gray, Mrs. Russell Gray, Mrs. Curtis Guild, Mrs. Fran- 
eis L. Higginson, Mrs. Clement S. Houghton, Mrs. James 
Lawrence, Jr., Mrs. William Caleb Loring, Mrs. Samuel 
J. Mixter, Mrs. E. Preble Motley, Mrs. W. Rodman 
Peabody, Mrs. Dudley L. Pickman, Mrs. Neal Rantoul, 
Mrs. Leverett S. Tuckerman, Mrs. C. Minot Weld and 
Mrs. Barrett Wendell, Jr. 
The architects are busy again making plans of 
Copley Square. There has been enough architectural 
talent wasted on that square to plan a dozen cities of 
Boston’s size, and still nothing is done.
