NORTH SHORE 
Vol. 
XIII 
SOCIETY NOTES 
CTIVE inquiries are being made for summer cot- 
tages all along the North Shore, say real estate 
men. Every indication points to a busy season at all 
the New England resorts. From Newport to Bar Har- 
bor, reports reach us directly and indirectly, from 
real estate agents, hotel managers, and from cottagers 
themselves, and everything seems to point to a season 
of unusual activity. People who are accustomed to cee) 
to Europe in summer will be unable to do so this year, 
and there are other reasons contingent on the conflict 
in Europe which will keep people on this side of the 
Atlantic—and New England as the summer play- 
ground of America will be the mecca of these throngs 
this year. The North Shore as the garden spot of the 
entire section of the resort field, will be the center of 
the fashion of the world; there is no question as to 
that. 
Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Fitch, Jr., came down from

Mr. and Mrs. Philip Sears of Boston and Pride’s 
Crossing are leaving for the West, Monday, having 
postponed the date of their departure because of the

Mrs. Clarence Moore and her daughter, Miss Fran- 
ces Moore, who left Washington Monday for Palm 
Beach, where they will spend the remainder of the win- 
ter, are planning to pass a long season at their estate 
at Pride’s Crossing next summer. Miss Moore has been 
one of the most successful of the debutantes at Wash-

He won ribbons in 
every class in which he was entered and also the Mot- 
ley cup, the big prize of the day. Miss Bradley has 
been dividing her congratulations with her sister, Mrs. 
Roger W. Cutler, one of the most attractive of the 
North Shore young matrons, to whose splendid horse- 
-manship much of the triumph that Baychester won is 
due. Miss Alice Thorndike was prominent in the events 
of the day. Among some of the spectators were: Mrs. 
Gordon Abbott with her daughter, Miss Eleanor, Fred- 
erick R. Sears and his daughter, Miss Eleanora Sears,

meeting at the Algonquin club in Boston, on Wednes- 
day afternoon. It was a great success, with a brilliant

North Shore society is looking forward with pleas-

hall, Boston, on the eighteenth of March. The pro- 
ceeds of the performance will be given to The Ingle- 
side Home Training School for Girls, of Revere, and 
The Neighborhood club of Jamaica Plain. The Foot- 
light club is one of the oldest clubs of amateurs in the 
country, with a long history of successes to its eredit, 
and the present play gives promise of measuring up 
to the high standard for which the club is famous. 
After the performance there will be informal dancing, 
which will add to the pleasure of the evening. It is 
expected that a number of parties will be made up by 
the all-the-year-round residents of the fashionable
