SOCIETY NOTES 
Tk death of Count Sergius Julovich Witte, Russia’s 
first prime minister, last week, recalls to the minds 
of North Shore people the visit of that remarkable 
man to this country in 1905, when he was at Manches- 
ter, with Baron Rosen, then ambassador from Russia 
to this country. He was here as one of the Russian 
plenipotentiaries at Portsmouth, N. H., in the negotia- 
tions of peace with Japan. During his stay here he 
was much entertained by members of the summer col- 
ony. The ambassy was established that year on Cool- 
idge’s Point. Count Witte was regarded as in some 
respects one of the most remarkable men his country 
has produced, but his reputation was even greater 
abroad than at home. His chief fame in Russia rests 
upon his development of manufacturing industries, the 
expansion of railroads and the placing of the mone- 
tary system upon a gold basis.

W. Harry Brown of Pittsburg, Pa., has purchased 
for occupancy the summer estate of Mrs. George S. 
Mandell on Prince street, Cushing Point, Beverly. The 
Browns occupied the Dudley Pickman gray cottage 
at Beverly Cove in 1912, and were visitors to the North 
Shore previous to that. The property comprises eight 
or nine acres of ground. On it are a mansion house, 
overlooking Hospital Point, a stable, garage, cottage 
and other buildings, with a tennis court and gardens. 
Some of the adjoining estates are Miss Fanny Powell 
Mason’s, which the English ambassador, Sir Cecil 
Spring-Rice, has taken for the summer; William A. 
Slater’s, Guy Norman’s, Bryce Allan’s, Mrs. Howland 
Shaw’s, the Proctor estate and Dr. Franklin Dexter’s. 
T. Dennie Boardman, Reginald Boardman and R. de B. 
Boardman were the brokers in the transaction.

from four until six o’clock at their residence, 1 East

nature of a housewarming, as it was the first event 
they have given since taking possession of their new 
home. The Fricks will open their house at Pride’s 
Crossing early in May.

ready favorably known to Boston music connoisseurs,

pearance at Steinert hall gained such popularity for 
him, will play once more. Miss Rosalie Miller is the 
new artist on the program and her initial appearance 
in Boston is arousing considerable anticipation. She
