SOCIETY NOTES 
EMBERS of the diplomatic corps of the various 
nations represented at Washington are not set- 
tled as to where they will go for the summer. While 
the North Shore has been the Mecea of a big propor- 
tion of the embassies and legations in recent years, it 
is evident there will be fewer of them here this year 
than usual. The condition of affairs in Kurope will 
cause most of them to remain in close touch with 
Washington and it is likely that those who do lease 
summer cottages will colonize, the Allies in one group 
and the other powers in another. The British Ambassa- 
dor has leased a place in Pride’s Crossing. Representa- 
tives of the Italian embassy were on the Shore Wed- 
nesday and it is possible they will take a place either 
at Manchester or Beverly Farms. The French em- 
bassy, it is understood, are also thinking of leasing a 
place on the North Shore. The Austro-Hungarian 
Ambassador, Dr. Dumba, who become much attached 
to Manchester during his two years’ stay here, has 
intimated that he will not come to the North Shore 
this year.

Mrs. Augustus Stellwag of New York and Paris, 
whose husband died a year ago in Paris, has leased

the Boardman office of Boston and Manchester.

The new cottage of Mr. and Mrs. KE. Lawrence 
White at Beverly Farms makes an attractive addition 
to the year-round residences in this part of the North 
Shore. The Whites have been occupying the Alanson 
L. Daniels property, off Valley st., but they will be 
established in their new home presently. Some time ago 
they purchased the land and buildings owned by the 
Elliott heirs, and since then improvements to the 
property have been in progress. The house is painted 
white and is decidedly English in exterior appearance. 
Mrs. White was Miss Harriet Lancashire, eldest daugh- 
ter of Dr. and Mrs. J. H. Lancashire, who own a summer 
home at Manchester.

Announcement has been made from London of the 
marriage there Monday of Miss Evelyn Curtis of Boston 
and Second Lieutenant Harry Gustav Byng, who is one 
of the English officers at the front. Miss Curtis is the 
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Allen Curtis (Evelyn 
Weston) of 191 Beacon st., whose summer home is at 
Beverly Farms. Lieutenant Byng 1s the third son of 
the late Mr. and Mrs. G. Byng. During the years 1910 
and 1912 he was a student at Harvard, where he took a 
special course in electrical engineering, and it is his 
knowledge of this art that is being put to eood use 
while serving in the European war. It was while a 
student here that he met Miss Curtis, and their engage- 
ment was announced the end of May last year. Miss 
Curtis sailed for England early in March. The cere- 
mony was performed by Rev. Edgar Strydon in St. 
Mary’s chureh, Bryanstone 8q., London, which is close 
to the home of Mr, Byng’s parents.
