THE engagement of Miss Hope Norman, daughter of 
Mr. and Mrs. Guy Norman of Beverly Cove, and 
Elhot Bacon of Boston, son of Hon. Robert Bacon, 
formerly secretary of state, has been announced, coming 
‘aS a surprise to relatives here and members of the 
winter colony. Mr. and Mrs. Norman, with their 
daughter, are passing the winter in Aiken, 8. C., whence 
came the announcement of the engagement. The 
Normans have an estate also at Newport. Mr. Norman

improvements on the Norman residence and to an- 
nounee his candidacy for the nomination of congress-

William Rosewell Wilson of Boston, for many 
years a summer resident of Nahant, died Monday night 
at his Nahant cottage, a house of Colonial type on 
Nahant road, corner of Ocean st. He was supposed to 
be recovering well from an attack of pneumonia, with 
which he was taken ill some weeks ago, but a sudden 
weakness of heart developed, and he failed to rally 
from it. Mr. Wilson, contrary to his custom, was 
spending the winter months at Nahant, together with 
his wife.

As announced in this column several weeks ago, the 
Thomas McKee estate at Beverly Farms has been sold, 
and, as intimated at the time, former Senator Albert J. 
Beveridge, of Indiana, is the purchaser. The property, 
located near the center of Beverly Farms, is known as 
‘‘Selwood’’ (a combination of two family names—— 
Sellers and Wood), has a large stone house of English 
Gothic design from plans by Guy Lowell; a stable and 
garage, and there is a small pond, garden and fine 
tennis courts. 
was one of the first stone mansions for summer occu- 
paney on the North Shore. It adjoins the George A. 
Goddard place (formerly the Sewall place), and stands 
high among fine trees. The pond is a natural one, but 
its shores have been greatly improved and beautified. 
The house is picturesque in appearance with its red 
slate roof, showing numerous gables, Elizabethan win- 
dows with small panes, heavily leaded, and other orna- 
mental features in keeping with the general plan. There . 
are 25 or more rooms in the house, mostly of large 
dimensions. The stable is commodious and designed to 
conform, generally, with the house. The garden terrace 
was made by blasting solid rock and blasting was 
necessary also before the tennis court was built. At the 
time it was built by Mr. McKee of Pittsburgh, the house 
cost more than $125,000, and although work was not 
started until August, the house was practically finished 
in the following May, 1904, an exceptionally quick 
execution of the plans. The new owners will take occu- 
pancy for the summer early in May, it is understood. 
The Beveridges had a house at Manchester last year.
