Secretary of War Wm. H. Taft, 
spoken of as the most likely presidential 
candidate, was a guest during his brief 
visit to Boston this week of his cousin, 
Mrs. Samuel Carr, and family, Com- 
monwealth ave. 
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Head were 
guests over Christmas of their daughter, 
Mrs. Philip Stockton, in Boston. A 
pleasant feature of the holiday season 
was the christening of littlke Mary Stock- 
ton by the Rev. Sherrard Billings. The 
sponsors were Mrs. William A. Russell, 
an aunt of the little one, and Lawrence 
Stockton, an uncle. The christening 
dress was an heirloom and was worn by 
Mrs. Head, the child’s grandmother, at 
her baptism, as wellas by Mrs. Stockton, 
the baby’s mother, on a similar occasion. 
It is said that Mr. and Mrs. Head, who 
are spending the winter at their Man- 
chester estate, are planning to leave early 
in the spring—April—and will spend the 
summer season at their beautiful large 
‘country estate at Lake Champlain. Mr. 
and Mrs. Stockton, whose house at 
Manchester will not be ready for them 
until well along in the summer, may al- 
so spend a couple of months at Lake 
Champlain. 
Though we are not authorized to so 
state, we have heard, as announced some 
weeks ago in these columns, that Mr. 
and Mrs. Otto H. Kahn of New York 
and Morristown, N. J., are planning to 
spend part of the coming season on the 
North Shore, and Mr. Leiter, the wheat 
king of Chicago, will also spend part of 
the summer here, occupying the same 
house which the Kahns will have, after 
the former have departed. It is not un- 
likely that the Kahns will have the Head 
house which they occupied part of two 
seasons recently. 
Another well known North Shore 
summer resident has recently been re- 
moved by death. Dr. F. Gordon Mor- 
rill, for the past thirty years a summer 
resident at Magnolia, passed away on 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Friday, Jan. 27, at Assouan, Egypt, in 
the 65th year uf his age, news of his 
death being received in a cable message 
to his son, Dr. Gordon N. Morrill of 
Boston. Dr. Morrill was one of the 
pioneer summer residents of Magnolia, 
being one of the original Magnolia Shore 
Associates. He was also a member of 
the Magnolia Improvement association, 
and was always very much interested in 
the development of Magnolia as a sum- 
mer resort. Being one of the first to 
spend his summers here he has always 
been closely identified with the place. 
He purchased what was known as the 
Master Moore farm and developed it in- 
to attractive real estate. His summer 
home, ‘‘Pine Knoll,’’ is one of the 
most attractive pieces of property at 
Magnolia. On account of Mrs. Mor- 
rill’s health they have wintered in Egypt 
during the past eight years. This year 
they delayed their departure for Egypt 
until the middle of November because 
the doctor’s own health was not as good 
as usual. [hey were accompanied on 
the last end of their journey to Egypt by 
Samuel Morrill, an attache of the Ameri- 
can legation at Berlin. "The body will 
be brought home for burial. 
Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner M. Lane and 
family went to Baltimore to spend the 
holidays with Mrs. Lane’s parents Prof. 
and Mrs. Basil Gildersleeve. 
Capt. H. G. O. Colby of the West 
Manchester summer colony, who is now 
in charge of the New England recruiting 
station, Hanover street, Boston, is await- 
ing orders which will muster him out of 
service with the rank of rear admiral. 
He will be retired on Jan. 28, when he 
reaches his 62d year. 
The beautiful summer home of Rev. 
Roland Cotton Smith at Ipswich was 
ransacked from cellar to attic, one night 
last week by burglars.
