SOCIETY NOTES 
A birthday anniversary could scarcely be kept with 
a more appropriate and memorable observance than 
that which graced the 22d birthday of Miss Katherine 
Ayer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Ayer, of 
““Avalon,’’ Pride’s Crossing, 
Without Miss Katherine getting a hint of what was go- 
ing on, Mrs. Ayer arranged to have the Salem Cadet 
band in the garden at ‘‘Avalon,’’ under the window 
of Miss Katherine’s room. When all was ready, the 
band began playing, very subdued and gently at first, 
that beautiful old air: of Irish devotion, ‘‘ Kathleen 
Mavoureen.’’ It was the strains of this love-melody 
that woke Miss Katherine from her dreams. Thinking it 
strange that such music should be heard about the place 
at that early hour, the young lady hastened to the win- 
dow—when she was greeted by the glad voices and smiles 
of about forty of her young friends who had come along 
with the band. At first she was quite overcome by the 
sentiment expressed, but she quickly recovered herself 
and, dressing hastily, went down to meet her guests. 
The entire company, band and all, came in to break- 
fast, as a special birthday feast had been prepared. 
After breakfast, the morning passed very happily with 
music and dancing and Mrs. Ayer had luncheon served 
to the merry party aahe , 
Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Vaughan (Miss Loring’), whose 
wedding took place at Pride’s Crossing in July, sailed 
last week to continue their honeymoon trip. They had 
visited Mrs. Vaughn’s parents, the Augustus P. Lorings 
at Pride’s previous to sailing. They will be abroad six 
weeks, during which time they will travel through a 
part of Scotland and Europe. They -will make their 
home at Beverly Farms this winter, joining the increas- 
ing colony of young married people who are making 
year-round homes in that section of the shore. 
The Francis W. Fabyans returned Tuesday from 
their bungalow at Buzzards Bay, which they keep open 
all winter and where they go for week-ends very fre- 
quently. The house at West Manchester will be kept 
open until mid-October.

Gordon C. Prince and his friend Leon Little of 
Newburyport are expected back from a two weeks’ 
eruise along the coast to Jonesport, Me., the first of

yacht, as is the young man’s custom of spending his 
vacation for the past two or three years. Mr. Little and 
Mr. Prince were both of the Class of 710 Harvard. Mr. 
Prince’s mother, Mrs. Gordon Prince is spending the 
summer at her large summer cottage at West Manches-
