SOCIETY NOTES 
The Misses Paine closed their cottage at Pride’s 
Crossing Wednesday and returned to Boston for the 
Winter season. Among others who have closed their 
North Shore houses this week are Mr. and Mrs. John 
T. Morse, Jr., who are also Boston people. They have 
what is known as the Paine Farm at Pride’s. Mrs. 
Arthur Amory of the Manchester colony has left the 
Shore for her Boston home. Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Ames 
have left the Shore with their two daughters. They 
will be missed in the congenial coterie at Pride’s 
Crossing. The family will spend several weeks at 
Northeast Harbor before opening their house in Boston, 
in order that Miss Olivia, who is to be one of Boston’s 
debutantes this winter, may have a few weeks of rest 
before taking up her social duties of the season. The 
Sears place at Beverly Farms is one of those which have 
been closed during the last week. The family is at the 
Boston house for the fall. Their plans for mid-winter 
are unsettled. Mr. and Mrs. Payne Whitney have re- 
turned to New York. They have been members of the 
Farms colony for the first time this season. Mrs. Lucius 
Manlius Sargent of Pride’s Crossing has also left the 
Shore to return to her pone in Boston. 
The engagement of Miss Eugenia Greenough, 
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm S. Greenough of 
Boston and Nahant to Royal KE. Robbins, a Harvard 712 
man is announced. Miss Eugenia is a member of the 
Vineent club and one of the smart set at Nahant, where 
the Greenoughs have an attractive cottage. Her father 
is a member of the Country, Eastern Yacht and Somer- 
set clubs. Mr. Robbns is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Royal 
Robbins, who are also of the Nahant colony. His mother 
was formerly Theresa Huntington, daughter of Rev. 
William R. Huntington, D.D., of the Grace church, 
New York. They are at Brookline winters. Mr. Rob- 
bins is one of the most popular members of the recent 
Harvard graduates and is a prominent club man, being 
a member of the Eastern Yacht, the Country and the 
Essex County clubs. neve 
About forty women met last Friday afternoon at 
the home of Mrs. John F. Browning, 408 Lafayette 
street, Salem, to form a women’s branch of the Pro- 
gressive party. Many prominent women were inter- 
ested in the movement. Mrs. Ida H. Parker, who is well 
known as a suffragist, outlined the policies of the 
party and the Rev. Mrs. Anna C. M. Tillinghast of 
Beverly was an able speaker on the real meaning of the 
Progressive movement. Mrs. Louis Agassiz Shaw of 
the Beverly Farms summer colony introduced the 
speakers. More and more women in the Hastern part 
of the country and especially the women of the best 
circles of Society are becoming interested in the politi- 
eal questions of the day. It is thought that conserva- 
tive Boston, with many of her sister cities, will see the 
formation of more women’s organizatons this winter 
than ever before and that Society matrons will be 
prominent members of such sets.
