NORTH: SHORE. BREEZE 15 
MANCHESTER-BY-THE-SEA. 
- With the end of the coming week 
life on the shore for this season may 
be said to be waning. Thenumber of 
guestsat the hotels is slowly decreas- 
ing and by the middle of the month 
hotel life will be practically at an end. 
The past week has been a rather 
quiet one as far as social functions are 
concerned. The visit of Baron 
Kaneko here was marked by a few 
dinners and luncheons and, on Mon- 
day afternoon, by a big reception and 
tea at Miss Adele. G. Thayer's house 
in West Manchester. Many of the 
leaders in social life on the shore were 
present. 
Baron Kaneko came here Monday 
afternoon, with Wm. Richards of Bos- 
ton, as guest of Mr. and Mrs. Prescott 
Bigelow at the Cove. He left Thurs- 
day morning for Boston after a delight- 
ful visit. Mrs. Bigelow gave a small 
luncheon at the Essex County club, 
Wednesday, in his honor. 
Miss Grace Probasco of Long Island 
is a guest of Miss Naneen Mitchell at 
the Cove, returning here Wednesday 
with Mrs. Mitchell and her daughter, 
who hada delightful auto trip down 
to New London the first of the week. 
Miss Katherine Wood of Washing- 
ton and Miss Sarah McClellan of 
Pittsburg are guests of the F. C. 
Stevens. 
The Misses Head are back in Man- 
chester again after a trip with the 
Pierces of Pride’s Crossing on their 
yacht ‘‘Yacoma.”’ They were guests 
of Miss Violet Pierce. 
Mr. and Mrs. Francis M.. White- 
house arrived here Wednesday even- 
ing after an extended trip abroad, and 
are at their magnificent new estate, 
Manchester Cove, for the balance of 
the season. 
One of the earliest of the fall wed- 
dings, and undoubtedly, one of the 
prettiest of the season, will be that of 
Miss Rebecca Traill Andrews to Dr. 
Fletcher Hodges of Indianapolis at 
Emanuel church next Thursday. 
Walter D. Denegre returned yester- 
day from a few days’ business trip to 
New York. 
The M. B. Masons are expected 
home from abroad the latter part of 
next week, and will spend the balance 
of the season here. 
There is a handicap competition on 
at the County Club links today, special 
prizes being offered for the winners in 
the best eight. 
Miss M. McNamara is at Manches- 
ter for the summer, and she is pre- 
pared to do shampooing, manicuring, 
and to do the marcel wave. Beach

RFERN-CROFT INN 
This historic old inn is located on the old Boxford Road, in Middleton, near the 
Danvers boundary line. Andrew Nichols, the historian, says it was erected in 1679. Thus 
the present year is the 225th anniversary of its erection. 
Every visitor to the North Shore should include a trip to Fern-Croft, and dinner 
beneath its hospitable roof, a part of his itinerary. It is within easy access of Beverly and 
Manchester, and the drive along the shore to the inn is one of the most pleasant in this 
section. Booklet mailed on request.
