the flower line than the long winding hedges of rhododen- 
drons so gracefully bordering the driveway running 
through the Henry C. Frick home, “Bagle Rock,” at

bloom marks the early summer season and is always of 
much favorable comment by the passers-by.

“Allanbank,” the Beverly Cove home of Mr. and 
Mrs. Bryce J. Allan, has a striking and impressive decora- 
tion these days in three immense flags suspended over 
the entrance from the upper balcony. The center staff 
bears the American flag and on either side are the French 
and English flags, The three are of equal size, so large, 
and of such brilliant and fresh coloring that the effect is 
exceedingly beautiful. It was also noted the other eve- 
ning that the flags were not out. Evidently the Allans 
believe in flying their colors from sunrise to sunset, as 
military etiquette prescribes.

Mrs. Lucius Manlius Sargent will keep her Boston 
house open all summer, her visits to the Shore being only 
short motor trips to see her father, Hon. T. Jefferson 
Coolidge and Mrs. Nathan G. Horton and her daughter's 
family, the F, L. Higginson, Jrs., all of Coolidge’s Point. 
Mrs. Sargent will be greatly missed from the Shore in 
many ways. She has rented her beautiful home at Pride’s 
Crossing to the John Wood Blodgett family. This home 
with its great halls and spacious rooms have always been 
open to the public each season for many of the charitable 
events for which the Shore is noted. Some of the most 
charming musicales and worthy lectures of the season 
took place last summer in Mrs, Sargent’s home, and she 
was always the appreciative hostess assisted by her daugh- 
ter, Mrs, Higginson,
