MANCHESTER-BY-THE-SEA. 
Mr. and Mrs. William Hooper went 
into Boston last Friday for the big 
assembly at the Somerset, one of the 
leading social affairs of the season. 
Mr. and Mrs. Gardner M. Lane 
were down to Manchester last Satur- 
day and again the first of the week. 
The Lanes are to have a few minor 
alterations made at their summer place 
later on. 
C. W. Ward was down from Brook- 
line last Saturday, also, and was at his 
Sea street house. 
Mrs. Edward Wigglesworth and 
her daughter, Henrietta, whose en- 
gagement was announced last week to 
A.S. Porter, jr., has gone South for 
several weeks. 
Mr. and Mrs. William J. Boardman, 
whose summer home, off School street, 
is always the scene of gay house par- 
ties in the summer months, gave a 
dinner for 20 at their Washington 
home last week. Miss Hetty Sargent 
was among their guests. 
Several of the summer colony have 
been noticed down on the shore the 
past week. 
Among the owners of new auto- 
mobiles on the North Shore the com- 
ing season will be Ezra C. Fitch. Mr. 
Fitch has just had a 24-h.p. Winton 
made to order. The car is thoroughly 
up-to-date, 1905 style, four cylinder, 
chainless, lenizine body and canopy 
top. Mr. and Mrs. Fitch are abroad 
at present, having sailed last week on 
the Deutschland, but they will return 
early and will be among the first ar- 
rivals at Manchester. Conover, their 
son, will use Mr. Fitch’s old 16-h.p. 
Winton, which is now undergoing re- 
pairs at Dyer’s machine shop and 
later will receive a coat of paint at 
Lation’s in Manchester. 
A Ramascable! Raw. 
It may be of interest to holders of 
insurance policies in Manchester to 
know that of the eleven companies 
doing business here through its agents 
the John Hancock has the remarkable 
record of doing slightly more business 
than all the rest of the companies 
combined. This record was established 
by District Agent Geo. E. B. Strople 
of Rockport, who represents the com- 
pany in Essex aes Mr. Strople 
is well known in Manchester. _ He has 
been connected with the John Han- 
cock for eleven years, and at present 
he has the record of being the second 
largest insurance writer.in the county 
and one of the largest in Massachu- 
setts. These facts would seem to 
indicate in no uncertain way that the 
John Hancock is the most popular 
company doing business in this section.
