Society Notes 
North Shore folk will be interested 
in the announcement that Mrs. J. 
Russell Selfridge has leased the 
Clement S. Houghton cottage at 
Magnolia and is to conduct a Tea 
House at that popular resort this sea- 
son. The house, which, by the way, 
is one of the prettiest at Magnolia, is 
located on Norman avenue, near the 
library, and is now being fitted up for 
the innovation. An additional porch 
is being thrown out and Florentine 
awnings will be hungand, with numer- 
ous bay trees, plants and vases, the 
cottage and grounds will be turned 
into an ideal place for a Tea House. 
Mrs. Selfridge is now at Magnolia 
getting ready for the season and ex- 
pects to open before the middle of this 
month. “At the Sign of the Dol- 
phin”’ is the attractive name selected 
by Mrs. Selfridge for the Tea House. 
In the rooms downstairs petits diners 
will be served to order. Large glass 
doors open onto the beautiful, 
spacious piazzas where tea will be 
served. There willalso be charmingly 
appointed bridge rooms. This will be 
a particular interesting feature inas- 
much as there is to be a lady instruc- 
tor, who is to have classes in bridge, 
and as these bridge rooms can be 
rented for private parties, or one or 
two tables can be hired for smaller 
parties. Mrs. Selfridge has taken 
great care in providing for the culinary 
department of the house and is fortu- 
nate in being able to secure the cook 
who was for three years with Mrs. 
George L. von Meyer and later with 
Mrs. Larz Anderson. Several novel- 
ties in the line of choice dishes will be 
introduced, including Charles Dicken’s 
famous ‘Moonbeam punch,” con- 
cocted by the writer himself when he 
entertained his friends at Gad’s Hill. 
Another novelty will be the cake fig- 
uring in Owen Wister’s new book 
“Lady Baltimore.” Mrs. Selfridge, 
by the way, is a widow of the late 
Captain Selfridge, whose sudden 
death last September from apoplexy 
just as he was about to take command 
of the Missouri, was a severe shock in 
navy circles. She is a daughter of 
the late Col. Kearny of New Jersey. 
Her large circle of friends along the 
North Shore who are eager to see her 
succeed, coupled with her exquisite 
taste in making a place of this kind 
what it should be to attract the smart 
set, already assures her success. Her 
younger daughter, Miss Virginia Self- 
ridge, will havea gift shop at the Tea 
House, with glass doors opening out 
on the porch. She will carry a beau- 
tiful assortment of Boston Arts and 
Crafts goods, including hammered 
silver, old Sheffield plate, old pewter,
