SOCIETY NOTES. 
qué NORTH SHORE was quite a busy place during 
“ the holidays—especially the last week, when the 
sleighing was good, and coasting, bob-sleighing, tobag- 
ganing and skiing, and snow-shoeing was indulged in by 
tlhlose who enjoy the sports. The Essex County club has 
naturally been the center of life all through the holidays, 
and will continue to be the rendezvous for week-ends as 
long as the winter sports are on

A Japanese garden—the first of its kind on the 
North Shore, is to be built on the F. P. Frazier estate at 
West Manchester. A Boston firm has the contract and 
it is expected the garden will be completed early next 
summer. A brook flows through the Frazier-garden and 
this will be made use of to beautify the spot. The beau- 
_tiful willow in the garden will also be used to good pur- 
pose.

N spite of the fact that there were no international ten- 
nis matches this year because of the war, there was no 
lull in this sport in this country, and it is doubtful if there 
was ever a better season. As one looks back over the 
year he can see nothing in the world of sport to outshine

Possibly the activities of this young 
woman from the Land of the Midnight Sun were the out- 
standing features of the sporting season which has just 
gone by. The way that she performed on the courts will long 
be remembered for she did some things that no one has 
ever done before. In women’s doubles the laurels have 
fallen to Mrs. George Wightman (Hazel Hotchkiss) and 
Miss Eleanora Sears of Beverly Farms. In the world of 
golf in the women’s field a new name goes on the cup, the 
winner being Mrs. Clarence H. Vanderbeck of the Phila- 
delphia Cricket Club of Philadelphia, who, on the links of 
the Onwentsia Club of Lake Forest, Ill., defeated Mrs. 
W. A. Gavin of England in the finals. In the art of fenc- 
ing championships among women were earned by Miss 
- Jessie Pyle, Miss Edith Evans and Miss D. Samuels, a!l 
of Philadelphia.

February 1 has been.decided upon as the date Her- 
bert M. Sears of 287 Commonwealth ave., Boston, and 
Pride’s Crossing, will set sail on the famous auxiliary 
cruising schooner Constellation to the West Indies, on a 
two months’ trip. He will return early in April. There 
is much interest in the voyage of the Constellation to the 
West Indies, as the beautiful yacht has many admirers 
who think she is without a peer in graceful proportions. 
A reduced rig has been fitted to the vessel, as it was 
decided that the enormous mainsail might prove difficult 
to manage. The Constellation is a familiar object to 
North Shore people, for her summer mooring is off the 
Sears estate at Pride’s Crossing.
