NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Vol. XIV 
SOCIETY NOTES. 
ORTH SHORE real estate men say they expect an 
unprecedented demand for summer property—estates 
and cottages—this year. So many rentals were made last 
fall, and at the close of the season last year, that even 
normal demands this winter and spring would suffice to 
"keep the business up to standard. New York and western 
people will abound in the colony along the North Shore 
ihe next season, if the early inquiries for houses foretell 
anything.

North Shore residents were shocked to learn of the 
death in Philadelphia Sunday night, following a short 
illness, of Clarence Howard Clark, Jr., for the last seven 
or eight years a summer resident of West Mancheste*. 
The family is one of the most prominent in the Man- 
chester colony, being big entertainers, especially on their 
magnificently appointed yacht ‘Savarona,’ one. .of the 
4nest in North Shore waters. Mr. Clark was a member 
cf the banking house of E. W. Clark & Co. and the son 
of the late Clarence Howard Clark, also a Philadelphia 
banker. He was a native of Philadelphia. His mother 
was Amie Hampton Westcott Clark. 
The Evening Telegram (Philadelphia), of Monday, 
contained the following account: “C. Howard Clark, Jr., 
‘member of the well-known banking firm of E. W. Clark 
& Go., of this city, and president of the Centennial Na- 
tional Bank, died suddenly last night at the Pineland 
clubhouse in Garnett, S.C. Mr. Clark was 54 years old. 
His home was in Devon, to which he moved from 4200 
Spruce street. Mr. Clark was in good health on Satur- 
day morning wher he left Philadelphia for a gunning 
trip. He intended to make a gunning lodge on the out- 
skirts of Garnett his headquarters during his stay in the 
Southern State. Last night, while in the ‘clubhouse he 
was stricken with apoplexy. He died shortly afterward. 
Mr. Clark was proninent in financial and social circles in 
this city. He is survived by his wife, formerly Miss 
‘Eleanor D. Head, and two children. Mr. Clark had been 
Merenber of F. W. Clark & Co. ‘since 1885 and of the 
Philadelphia Stock Exchange since March 22, 1888. He

ley-Plaza, the function marking, as it always does, the 
height of the social season. About six hundred guests 
attended. Samuel Hooper-Hooper, Joseph Grafton 
Minot and Barrett Wendell, Jr., were in charge. Mrs. 
Nathaniel Thayer, Mrs. Bryce J. Allan and Mrs. Edward 
D. Brandagee composed the reception committee. The 
guests commenced to arrive about 11 o’clock and supper 
was served in the main dining room at 12.30 o’clock. 
Some very handsome gowns were worn by the ladies, 
and all in the pronounced new style of short full skirts 
and close fitting bodices. Those who received the guesis 
vere Mrs. Oliver Ames, 2d, who wore a lovely costume 
of pale blue satin brocaded with silver, the short sleeves 
of white embroidered tulle edged with silver, and a girdle

The second of the Junior Assemblies was held last 
Saturday evening at Hotel Somerset. The matrons were 
Mrs. Henry S. Grew, Mrs. Bernard C. Weld, Mrs. H. 
G. Nichols and Mrs. Robert F. Perkins. The third as- 
sembly will be held on Feb. 12: 
The dancing set will hail it as welcome news that 
the members of the Myopia, Middlesex and Norfolk Hunt 
clubs have combined to give a grand hunt ball on Friday 
evening, Feb. 4, at the Hotel Somerset. It is a number 
of years since Boston has witnessed a hunt ball, the last 
one having occured at the Somerset nine years ago. Those 
who attended it will recall the brilliancy of the occasion 
ard eclat which was given the affair by the display of 
pink coats that were worn by the huntsmen. The jollity 
of the occasion was increased by a mid-night supper and 
also a supper at 4 o’clock in the morning, with a wind-up 
breakfast for the committee at 6 o’clock. The managers 
for the coming ball are Rodolphe L. Agassiz, John S. 
Ames, James W. Appleton, W. Rodman Fay, B. Apthrop 
G. Fuller, A. Henry Higginson, George S. Mandell, Q. A. 
Shaw McKean, John Parkinson, Jr., Francis Peabody, 
Frederick ‘H. Prince, Dudley P. Rogers, Francis W. 
Sargent, Jr., Bayard Tuckerman, Jr. and Henry G. 
Vaughan. The first hunt ball in Boston took place in 
(dd Fellows hall more than 30 years ago; the second was 
in 1887 in the same hall, and the third in 1889 in Cotillion 
hall. These were all given by the Myopia club. In 1899 
the Myopia and the .Norfolk clubs joined in the ball, 
given in Paul Revere hall, and in 1903 the two gave a 
tall at Hotel Somerset. Four years later, on Feb. 1, 1907, 
came the largest affair of the kind at the Somerset, and 
the last, up to the forthcoming.
