NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Vol. X1V 
SOCIETY NOTES. 
THE NORTH SHORE has been quite a popular place 
~ for the lovers of winter sports, the past week. To 
see a bob-sled hitched to the back of an automobile or a 
sleigh, bobbing along over the North Shore roads, with 
from two to half a dozen merry folk—either young or 
“near-young—hanging on, has been a common sight. The 
particular rendezvous has been the Essex County club, 
where tobogganing, skiing and coasting have been in vogue 
ali the week. Skating has been only fair. There are 
more than half a hundred families in the winter colony 
at Beverly Farms and Manchester this winter, and many 
have had guests down the shore for the sports. There 
have also been a number of week-ends at the partly-open- 
ed houses.

George F. Willett had a party at the Essex County 
club over the week-end, remaining until Wednesday.

SOCIETY NOTES ‘ 
OSTON and the North Shore were chiefly concerned, 
as the leading society event of the month, in the wed- 
ding last Saturday, in Boston, of Miss Dorothy May Jor- 
dan, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eben D. Jordan, 07 
40 Beacon st., Boston, summer residents of West Man- 
chester, and Monroe Douglas Robinson of New York. 
The wedding cemented a union between leading families 
of Boston and New York, for Mr. Robinson is the son of 
Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Robinson of New York, and a 
nephew of ex-President Theodore Roosevelt. He is a 
Harvard graduate of the class of 1909. Therefore it was 
ar occasion for a great outpouring of old and honored 
families, in which distinguished Bostonians, prominent 
Tiarvard graduates and members of Col. Roosevelt’s 
lLousehold mingled together. The ceremony was at 12.30 
at Trinity church, and performed by Rev. Dr. Alexander 
Mann, ectorvol tne eoutch... elle was) assisted by~ Kev: 
Dr. Samuel S. Drury, rector of St. Paul’s School of Con- 
cord, N. H., and formerly rector of St. Stephen’s church 
in Boston. The service was a choral one, the large and 
inspiring church choir singing before the bridal party en- 
tered the door. Then the*fair bride, leaning on her 
father’s arm, and accompanied by two bridesmaids, en- 
tered the church and proceeded down a lane of flowers, 
fresh green, and standing people to the altar. 
Miss Jordan was dressed in an exquisite gown of 
white satin and tulle, with a court train, finished with 18th 
century Venetian lace. -She carried a prayer book and 
spray of white orchids. Her two bridesmaids, Miss Lilli- 
azn Mitchell and Miss Edith Deacon of Boston, were garb- 
ed in colors distinctly in contrast to the white dress of 
the bride, wearing pink gowns, veiled with blue tulle, and 
hats trimmed with apple blossoms to match. They car- 
ried bouquets of fresh spring flowers. 
The groom was attended by his brother, Theodore 
Douglas Robinson, Harvard, ’04, as best man. Many of 
the ushers were members of his own or other classes at 
Harvard, while a few are associates of the groom in the 
Knickerbocker club of New York. The ushers were 
Gasper G. Bacon, Harvard, ’08; Nathaniel Simpkins, Jr., 
ard Robert Jordan, Harvard, ’o6, all of Boston; Gerry 
Chadwick, Harvard, 04; Francis Roche and Maurice 
Roche, both Harvard, ’o9; Edwin B. D. Morgan, Jr., 
Arthur Mason Jones and Prescott Huidekoper, all of 
New York; James.G. Blaine, 3d, Harvard, ’11, of Provi- 
dence; Hamilton Fish, Jr., of New York and Sheffield 
Cowles, a cousin of the groom. The decorations at the 
church were mainly about the sanctuary. Tied at the ends 
of the pews were bunches of roses and real Scotch heather, 
alternating, and from the rude-rail back to the altar were 
masses of Killarney and Countess roses. At the altar 
there was a mass of pink and white azalea and a few 
roses and Easter lilies, with high palms all around. 
Immediately after the wedding ceremony scores of 
carriages and limousines were pressed into service ‘o 
carry the guests to the Jordan mansion on Beacon st., 
where the reception, with a buffet luncheon, was held. 
There the young couple, assisted by Mr. and Mrs. Jordan 
and the bridesmaids, received their friends. Behind the 
iine was a mass of wild flowers, the only decorations at 
the home. An unexpected treat was in store for the 
young people after the reception, for Mr. Jordan had 
secured for the dancing Mrs. Hawkesworth’s orchestra of 
New York, which has been widely in demand for Back
