NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Vol. XIV 
SOCIETY NOTES. 
THE NORTH SHORE is showing signs of general ac- 
” tivity all along the line—signs of an early spring, just 
as much so as the return of the feathered birds from the 
southland. All required now is some spring-like weather 
and then one may learn of the removal of shutters from 
houses and the gradual return of the early spring dwellers. 
Indications point to a most active season along the North 
Shore.

Former Senator and Mrs. Albert J. Beveridge and 
family are among the growing colony of “summer vist- 
tors” who are so attached to the North Shore that they 
are making it their year-round home. They have been at 
Beverly Farms all winter, with occasional visits to Bos- 
ton and New York, and this week they are going to Wash- 
ington for a few weeks’ stay returning to Beverly Farms 
early in April.

Mrs. Askel P. C. Wichfeld is at her residence at 
Pride’s Crossing for a few days, preliminary to having 
some changes and additions at “Swiftmoor” this spring 
before the family moves on from Washington. Mr. and 
Mrs. Wichfeld are leaving Washington shortly for a 
stay in the south. Some of the younger members of the 
family are to spend their school vacation at Pride’s Cross- 
ing, during the Easter holidays.

Mr. and Mrs. Leonard D. Ahl were among the guests 
entertained at the Beach club at Palm Beach at a dinner 
given by Mr. and Mrs. Harlan K. Bolton. 
Matrimony is like motoring because it is traveling 
by means of a series of explosions. 
HREE large panels in oil, done in sepia and white, 
each representing a yachting scene will be among the 
new decorations which will grace the remodeled clubhouse 
of the Corinthian Yacht club of Marblehead. The dec- 
orative panels are the work of Worden Wood, the Salem 
marine artist. The panels are only recently completed 
and will be turned over to Commodore Charles B. Whee- 
lock before the opening of the clubhouse. 
The largest panel is designed to go over the fireplace 
in the taproom. It represents seven of the 31-raters, the 
club’s favorite class, rounding the Southeast Breakers can 
buoy. Five of the boats have turned with the remaining 
‘two making for the can. The smaller panels represent 
a thrash to windward. That of the smaller boats, a fight 
between three of the sonder class. One is the inter- 
national match winner, the Vim, while the other two are 
the Wolf and the Ellen, both of which took part in the 
German-American series. 
The third painting is of the three America cup sloops, 
the Resolute, the Vanite and the Defiance. The vessels 
are represented sailing close hauled in a fine breeze with 
clubtopsails and jibtopsails set, fighting out a close race 
on the wind. . 
The paintings will add much to the clubhouse, which 
is being extensively remodeled and enlarged for the open- 
ing.

SOCIETY. NOTES 
GOUTHERN RESORTS 
Palm Beach was the center of the winter’s social 
activities in the south last week when two thousand so- 
jcurners gathered at the Royal Poinciana hotel for the 
Washington’s Birthday ball. The event was the occasion 
for a display of dresses and jewels seldom seen at one 
eathering. Sojourners from the North and those who 
are stopping at other Southern resorts went to Palm 
Beach especially for the ball. The electric display was a 
feature of the decorations, changing the effects from day- 
light to moonlight, and with each change beautiful and 
attractive hues were taken on by the women’s dresses. 
Never before has Palm Beach paid tribute to the Father 
of his Country with more magnificent dresses or more 
costly jewels. Mrs. Gurnee Munn was present, in white 
satin with pearl and silver trimmings; Mrs. E. T. Stotes- 
bury, white satin with pearl and diamond ornaments ; 
others present were Mr. and Mrs. Barklie Henry, Mr. 
and Mrs. Walter Mitchell, Mr. and Mrs. Leonard D. 
Ahi Pay Director Charles W- Littlefield; U. S..N., and 
Mrs. Littlefield, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Armour and 
Mr. and Mrs. Payne Whitney. The decorations for the 
ball were used for the fancy dress fete of this Monday 
which was a benefit for the American Ambulance Corps 
in Paris. Sponsors of the affair were Mrs. EF. T. Stotes- 
bury, Mrs. Leonard Hanna and a host of prominent wom- 
en. Besides this Monday fete for charity there has been 
a continuous round of breakfasts, luncheons, dinners, 
wheel chair and yachting parties, beach parades and small 
private entertainments.
