SOCIETY NOTES 
THE ENGAGEMENT of Miss Phyllis Sears and Bayard 
Tuckerman, Jr., is the most important announcement 
of the year. Miss Sears is the younger daughter of 
Herbert M. Sears of 287 Commonwealth ave., Boston, 
and “Wood Rock,’ Pride’s Crossing. Mr. Tuckerman 
is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Bayard Tuckerman of 118 
Fast 37th st.,.New York, who have a summer home, 
“Sunswick,” at Ipswich. The prominence of both families 
and the large family connections makes the engagement 
one of unusual interest to Boston and New York people, 
as well as of general interest to all the North Shore. The 
engagement was announced last Saturday, following the 
return of Miss Sears’ father from a yachting cruise in 
scuthern waters. ‘Their mutual love of athletics is said 
by their most intimate friends to be one of the strongest 
bonds that drew the young couple together. Mr. Tucker- 
man is chairman of the race stewards at the Brookline 
Country club and one of the most noted gentlemen riders 
in the country. He is also a member of the Myopia Hunt 
club. Miss Sears is'a noted horsewoman and riding is 
one of her favorite pastimes. She is also an expert at 
tennis and other outdoor sports and is a leader in society’s 
“athletic set.” Miss Sears is not yet 21 and her husband- 
to-be is only a couple of years older. Theirs is a real 
youthful romance. Miss Sears’ mother died in New 
York four or five years ago. Her grandfather was the 
late Francis Bartlett, also a summer resident of Pride’s 
Mrs. Bryce J. Allan of Beverly Cove is one of 
her aunts. Her only sister, Elizabeth, was married sev- 
eral years ago to Bayard Warren. They have a beautiful 
year-round residence on a hill overlooking the sea at 
Pride’s Crossing, adjoining the estate of Mr. Sears. It 
is said that the wedding will take place this early summer 
at Pride’s Crossing and that Mr. Tuckerman and _ his 
bride will live the year round at Pride’s Crossing. Pos- 
sibly the large summer home of the late Francis Bartlett 
will be their residence.
