all sightseers in that region. Mrs. Richard T. Crane, Jr., 
takes a great interest in her garden at Castle Hill and it 
is said makes a special trip early in the spring from her 
Chicago home to supervise the laying out of the garden. 
Other attractive gardens belong to the Herbert W. Mas- 
ons, Mrs. C. S. Tuckerman and Mrs. Charles A. Camp- 
bell. The garden at “Inglisby,” the home of the Charles 
P. Searles is one of extreme beauty in itself and boasts 
of an unsurpassed location. 
In Hamilton that charming terraced garden of the 
Rodolphe L. Agassizs at “Homewood,” the one at the 
home of the Charles F. Ayers and the large ones at “Rock 
Maple Farm,” the home of Hon. and Mrs. George von L. 
Meyer all seem like prize gardens in their individual 
charms. Other attractive gardens over that way belong 
to Mrs. Wolcott Howe Johnson, Mrs. C. D. Sias, Mrs 
C. T. Parker, Mrs. E.. B. Cole and Clarence T. Hollander. 
At Eastern Point, Gloucester, the most extensive 
garden belongs to Miss M. L. Davison of New York. 
Mrs. John Clay at “Finisterre” raises many pretty flowers 
on her rocky home on the tip-end of the Point. 
The McQuesten gardens at Marblehead Neck ‘have 
long come in for their share of admiration among the 
North Shore gardens.» And then over that way is that 
wonderful rose garden at “The Arches,” the charming 
summer home of the Andrew W. Preston’s at Phillips 
Beach, Swampscott, where over 100 first prizes have been 
captured by the Preston exhibits and medals and cups 
have been showered abundantly. 
Many, many other gardens are tucked away on the 
beautiful North Shore estates that the passers-by never 
dream of. But there is one little garden on a hillside at 
the home of Miss Katharine EF. Silsbee at Beverly Cove 
which lends such a cheerful and colorful picture to the 
passer-by that one cannot help but wish that more of 
them were in plain view. ‘To name the places that have 
especially ornamental lawns or formal arrangements of

er. Many well dressed women who have not the Conti- 
nental ease which comes from being the target of photo- 
graphers at fashionable assemblies of a semi-public na- 
ture, make it very difficult for the camera man. 
A newspaper photographer reports with a lens in- 
stead of a pencil. If those who appear uncomfortable 
or act childishly when a photographer appears would 
ignore his presence and trust to their own natural and 
graceful poses they would often be enchanted with the 
result—treally a subtle compliment. 
It is said that American girls have a certain individ- 
uality of style, and that if a dozen of them wore the 
same model suit or gown, each one would make it look 
like her own design. 
Many women of wealth and position have proved 
themselves more than capable of launching new modes. 
The velvet coats and the striped jersey and silk sport 
coats seen this winter at the Southern resorts will prob- 
ably be widely copied or made the basis for new styles 
in sport garb for all summer. 
Since the modern women of fashion live out of 
doors all the year round at the various resorts—Florida 
and California in the winter and Newport, the North 
Shore and Bar Harbor in the summer—sport clothes 
worn have become the last word in fashion. 
Stylish, jaunty and original sport clothes have cove 
to stay. Svein boasts at least one costume which 
answers to this description. It may be only a bright

flowers on lawns would be to go through practically the—

and massive ones fised effectively along driveways cat 
nowhere be seen better than at Mrs. Robert S. Bradley’s 
at Pride’s Crossing and at Mrs. James McMuillan’s at 
Manchester and around the driveways of the Alexander 
Cochranes, Oliver Ames and the Misses Loring of Pride’s 
Crossing. And then the peonies and the gladioli! but 
why enumerate? Doubtless all the inspiration to raise 
such beauties may be traced directly to the North Shore ~ 
Nurseries, the wonderful Cherry Hill Nursery at West 
Newbury and Cedar Acres, the Wenham home of gladioli, 
and the many hot houses along the shore which produce 
such wonderful results. To vie with these would Kees 
any gardener, however well trained, up and doing. 
Mrs. Harde, in her lectures, told of the special gard- 
ening suit she wears. It is of blue holland, a rather short 
skirt, an artist’s smock with long sleeves, buttoning in 
front, and a sun-bonnet with a cape to protect the should- 
ers from the hot sun. 
One of the prettiest ways of celebrating the tercen- 
tenary is to make a Shakespeare garden. He loved 
flowers, and mentions sixty-four of them in his plays and 
sonnets. Of these we have thirty-two in this country; 
among them are columbine, marjoram, iris, lavender, fen- 
nel, phlox and cuckoobuds. Tastefully combined, they 
form beautiful window-gardens, table decorations and 
bouquets, and the best florists supply them at moderate 
prices. .

becoming angle. The modern athletic girl and woman 
looks as clear cut in her sport togs as the game she plays. 
The Wentchow sport hat, first remarked at Palm 
Beach, promises to have great success this summer. It is 
light weight and comes in beautiful colors that match the 
sport costumes. 
Among the innumerable attractive adjuncts to the 
summer wardrobe nothing is more comfortable on occa- 
sions when sudden cool airs are encountered in the even- 
ing, motoring, at the seashore, in the mountains, etc.— 
and the American girl, popular and appreciated every- 
where, is now seen even on the hottest days of August 
with her indispensable fox scarf. It is regarded as 
unquestionably necessary as a stylish adjunct to the sil- 
houette. Indeed, it is held in high esteem as a comfort 
and convenience. 
How many little Palm Beach wardrobes are coming 
tc the North Shore estates this summer it would be hard 
to tell. But nowhere else do our American girls look 
any better than here on the ideal stretches of sea-shore, 
golf grounds and dancing pavilions. Here they show to 
advantage that they are the amalgamation of all that is 
most desirable in womankind. Someone has said that 
they have the style of the French woman, the wit of the 
Irish woman, the reserve of the English girl, the allurement 
of the Oriental. They are the result of the cosmopoli- 
tanism which makes America different from any other 
nation on earth.
