SOCIETY NOTES. 
Miss Effie Bagnell of St. Louis is to wed William Cul- 
bertson of Louisville, Ky. By the time this typed state- 
ment reaches the reader, there will be many who will 
say that it is not news, that it was announced last 
Wednesday at the Oceanside by Miss Bagnell’s mother. 
True, but nearly every friend of the young woman, and 
that means every one in society on the North Shore, has 
been busy with congratulations for Miss Bagnell and 
‘*Billy’’ Culbertson. There was little show about the 
announcement which was made by Mrs. William Bagnell, 
the mother, just before the happy pair went in to 
lhincheon Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs. Bagnell have come 
to the Oceanside in Magnolia for so many summers, that 
now they have apartments in a cottage connected with 
the hotel called the ‘‘Bagnell’’ which is almost like one 
of their own. Miss Effie has been in Magnolia so much 
that she might be said to have grown up there, and she 
has become one of the most popular in the younger set. 
Just before the tennis tournament started Craig Culbert- 
son, who, according to certain publications, is the fiance 
of Alice Vandergrift of Pittsburg, and his younger 
brother, came to the Oceanside from Beverly Farms, 
where the Culbertsons are spending the summer. Craig 
played in the tournament and was successful up to the 
fourth round. ‘‘Billy’ did not play in the tournament 
and was even more successful. Miss Bagnell also played 
in the tournament and lost. There is a saying ‘‘unlucky 
in ecards, ete.,’’ but cards have nothing do with tennis. 
However, on Wednesday the engagement was announced 
and everyone appears to be happy. All was not joy on 
the happy day, however, for Samuel A. Culbertson, whe 
is a leading banker and broker in Louisville, lay very 
ili at- his summer home. Two of the leading physicians 
in this part of the country were summoned—Dr. Samuel 
J. Mixter of Boston and Swampscott, and Dr. James 
Marsh Jackson of Boston and Beverly Farms, who is 
attending the Hon. William H. Moody, associate justice 
of the supreme court of the United States, ill in his 
summer cottage in Magnolia. After a consultation, the 
physicians agreed on the ailment, and in the evening, 
Dr. Jackson announced that Mr. Culbertson is suffering 
from a complication of diseases, but that he was much 
better and out of danger.
