NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
MANCHESTER, MASS., 
SOCIETY NOTES 
The elite of the North Shore will be over to the Essex 
County club in Manchester tonight for the second din- 
ner-dance of the season. As the dinner-dance in July 
was the leading social event of the month, it is expected 
that tonight’s affair will be the biggest event of the 
month of August. So much demand was made for tables 
that a few extra will be ‘‘squeezed in’’ tonight so as to 
permit a score or so more to attend the dinner than last 
time, when the number was 181. Among those who have 
secured tables are Mrs. Gordon Abbott, who expects to 
have twenty-two guests; Miss Mabel Boardman, who ex- 
pects eighteen or twenty ; Miss Adele G. Thayer, who will 
have a dozen; Mrs. R. F. Greeley, Mrs. J. C. Kerr, G. F. 
Willett, Amory Eliot, Mrs. Fiteh, H. E. Russell, Philip 
Dexter, Mrs. W. 8. Kennard, Mrs. A. M. Parker, Samuel 
Carr, Mrs. F. B. Bemis, Mrs. R. F. Tucker, Mrs. Leland, 
Mrs. T. M. McKee, Mrs. J. J. Weil, and members of the 
various embassies

Miss Torrey, President Taft’s now famed ‘‘ Aunt 
Delia,’’ was one of the guests at the summer ‘‘white 
house’’ during the week. With Miss Helen and Robert 
Taft, she rode over from her home in Millbury—seventy- 
five miles—to Burgess Point, in one of the President’s 
motor cars. She was greatly pleased when she stepped 
out of the car and was enthusiastic over the modern 
method of travel which her nephew so enjoys. She was 
constantly entertained while in Beverly.

SOCIETY NOTES 
There have been some interesting tennis matches at 
the Essex County club the last week for the special cups 
offered by W. D. Denegre for the winners of the mixed 
doubles tournament. The essential qualification for one 
entering the tournament was that he or she must have 
reached the age of thirty years, but it was not at all 
surprising that the large number of sixteen ladies and 
gentlemen admitted their ages to the extent that they en- 
tered the tournament. Those drawn to play as partners 
and in the matches of the first round were as follows: 
Mrs. N. Horton and E. K. Arnold v. Mrs. G. F. Willett 
and Mr. Willett; Mrs. S. Parker Bremer and H. 8. 
Grew v. M. di Montaglari and Philip Stockton; Miss 
Harriet Rantoul and R. M. Winthrop v. Mrs. F. J. 
Cooldige, jr., and R. S. Codman; Mrs. Lester Leland and 
Russell Tyson y. Mrs. E. K. Arnold and Lester Leland.

Clay A. Pierce of the Pride’s Crossing colony is at 
Lake Namekagon, Wisconsin. Mrs. Pierce, who was 
Irene Tewsbury of Chicago, was a belle at Hawthorne 
Inn, East Gloucester, in the early days of her North 
Shore sojourns, making that hostelry her summer home 
and her friendship and romance with Mr. Pierce had its 
culmination there. As a North Shore matron, she still 
retains the beauty and charm of her young womanhood.

ville, Ky., after a visit of several weeks at Beverly 
Farms, with his parents. He was entertained at many

the engagement of Miss Effie Bagnell of St. Louis, their 
daughter, to Mr. Culbertson.

also and while on the North Shore was entertained by 
Mrs. George Whitney of Boston and Nahant. Little 
Miss Anna Winslow observed her eleventh birthday 
Wednesday of this week by a picnic party on Mystery 
Island in the afternoon, luncheon being served to a num- 
ber of her playmates.
