Society Notes 
The Charles Heads closed their 
house at Manchester Tuesday and 
returned to their 412 Beacon street 
home, Boston, for the winter. Their 
daughter, Mrs. Russell, and Mr. Rus- 
sell, who spent a few days with them 
after their return from abroad last 
week, are also settled at their Back 
Bay residence for the balance of the 
winter. Mr. and Mrs. Head had a 
gay party at their Manchester house 
over Christmas. Besides Mr. and 
Mrs. Russell and their other daughter, 
Miss Margaret, and her fiance, Mr. 
Stockton, there were Mr. and Mrs. 
A. L. Devons of Hamilton and Bos- 
ton, and the Misses Merriam, Mrs. 
Head’s neices. 
In the late afternoon, between 4 and 
6 o’clock, the Head residence was the 
scene of a gay Christmas party. From 
all along the shore came the cottagers 
to join in the festivities of the occa- 
sion. There were, besides Mr. and 
Mrs. Head’s house party, Mr. and 
Mrs. Francis M. Whitehouse, Mr. and 
Mrs. Walter Denegre, Mr. and Mrs. 
William B. Walker, Mr. and Mrs. Wil- 
liam Hooper, Mr. and Mrs. Walter 
Mitchell and their respective familles 
and guests, including Miss Eleanora 
Sears, who was spending the day with 
Miss Mitchell. The large tree erected 
in the spacious drawing-room was very 
prettily dressed, and contained pres- 
ents for everybody, the distribution of 
which was the occasion for much 
mirth. Besides the presents for the 
children there were presents for the 
older ones as well. The host of the 
occasion, Mr. Head, was presented 
with a massive candy cane, six feet 
long, by Mrs. Hooper; Mr. White- 
house was presented with a handsome 
yacht; Mr. Denegre’s gift was an 
automobile; Mr. Hooper was given a 
pretty miniature street car, etc. Ev- 
erybody had a most jolly time. 
Earlier in the day Mr. and Mrs. 
Wm. Hooper had gladdened the hearts 
of many of the children in Beverly 
Farms and Manchester by distributing 
a carriage load of toys, books, candies, 
etc., among them.’ 
Mr. and Mrs. Prescott Bigelow very 
pleasantly remembered the young folk 
of Manchester Cove on Christmas. 
Each child was presented with a box 
of assorted candy as a remembrance. 
Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Whitehouse 
had with them over the holiday Mrs. 
Whitehouse’s brother, Allison V. Ar- 
mour of Chicago. Mr.and Mrs. White- 
house are giving a party at their man- 
sion tonight for the children of Man- 
chester Cove. 
Mr. Roland Lincoln of Boston was 
noticed in Manchester Tuesday. 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas McKee gave 
a Christmas tree at their house in 
Beverly Farms for the children of the 
village. 
At “ Swift-Moor”’ Mr. and Mrs. E. 
C. Swift entertained a party of 14 
over Christmas, the guests coming 
Friday and remaining till Tuesday. 
The Swift residence was prettily dec- 
orated with evergreen, potted plants 
and flowers. On Christmas morning, 
from a large Christmas tree, presents 
were distributed not only to the family 
and guests, but the servants were also 
remembered and came in for their full 
share of the good cheer which was in 
abundance at the Swift estate. 
Reginald Boardman, who went 
abroad two months ago, was among 
the arrivals on the Oceanic last week 
in New York. 
It now looks as if no challenge 
would be issued for the Seawanhaka 
cup, captured from the Royal St. 
Lawrence Yacht club last season by 
the Manchester Yacht club. The 
‘Canadian club will not challenge, and 
it is now too late to expect one from a 
foreign club. The Boston Herald sug- 
gests if the German clubs want inter- 
national racing, a try for the Seawan- 
haka cup would put them in fast com- 
pany.
