Society Notes 
The Arthur M. Merriams have just 
returned to town from a long season 
at West Manchester. 
Mr. and Mrs. Philip S. Sears, who 
have lingered at Pride’s longer than 
usual, returned to town Wednesday 
for the balance of the winter. Work 
on their new summer home, Common 
lane, Pride’s, is progressing finely, 
and the house will be ready for occu- 
pancy next season. 
Mr. and Mrs. Franklin Haven re- 
turned to their Boston house for the 
balance of the winter, Wednesday 
morning. With them returned also 
Mrs. Haven’s sister, Miss Endicott, 
whose illness necessitated her being 
carried to the private coach attached 
to the 10.30 train. 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
“The President and Mrs. Roosevelt 
announce the engagement of their 
daughter, Miss Alice Lee Roosevelt, 
to Representative Nicholas Longworth 
of Ohio. The wedding will take place 
at the White House in the middle of 
February.” This settles it. The ru- 
mors that have been flying about for 
the past two years or more are settled 
by this simple announcement sent out 
from the White House Wednesday. 
The engagement is of particular inter- 
est to North Shore folk, not alone 
because of the national prominence of 
the two young people, but because 
Congressman Longworth is asummer 
resident at Pride’s Crossing and a 
member of the Essex County club 
and of the Myopia Hunt club. The 
past season he was not on the shore, 
‘‘Skerryvore”’ being rented to the 
James Higginsons of New York, and 
Le 
Mr. Longworth accompanying the 
Taft party, of which Miss Roosevelt 
was also a member, to the Philippines. 
Miss Roosevelt is also well known by 
the summer set here. She was much 
feted year before last during her short 
visit to Manchester. Among her most 
intimate acquaintances are Miss Elea- 
nora Sears, the Misses Boardman and 
Mrs. F. L. Higginson, jr. The North 
Shore will no doubt see much of them 
next season.
