SOCIETY NOTES 
North Shore people will ‘be much 
interested in the engagement an- 
nounced in New York yesterday, of 
Miss Jane McLeod Fairfield, daugh- 
ter of Mrs. James Cummings Barz, 
and Landon Humphreys, the son of 
Rev. Dr. and Mrs. F. Landon 
Humphreys of Morristown, N. J., and 
New York. Though the Humph- 
reys maintain a year-round home in 
Morristown—‘‘Llwynderry,” one of 
the most beautiful estates of the 
fashionable colony—they are not 
strangers to the North Shore, where 
they pay frequent visits to the New 
York and Morristown set, coming 
usually in their large yacht ‘““Wataw- 
ga.” Landon Humphreys was here 
tor a nubmery of parties last summer, 
and Miss Fairfield was a guest of 
Mrs. Humphreys on the yacht on 
several occasions. Mr. Humphreys 
left Princeton to study medicine, so 
as to take his place at the head of 
the large company bearing the fam- 
ily name, founded by his late grand- 
father and from which the tamily 
has derived its large fortune. He 
has just returned trom a short holi- 
day in a private car party to Florida 
where the family always goes for the 
Palm Beach season. Miss Fairfield 
is well known to the North Shore 
and Boston set, as the Barrs have a 
summer cottage at Beverly Farms 
which is kept open practically the 
year round, and also in New York, 
where they have an apartment at the 
Ritz-Carlton. The family also has 
a beautiful country place in New 
Hampshire, where Mr. Barr’s fam- 
ily own the larger part of the beau- 
tiful hilly town of New Ipswich, 
right in the midst of that rapidly 
growing center for country estates. 
Though Miss Fairfield is only eigh- 
teen and has not yet made her debut, 
she appears older than she really is, 
and has associated with girls in the 
older set in New York where she 
was at school. She also spent a year 
in Paris at school, the year before 
her mother’s second marriage. Sev- 
eral weeks ago she was one of the 
most admired girls at the dinner- 
dance given by her best friend, Mrs. 
Frederick P. Humphreys, in Morris- 
town, for sub-debutantes, but which 
many of the girls already out at- 
tended, including Miss Mercedes de 
Acosta, Miss Vouletti Proctor, Miss 
Dorothy Renard, Mrs. Peter Freling- 
huysen and Miss Freda Mortimer, 
now Mrs, Jack Rutherford, who is 
a sister of Richard Mortimer, Jr., of 
the Beverly Farms summer colony. 
It was intended that Miss Fairfield

RESOLUTIONS. 
In line with the reference on an- 
other page to the new society known 
as the “Life Extension Institute,” 
the pamphlet just issued, entitled 
“One Hundred Helps to Live One 
Hundred Years,” is quite apropos. 
Here are a few of the admonitions, 
which might have made the basis of 
your New Year resolutions: 
“The first, and perhaps the most 
important, rule is to breathe deeply. 
Get the habit. Always breathe from 
the nose, 
“Keep in the open air and in the 
sunlight as much as possible. Not 
once a week, but once a day, and at 
least an hour a day. Remember that 
where the sun does not shine diseases 
breed. 
“‘Be sure to give all your muscles 
exercise every day. Walking will 
not do this; you must use dumbbells 
or other devices, and be sure that 
it is in the fresh air. 
“Walk as much as possible. Never 
take a car of carriage if your des- 
tination is within five miles, unless 
you are pressed for time. 
“Learn to sleep comfortably with 
your bed between two open windows 
(a corner preferred), so that there 
will be a movement of air across your 
pillow. 
“Before dressing take a little ex- 
ercise, with windows still open, In- 
flate your lungs, then slap your chest 
with your fists, which bounces the 
air into every cell, Be sure to bring 
every muscle into action. 
“After exercising take a cold bath. 
If cold water is too much, try luke 
should come out next winter and sev- 
eral parties had already been planned 
in her honor, in Boston, New York 
and Washington. She is going 
abroad this winter, and will sail on 
La France from New York next 
Wednesday to be under the chaper- 
onage of Mrs. John McClure of Par- 
is and her sister, Lady Lees of Eng- 
land, wife of Sir Harcourt Lees. 
Miss Fairfield comes from Puritanic 
stock on both sides. On her mother’s 
side she comes from the King Cart- 
ers, and is related to the Randolphs 
and the Lees and Pages of Virginia, 
and also to the Morrises and the Liv- 
ingstons of New York. The great 
grandfather on her father’s side was 
John Fairfield of Maine, twice gov- 
ernor, and who died when a member 
of the U. S. Senate,
