Cards have been receive! for the 
wedding of Miss Gladys Amelia 
Cupples Scudder to Henry Mckee 
at the home of the former's imother, 
Mrs. William Henry Scudder, at 
ac7q0, West.Pane) Boulevard... (St. 
Louis; Mo. The wedding, which 
was one of the most brilliant affairs 
of St. Louis society this winter, took 
place at 3.30 Tuesday afternoon. The 
Scudders are among the older class 
of summer residents at Magnolia, 
coming very early in the season and 
staying until November. The bride 
is the elder daughter, a tall slender 
girl, fond of dancing, walking and, 
in fact, all kinds of sports. She was 
much in demand for all the gayeties 
of the season at Magnolia and, last 
summer, she was a familiar figure 
at the North Shore Swimming club. 
It was learned yesterday that the 
North Shore Grille and the Stearns 
Villa at Magnolia have already been 
leased for the summer, the latter for 
the first time in several seasons. Mr. 
and Mrs. Edwin S. Wiltbank of Bos- 
ton are the lessees and they are plan- 
ning on many changes and. improve- 
ments at the Grille, which is one of 
the most popular places of its sort 
along the North Shore. Mr. Wilt- 
bank is a well known hotel man, hav- 
ing had charge of the Seaside House 
at Atlantic City, of the Hotel Cham- 
berlain at Old Point Comfort and 
of Snow Hills Hotel at Bermuda

Winters on the North Shore are 
not what they used to be. It was 
not so many years ago that the end 
of the summer season saw the last 
of the summer cottagers, so-called, 
until the warm weather drove then 
back to the shore the next season. 
Not so now; there is quite as much 
evidence of their presence here in 
winter now as there formerly was in 
summer. No less than forty houses 
are open this winter and there ‘s 
more Or less entertaining going on 
all the time. The year-round colony 
on the North Shore is fast growing.

SOCIETY NOTES 
R. L. Agassiz of Hamilton has 
given up polo and will sell his string 
of ponies in New York within a 
short time. His retirement from tlie 
game is permanent as he feels that 
he must devote his time to business. 
Mr Agassiz has been for years in 
the forefront of American polo 
players. He has been captain of the 
Myopia Hunt club team, and has plav- 
ed on most of the fields in this coun- 
try. In 1912, when the English team 
retained possession of the interna- 
tional polo cup Mr. Agassiz played 
No. 1 in the first match, which was 
won by the Americans, and back in 
the two following matches, The 
match wag played at Hurlingham. In 
1911, at Meadow Brook, Mr. Agassiz 
was one of the substitutes. He has 
been noted as a daring and skilful 
player. When the invitations were 
issued for the polo candidates to com- 
pete for this year’s international 
team at Lakewood, where George 
Gould placed the Georgian Court 
fields at their disposal, Mr, Agassiz 
was one of the fifteen selected. He 
felt obliged to decline, however, for 
business reasons, and his determina- 
tion to retire from the game is final. 
He felt that it would be impossible 
for him to participate in the Lake- 
wood practice and attend to his busi- 
ness here as vice president of the 
Calumet & Hecla Mining company 
and the other thiry corporations in 
which he is an officer or director.

these days; a woman with a sweet 
dignity that well befitted her in her 
devotion to her home and family, She

tending a helping hand
