Mrs. C. A. Munn, who has been 
spending the winter at Beverly Cove, 
with her son-in-law and daughter, 
Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Amory, left 
Monday for Washington to spend a 
couple of months before returning 
to Manchester for the season, It is 
her first visit to Washington since 
her serious illness a year ago, and it 
is pleasing to her host of friends to 
know that she has so far recovered 
as to be able to open her residence in 
Washington for a while. Mr. and 
Mrs. Amory are remaining at Bevy- 
erly, but they plan to go to Washing- 
ton later for some of the after- 
Lenten festivities Mrs. Munn would 
have returned a little earlier, had she 
not desired to be here Sunday for the 
christening of her little grandson, T’. 
Dennie Boardman, 2d. 
SOCIETY NOTES 
Despite the very wintery weather 
there is much evidence of activity 
among real estate men in leasing 
estates on the North Shore for the 
coming season,—more activity than 
usual, which would indicate that. the 
season is to be a busy one. ‘There 
is also indications that the season 
will be earlier than usual from the 
preparations which are already ap- 
parent looking toward the opening 
of houses next month. The splen- 
did sleighing the past week has 
brought many to the Shore. ‘The 
scores of year-round dwellers are en- 
joying the sport to the utmost. 
oO 
Mrs. John T, Willetts of New 
York, who had the Payson cottage 
at Manchester Cove last season, is 
to return to the Shore the coming 
summer, but this year she will be 
at Beverly Cove, where she will have 
the Amory A, Parerence cottage. 
Mr. and Mrs. Gerald L, Hoyt 
(Mary Appleton) of New York are 
to return to the Shore this year. 
They have taken the Dudley L. Pick- 
man (Grey) house at Beverly Cove, 
occupied last year by the Robert Jor- 
dans. This is not far from the Endi- 
cott cottage which they occupied last 
season.

The George H, Swifts of Boston 
are to join the Manchester colony 
this year, They have just leased the 
Richards M. Bradley estate at 
Smith’s Point. Last year they had 
one of the cottages connected with

Miss Katherine Jones of St. 
Augustine, Fla., has re-leased the

All of the above houses were 
leased through the Boardman office 
of Boston and Manchester, who han- 
dle practically all of the summer 
property between Beverly and Mag- 
nolia, and who report the prospect 
of a very active season. 
The thing that this country needs 
most is peace on the part of the Gov- 
ernment toward the men who main- 
tain big payrolls—The Phillistine.

SOCIETY NOTES 
Mr. and Mrs. Reginald Boardman 
(nee Carrie Munn) were hosts for a 
most delightful gathering last Sun- 
day afternoon at their year-round 
home at West Manchester when 
their young heir, now 20 months old, 
was christened. Bishop Smith came 
on from Washington for the occasion 
which was a most joyous one for the 
members of both families, and their 
friends. ‘Thomas Dennie Boardman, 
2d, was the name presented to this 
the only grandchild to bear the Board- 
man name,—after its grandfather, 
Mr, TT. Dennie Boardman.

The birth of a daughter in Wash- 
ington a week ago last Sunday to 
Lieut, C. R. P, Rogers, U. S. N., and 
Mrs. Rogers, brings great rejoicing 
in the von L, Myer family and their 
outside affiliations. Mrs, Rogers was 
Miss Alys Meyer. Though the Rog- 
ers lived quietly last summer at their 
country home outside of Washington 
they plan to come to the North Shore 
for part of the coming summer, to 
be near Mrs. Rogers’ family at Ham- 
ilton. 
Charles A, Munn, Jr., of Man- 
chester and Washington, is one of 
the very few members hereabouts of 
the Aero Club of America. W. Star- 
ling Burgess of Marblehead is an- 
other member. 
When James T. Brady first opened 
a lawyer’s office in New York he took 
a basement room which had been pre- 
viously occupied by a cobbler. He 
was somewhat annoyed by the previ- 
ous occupant’s callers and irritated 
by the fact that he had few of his 
own. One day an Irishman entered. 
“The cobbler’s gone, I see?” he 
said, 
“T should think he has,” tartly re- 
sponded Brady. 
“And what do you sell?” said the 
visitor, looking at the solitary table 
and a few law books. 
“Blockheads,” responded Brady. 
“Begorra,” said the Irishman, “ye 
must be doing a mighty fine business 
—ye ain't but one left.” 
“One sure thing!” says Fra Hub- 
bard, “the X-Ray gown makes it im- 
possible for a man to hid successfully 
behind a woman’s skirts.”
