SOCIETY NOTES 
That Dr. J. H. Laneashire is sur- 
rounded by a halo of good cheer and 
brotherly spirit elsewhere than on 
the North Shore is evidenced by the 
following from one of our Ex- 
changes, the Pasadena (Cal.) Daily 
News: ‘‘One of the Huntington 
hotel guests this week is my old 
friend Dr. J. H. Lancashire, who, 
with his charming wife and son; is 
making a return visit to Southern 
California after an interval of eigh- 
teen years. When I first knew the 
doctor he was the presiding genius 
of a sanitarium at Alma, Michigan, 
which property his father-in-law, 
Ammi Wright the wealthy lumber- 
man of that city, had built in order 
to keep his daughter near the home 
place. Dr. Laneashire’s activities 
gave the sanitarium a national repu- 
tation and half of Chicago, I verily 
believe, visited it in the ten years it 
was in the doctor’s chargé. Then 
Mr. Wright suggested that the Mas- 
ons were in need of an old folk’s 
home and he prevailed on his son- 
in-law to relinquish its care and 
made a present of the beautiful 
place just as it stood, including its 
well stocked silver and linen, to- 
gether with a deed to the property, 
to the Masonic order. I don’t know 
how many millions Ammi Wright 
left at his demise, but I know that it 
was all bequeathed to the daughter 
he idolized, the father’s charitable 
bequests having been numerous in 
his life time, the gift to the Masons 
being a fair sample of his generosity. 
Dr. and Mrs. Laneashire have a 
beautiful home at Manchester-by- 
the-Sea and motor to Boston three 
or four times a week, where the 
doctor maintains an office. Not for 
practice; he long ago abandoned 
that to look after the affairs of the 
estate. Wealth has not affected 
him; he is just the same merry- 
hearted, democratic, unspoiled com- 
rade of old and when he dropped 
in to see me at my Pasadena sane- 
tum the years seemed to have sud- 
denly flown back several decades. 
A trifle stouter, yes, and balder, but 
then Henry was ever prone to thin- 
ness of dome covering. And to 
think that he is a grandfather! O 
tempora, O Moses!”’

Miss Isabel W. Semple of Beverly 
Farms and Philadelphia busies her- 
self with many good works. As ed- 
itor of the Hospital Tidings, a help- 
ful paper published by the Women 
Managers of the Hahnemann Hospi- 
tal association, she has an agreeable 
and useful field for her social ser- 
vice talents. 
E. Burton Holmes, the travel lec- 
turer, has married, Miss Margaret 
Elise Oliver, formerly of Baltimore, 
the culmination of an ocean romance 
that began ten years ago, when they 
met on board the Lahn, crossing the 
Atlantic. They became engaged, but 
later the engagement was broken, 
with afterwards a reconciliation. For 
the last few years Miss Oliver has 
devoted her time to photography, 
and last summer had a studio at East 
Gloucester... She is the daughter of 
the late Charles Kemble Oliver. 
Mr. and Mrs. Walter D. Denégre 
of New Orleans, who are of the 
North Shore summer cottagers, have 
left their home for Washington with 
their débutante daughter, Miss Elaine 
Denégre. They will remain in Wash- 
ington a few weeks, after which they 
will open their summer home, “Villa 
Crest,” at West Manchester, for the 
season. 
Mr. and Mrs. John M. Graham of 
Boston will be among the early arri- 
vals at Manchester this spring. They 
will open their house on Smith’s 
Point—the former Merrill home- 
stead—the first week in April and 
will arrive shortly after that for the 
season.
