“‘Rockledge’’ the summer home of Mr. and Mrs. 
J. Harrington Walker at Magnolia, was opened Mon- 
day for the season. No house along the North Shore 
has a more beautiful situation or outlook than ‘‘Rock- 
ledge’? which, as the name implies, is built on the 
rocks rising straight up out of the ocean’s edge at the 
tip of Magnolia Point. The Walkers are Detroit peo- 
ple who spend long seasons on the Shore. The young 
people of the family are very popular with the North 
Shore colony. :

Mrs. A. Octavia Wilkins of Cambridge is recuperat- 
ing from a severe nervous illness at her summer cot- 
tage, the ‘‘Villa,’’ at peenols. 
Norman Prince returned last week on the Lusitania 
after a winter in France, and is again at the family 
estate at Hamilton. He brought home a 160-horsepow- 
er motor which he believes will go a long way toward 
elping to win the Coupe Internationale d’Aviation if 
installed in the proper Rage 
The Clement Houghtons of Chestnut hill will not 
be at their estate at Coolidges Point, Manchester, as 
early as usual this year. Mrs. Houghton sails tomor- 
row on the Berlin from New York to join her daugh- 
ter Elizabeth, who has been at school. They will not 
return until the late summer. 
Charles Hoyle and Dr. Harry Shuman motored 
to Magnolia from Boston Monday to look over their 
property there in preparation for the season. Dr. Shu- 
man with his wife and three-year-old son, Richard, 
will occupy the same cottage on Lexington avenue as 
formerly.

Mr. and Mrs. Louis Agassiz Shaw, who have a 
- beautiful country estate at Beverly Farms where they 
live the year round, have under construction at Peter- 
boro, N. H., a large bungalow which they will go 
to for the autumn season. The property comprises a 
number of acres of what was formerly farm land. Mr. 
and Mrs. Shaw went there last year for a few weeks, 
and they liked so well they decided to build. The 
bungalow is of the H type with two ells 70 by 40 feet, 
and a 40-foot connection between. The little courts 
thus formed will be beautifully laid out with flower 
beds and fountains. The bungalow will be of two 
stories. The property is quite near the extensive es- 
tate of Mrs. B. P. Cheney and her son-in-law and 
daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Kaul Kauffman, and her 
daughter-in-law, Mrs. Schofield, and Prof. Schofield, 
a!l of whom live there the greater portion of the year. 
Mrs. Shaw’s sister, Mrs. Robert Perkins Bass, and the 
ex-governor live in the same part of Peterboro. This 
section of New Hampshire—Dublin, Hillsboro, Peter- 
boro, New Ipswich, Jaffrey and East Jaffrey, Ringe 
and West Ringe—is fast filling up with a colony of 
Boston and New York people, that give promise of 
its some day rivaling the North Shore in popularity.

Dr. and Mrs. C. A. Porter are not going to be at 
Beverly Farms this summer. Mrs. Porter with their 
three children and their governess sail on June 16th 
for Seotland, where they are to spend the entire sum- 
mer with Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Demar, Mrs. Porter’s 
parents, at Forres in the Highlands. Dr. Porter ex- 
pects to join them in August in time for some grouse 
shooting.

Mr. and Mrs. Bryee J. Allan of the Beverly Cove 
colony, Mrs. Wm. F. Draper and Miss Margaret Pres- 
ton Draper of Washington and Manchester, and Henry 
C. Frick of Pride’s Crossing were passengers on the 
last out-going trip of the Imperator from New York. 
The Allans expect to return early in June. 
Mr. and Mrs. Solomon 'P. Stratton of Boston, who 
have taken the Wilkins cottage at Magnolia for an- 
other season, will have with them, as they had part 
ot last summer, their daughter, Mrs. Neils Christensen 
of Beaufort, S. C., and her little son, who was born last 
autumn at the Stratton Boston home on Beacon st. 
Mr. Christensen will join them for a few weeks’ visit, 
too.

Mr. and Mrs. George L. Hamilton of Newbury 
- street, Boston, were at Magnolia the first of the week 
preparatory to opening their cottage for the summer. 
The Hamiltons have spent the winter in Egypt.

The James C. Barrs are to spend the spring and 
early summer at their new country estate at New Ip- 
swich, N. H., but they are to return to the North Shore 
in July for the mid-summer. Their cottage at Beverly 
Farms has been leased for five years to the manager 
of Judge Moore’s stable. The Barrs have been look- 
ing for a larger house for some time and they will un- 
doubtedly find one as they have no intention of sever- 
ing their connections with the Shore and their friends 
here. Mr. and Mrs. Barr have just been over to Phil- 
adelphia for the wedding of Miss Constance Lippincott 
and Douglas Franchot. They are going to Washing- 
ton shortly for the wedding of Miss Frances Brooke 
to Edward Fletcher.

Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Clark Grew are arranging 
to leave Berlin for America the first week in May for 
a visit with Mr. Grew’s people in Boston and at West 
Manchester, and with Mrs. Grew’s family, the Perrys, 
who summer in New Hampshire. Many delightful 
little functions will be planned in their honor as usual. 
They had a country estate in northern Germany last 
year, but the year before that they came to America. 
Mr. Grew’s leave of absence will hold until the middle 
of July, but it may not mean that Mrs. Grew and chil- 
dren will go back that early. Once before Mr. Grew 
came back to accompany Mrs. Grew and children on 
their return to Germany. In fact it would seem that 
Mr. Grew’s interest in yachting might be a means of 
holding him here for the races at Marblehead in August.
