NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
VOL. IX 
SOCIETY NOTES 
Mrs. Taft has decided to remain 
in Beverly until October 28th, al- 
though the social season in that city 
is practically over. She and her 
daughter, Helen Taft, have been at 
Paramatta since the middle of June. 
The president’s wife and her daugh- 
ter will proceed directly to Hot 
Springs, Ark., not in search of 
health, but recreation. After a brief 
stay at the Arkansas resort, she wlil 
return to Washington to inaugurate 
the social season at the nation’s cap- 
ital. Mrs. Taft the past few weeks 
has withdrawn to herself a few of 
her most intimate friends. She is 
seen driving most frequently with 
members of the family of John Hays 
Hammond and George von L. Meyer. 
Since the last of August, Mrs. Taft’s 
social life has been quiet and un- 
eventful. A more active social sea- 
son at Beverly than the record 
breaking one of 1911 is predicted for 
the summer of 1912. With an early 
adjournment of Congress likely, 
owing to the approach of the presi- 
dential campaign, the Tafts are ex- 
pected to return to Beverly, June 1, 
1912.

Plans for a Harvard library build- 
ing to cost $2,000,000 and to pro- 
vide room for 2,400,000 books have 
just been drawn up and recom- 
mended by a committee of the board 
of overseers of Harvard College. 
The building will stand where the 
present Gore Hall stands, but it will 
cover several times the area occu- 
pied by that structure and extend 
almost to the Massachusetts avenue 
fence. When completed it will be 
not only the most considerable Har- 
vard building, but it will be the 
largest and most costly university 
building in the United States. 
Harvard’s collection of books is 
really one of the most valuable in 
this country. The committee to visit 
the present Harvard library consists 
of several North Shore summer res- 
idents. Among them are F. R. Ap- 
pleton, Gardiner M. Lane and Alex- 
ander Cochrane. They will be ac- 
tive in Se ey the new library. 
Miss Clara Winthrop of Boston

pastimes which are features of their 
autumn field day as Miss Winthrop’s 
guests.

Seott Clifton Carbee of Boston, a 
leading member of East Gloucester’s 
artistic colony, has received a com- 
mission to paint the family portrait 
of Mrs. Wm. K. Ryan, daughter-in- 
law of Thomas Fortune Ryan, the 
New York magnate. Mrs. Ryan 
summered the past season with her 
three boys at the Harbor View Ho- 
tel, where Mr. Carbee was also a 
guest. The painting, which is to be 
five feet wide and seven feet long, 
will depict Mrs. Ryan and her chil- 
dren in the garden of their seaside 
cottage they occupied this past 
summer at East Gloucester. Mrs. 
Ryan is a beautiful blonde and her 
children are very beautiful also, and 
heir to many millions through the 
death of their father four years ago. 
The ages of the little boys are ten, 
seven and five years. The picture is 
to be presented to their grand- 
father, Thomas Fortune Ryan, for 
his great art gallery in New York.

The Eastern Point section of East 
Gloucester is steadily booming as a 
summer resort. George O. Stacy of 
the Hawthorne Inn has sold_ the 
northeasterly part of the Colonial 
Arms hotel lot comprising an acre to 
Mrs. F. T. Hall of Boston, daughter 
of Mrs. Oakes Ames of the Boston 
and North Easton Ames family. 
Mr. and Mrs. Hall, the former an ar- 
tist, occupied one of the Little cot- 
tages the past season at the Point. 
Mrs. Hall is to erect on her newly 
acquired lot a fine cement and brick 
cottage for next summer. The loca- 
tion is a grand one and is in a fine 
neighborhood. The Sleeper, Snikler 
and Andrew summer homes are in 
this vicinity, also that of Miss Ce-
