‘‘Hagle Rock,’’ the Frick mansion 
at Pride’s, will be kept open all win- 
ter, where the Frick family will 
spend the major portion of their 
time. During January the family 
plan to make a short European trip. 
Mr. Frick is especially devoted to 
the North Shore and would be quite 
willing to call it his permanent 
home. The ladies of the family have 
many Pittsburg and New York affili- 
ations so they will make frequent 
visits to those cities. The Frick pri- 
vate car is a happy medium to 
gratify their pleasure in those re- 
spects.
