SOCIETY NOTES 
Mrs. Charles R. Hayden and 
daughter, Mrs. Horace B. Stanton, 
-well known Boston members of the 
Magnolia cottage colony, are re- 
ceiving the sympathy of their many 
North Shore friends in their unfor- 
tunate auto accident near Hotel 
Buckminster, Boston, about 1.35 
o’clock Monday morning. The acci- 
dent happened as they were re- 
turning from a dinner party at the 
home of John Craig, the actor, at 
Brookline. The auto in which they 
were riding crashed into a twenty- 
four-inch water main at the bridge 
on Beacon street near the hotel. 
Mrs. Hayden is suffering from frac- 
tures, cuts and bruises and Mrs. 
Stanton was bruised and_ badly 
shaken up. Mr. Stanton was oper- 
ating the car when the accident oc- 
eurred. Torrents of water poured 
into the street from the broken wa- 
ter main, which added to the dis- 
comfort of the occupants of the ma- 
chine, who were thrown into the 
street from the impact of the col- 
lision. Mrs. Hayden is a sister of 
Miss Fanny M. Faulkner of Boston 
and Magnolia.

Mrs. Bryce J. Allan of Boston and 
Beverly Cove, is believed to have 
been the victim of a woman ‘‘Raf- 
fles,’” who may have stolen Mrs. 
Allan’s $15,000 diamond necklace at 
a recent Back Bay, Boston, wedding. 
The valuable necklace is reported 
missing. In removing her wrap and 
adding the last touch to her toilet, 
the necklace was removed a moment 
from her throat and laid on a dress- 
ing table. When Mrs. Allan turned 
to replace the necklace, it had dis- 
appeared. The necklace was a gift 
to Mrs. Allan from Mr. Allan.

military force within the empire could be called regular. Since 1905, how-

ganized an active force and a first and second reserve. The plan contem-
