been a great aid toward the rapid 
construction of the new summer 
home of Russell Codman of Boston 
at Smith’s Point, Manchester. The 
house is enclosed and roofed. 
The Charles H. Tweeds of New 
York closed their residence on 
West Beach Hill, Beverly Farms,

Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Newbold, 
of New York, the latter a daughter 
of Hon. T. Jefferson Coolidge of 
Dartmouth street, Boston, and Man- 
chester, and their family have 
closed their summer home at Hyde 
Park, N. Y., and have returned to 
New York city for the winter. They 
spent several weeks the past season 
at Pride’s with Mrs. Lucius Man- 
linus Sargent, Mrs. Newbold’s sister. 
Mrs. John Hays Hammond is 
considered one of the strongest per- 
sonalities in Washington society. 
She is as dominant a figure in her 
world as Mr. Hammond is appraised 
in his. Among her most interesting 
characteristics is her feeling for 
suffering humanity. Mr. and Mrs. 
Ilammond after sereval years of 
vexatious delays are about to take 
possession of their home in Sheri- 
dan Circle, one of the most complete 
and ornate mansions in the capital. 
They have resided for the past three 
winters in the home of the former 
Vice President and Mrs. Levi P. 
Morton, at the intersection of Rhode 
Tsland avenue and 15th street, and 
they added largely to the social his- 
tory of that historical house.
