NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Vol. XI 
SOCIETY NOTES 
By far the most important real estate transaction 
on the North Shore this fall is the purchase of the beau- 
tiful estate of the late Charles Head, at Manchester, by 
the Dr. J. Henry Lancashires. The property is located 
on the northerly end of Dana’s beach, and is bounded on 
one side by the R. H, Dana estate and on the other by 
the Sturgis property. The F. M. Whitehouse property 
is just a short distance away. ‘The house fronts on the 
beach and a sweep of the coast from Magnolia to Mar- 
blehead is obtained from the piazzas. There are II 1-4 
acres of land, and besides a large residence there is a 
stable and garage on the estate; also beautiful flower 
and vegetable gardens. The avenue leading to the house 
leads through a beautiful stretch of woods, winding over 
a hill to the main highway, coming out on Summer street 
in that section of the Manchester Cove woods pronounced 
the most charming on the whole North Shore. The pur- 
chase includes the furnishings. Payne Whitney and fam- 
ily occupied the estate the last summer. Otto H. Kahn 
and family, paid $1000 a week for it for a period of to 
weeks a few years ago. The property was bought from 
the two daughters of the late Mr. and Mrs. Head,— 
Mrs. H. M. Clark and Mrs, Philip Stockton, and was 
handled through the real estate office of TT. Dennie 
Boardman and Reginald and Richard Boardman of the 
Ames Bldg., Boston. The Lancashires have been coming

The Magnolia Grille and Motor club, which is being 
kept open ail winter, is proving quite an attraction for 
movorists. Being in such convenient motoring distance 
ot boston it promises to be a popular piace auring the 
usually quiet months. A merry party which took sup- 
per there last Sunday night was composed of Miss Juha 
Sanderson, who is the attractive httle star in ‘lhe Sun- 
shine Girl,” now appearing at the Hollis Street theatre, 
boston, and about 30 of her friends. Miss Sanderson 
is by no means a stranger to the North Shore, as she 
spends her summers with her mother at Pigeon Cove. 
Mr, and Mrs. Richard S. Lovering (Mary Eliot) will 
soon move into their new house at Manchester.

Tue Breverty Beacon flashed out its light last Sat- 
urday, but has not disappeared. For years to come it will 
be possible to find scores of copies that have been laid 
caretully away and the issue is worthy of preservation. 
The publication was a worthy production and reflects 
credit upon the enterprising women who conceived and 
executed the idea. The general form of the paper was 
well arranged and the articles unusually well written and 
interesting because of the local color. ‘There are many 
articles which will well repay a second reading. ‘There 
are two commanding articles, however, that will be of 
general interest, — the “Conclusions of an Anti-Suffra- 
gist” by Caroline Atwater Mason, andthe article on 
“Lucy Larcom, A Memory,” by Mary Larcom Dow of 
Beverly Farms. ‘The article by Caroline Atwater Mason 
throws another light upon the suffrage question, that. it, 
that there are women as determined not to have equal 
suffrage as there are women desirous of the suffrage 
privilege. No one ever questioned the right of women 
to the ballot but this writer evidently voices an unheard 
host who are passively resisting equal suffrage. Mrs. 
Dow’s tribute is a literary gem and more than one copy 
of the Beacon has been scissored and the article neatly 
pasted within the inner cover of Lucy Larcom’s work. If 
the pen that wrote the “Witch Hazel Flower of Mem- 
ory” to Lucy Larcom will only write more, her memories 
will be read with interest and appreciation by many. The 
issue was a success and it 1s good news to know that the 
financial returns were good. Why not? When the wo- 
men set themselves to a task they always succeed,
