The following item from Town Topics recalls the 
very delightful thés dansants which Miss Flora Voorhees 
gave at the Oceanside, Magnolia, and other North Shore 
nesorts last summer: “Mrs. Charles Dana Gibson, Mrs. 
‘Percy Turnure, Mrs. Robert Brewster, Mrs. John Harsen 
Rhoades and Miss Mary Callender are among the patron- 
esses of a series of dances to be given in the Green Room 
at the Hotel McAlpin by Miss Flora Voorhees, com- 
“mencing on the twenty-eighth of November. They will 
be held every Monday, Wednesday and Friday evening 
“until Lent. Admission will be limited to subscribers and 
their friends, and no professional dancing will be per- 
“mitted, which will be a relief to many who are tired to 
“death of cabarets and the introduction of professionals 
on the floor for exhibition purposes. Flora Voorhees is 
one of the most popular society girls to take up dancing, 
and her thés dansants at Magnolia, on the North Shore, 
were quite the smartest affairs of the season just past. 
She belongs to the Amsterdam family of Voorhees and 
t has many smart connections in New York.”

leaving his Chicago home, gave, orders to his landscape 
gardener to construct a mall 160 feet wide from his house 
to the ocean, a distance of about 2500 feet. It will be 
covered with green grass, and parallel on either side 
with four rows of trees; and will be the most splendid 
thing of its kind in this or any country. Castle Hill, 
with the improvements now contemplated, promises to 
be one of the great show places of the North Shore.
