Summer folk at Marblehead will find the Western 
Union Telegraph office changed from the store of Girdler 
Stacey to its new home in the Odd Fellows block. The 
earliest summer resident remembers Mr. Stacey as the 
man in charge of the Marblehead office of the cable com- 
pany, for he has managed it for the last 35 years. Pres- 
sure of his regular business makes it necessary for him 
to relinquish the cable business. 
Sunday train service on the Swampscott and Marble- 
head branch will be resumed the coming Sunday, May 7. 
Robert B. T. Williams, eldest son of the postmaster 
of Marblehead, will have charge of the store and post- 
office at the Neck this summer.

WAMPSCOTT’S 
section—and 
means practically all of the seashore town, is gradually 
getting ready for a season that will let people know the 
summer resort 
North Shore is alive. It is early yet to- expect all of the 
summerites to be lodged on the shore now, but a surpris- 
ing large number have been quartered in this section for 
a fortnight or more. 
One of the most charming new summer residences 
on the Swampscott shore is that being built for Maurice 
J. Curran of Andover on Atlantic avenue. It 1s a pre- 
tentious structure and will be an ideal summer home. 
Extensive grounds will lend themselves to development 
on the estate. Mr. Curran expects to occupy his new home 
by the latter part of June. 
Things are moderately quiet at the Tedesco Country 
club, but it is only a short-time to May 30, when every- 
thing will open up “full blast,’ to use the vernacular. 
Tomorrow (Saturday) evening Mr. and Mrs. Eugene 
W. Ong will give a dinner and dancing party to 100 of 
their friends along the shore and from Boston and Brook- 
line. ‘The Ongs have been down for three weeks at their 
estate, “Dorrich,” on Atlantic avenue. Mr. Ong is now 
one of the executive heads of the United Fruit Co. Mr. 
and Mrs. Ong, with the Andrew W. Prestons, parents 
of Mrs. Ong, are almost daily visitors at the club in mid- 
summer. The two children of the Ongs, Dorothy and 
Richard, form a part of the nucleus of children who now 
get their morning sun bath on the Swampscott shore. 
The Oakland House, managed by Mr. and Mrs. 
Mason, will probably open early this year, although the 
date has not been set as yet. The grounds have been ptt 
in excellent condition and minor changes have been made 
in the hostelry itself. The Little Brown Tea Room, 
which is on the Oakland grounds, operated by Mrs. Emily 
Brown, will be open to the public again this summer. It 
is run for the benefit of the Boston Home for Crippled 
Children. 
“Green Gates,” the summer residence of Mr. and 
Mrs. Simon Vorenberg on Puritan road, is radiant in its 
spring dress of greenery. It will not be long before the 
Italian garden on this estate will bloom in all its vari- 
colored splendor. The Vorenbergs, with Fred and Samuel 
Vorenberg, will come to the shore within a short time. 
AHANT cottagers are opening their houses for the 
summer, and leases are being made of estates and 
houses with more activity than usual. The Sears estate 
has been leased this week to Mrs. Amory A. Lawrence 
of 61 Commonwealth ave., Boston. The Stackpolg¢ house 
has been leased to Mr. and Mrs. David M. Osborne 
(Dorothy Dexter) of 122 Bay State Road, Boston. Both 
these rentals were made through the Boardman office ot 
the Ames Bldg., Boston.
