NORTH SHORE BREEZE and Reminder As pete 13 
Who is Happier Than the Bride? 
No price is set on the lavish summer; 
June may be had by the poorest comer. 
[¢ IS June on the North Shore. 
And what is so rare as a day in June? 
Then, if ever, come perfect days; 
Then Heaven tries the earth if it be in tune, 
And over it softly her warm ear lays: 
Whether we look, or weather we listen, 
We hear life murmur, or see it glisten; 
*Tis as easy now for the heart to be true 
As for grass to be green or skies to be blue,— 
’Tis the natural way of living. 
Again Lowell says: 
Now is the high-tide of the year, 
And whatever of life hath ebbed away 
Comes flooding back with a ripply cheer, 
Into every bare inlet and creek and bay; 
Now the heart is so full that a drop overfills it, 
We are happy now because God wills it. 
Who is happier than the brides of the season? ‘The 
North Shore has had a goodly number of the season’s 
weddings. Before Easter we chronicled twenty-five wed- 
dings as taking place with North Shore connections, be- 
ginning with the wedding which really opened last year’s 
social affairs on the Shore—that of Miss Hope Norman 
and Elliot Cowdin Bacon of New York, at St. Peter's 
Episcopal Church in Beverly; and ending with the wed- 
ding of March ist, when Miss Elizabeth Prescott Bigelow 
became the bride of Dr. Frank Martin of Baltimore, Md. 
- The North Shore was interested in the wedding on 
April 8th of Miss Dorothy Morgan and Paul Graham 
Courtney in the Arlington street church in Boston. The 
maid of honor, Miss Miriam Mason, is also one of the 
prospective brides of June. 
The wedding of Miss Grace Meeker and Ambrose 
C. Cramer of Chicago, followed on April 12th in the 
Chicago home of the Meekers. The Arthur Meekers 
have been North Shore residents oft and on for years. 
They will be at Beverly Farms this season. 
In Philadelphia on April 15, the marriage of Miss 
Emily Wharton Sinkler to Nicholas Roosevelt took place. 
Mrs. Roosevelt is a niece of Miss Caroline Sinkler of 
Eastern Point, Gloucester.

Among the New York weddings which particularly 
interested the North Shore were several of the Easter 
week. April 27th was the date of the wedding of Miss 
Irene Langhorne Gibson to George B. Post, Jr. 
Miss Barbara Thaw was married to Lieutenant Scott 
B. Macfarlane, U. S. N., on April 28, in New York. 
April 29 marked two weddings of interest, one in 
New York, when Miss Elizabeth B. Wood of the Annis- 
quam colony was married to John Cyrus Distler, Jr.,. of 
Baltimore; and the wedding of Miss Ellen du» Pont. to 
Holliday Meeds, Jr., at Wilmington, Del. 
The first May wedding was on the second day when 
Miss Ruth Cutting, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. Ful- 
ton Cutting, became the bride of Reginald Le Grange 
Auchincloss, a son of Mrs. Edgar §$. Auchincloss, in 
New York. Both families have large North Shore con- 
nections. 
The next wedding, May 20, took place in Manches- 
ter at the Emmanuel Episcopal church. With this wed- 
ding of Miss Rosamond Eliot, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. 
Amory Eliot, and Frederick M. Burnham, the social lite 
on the North Shore was opened for the season of 1916. 
The bride had one attendant—Mrs. Henry St. Joha 
Smith (Constance Wharton). Wm. A. Burnham, Jr., 
was his brother’s best man. A wedding breakfast and 
reception followed at “Wildwood,” the Eliot home at Old 
Neck, Manchester. 
The Washington wedding on May 27th, of Miss 
Harriet Southerland, daughter of Admiral and Mrs. Wm. 
H. H. Southerland, and J. Butler Wright was of interest 
to North Shore society, for the Southerlands have long 
been identified with the social life at Magnolia and Na- 
hant. 
This week has been a week of wedding festivities 
for the North Shore. On Tuesday, May 30, in St. John’s 
Church, Beverly Farms, a wedding of wide interest took 
place, when Miss Josephine Rantoul, daughter of Mr. 
and Mrs. Neal Rantoul, of Boston and Beverly Farms, 
was married to Henry Alexander Murray, Jr., of New 
York. The maid of honor was Miss Harriet Dexter. 
On Wednesday, May 31, the wedding of Miss Ruth 
Harrington, daughter of Mrs. Francis B. Harrington, of 
Boston and Ipswich, and Robert Haydock, of Milton, 
took place in Boston.
