NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
VOL. IX 
SOCIETY NOTES. 
A visit to Mrs. Maynard Ladd’s studio Thursday 
morning at Smith’s Point, Manchester, revealed the 
fact that many prominent North Shore matrons are 
becoming zealous patrons of the arts and in this par- 
ticular—that of sculpture and honoring the creative 
senius of Mrs. Ladd. Some of the commissions include 
a bronze figure of ‘‘Youth’’ for Mrs. Gordon Abbott 
of Boston and West Manchester. Two classical tablets 
fer the library of Mrs. J. Warren Merrill of Boston and 
Manchester, were also shown. An inspiring male figure 
in bronze with an eagle poised above his head and 
entitled ‘‘America’’ was a replica of the commission 
from John Hays Hammond. Mrs. Henry S. Grew 2d, 
has commissioned Mrs. Ladd to make her an original 
fountain group and this fall one of Mrs. Ladd’s original 
fountain conceptions will be set up at the Wm. Phillips 
estate, Wenham. Mrs. Ladd’s sojourns in Paris and 
Italy the past winter added further to her skill and 
international reputation. Mrs. Ladd and her works are 
extensively exploited in the Art publications, ‘‘The 
International Studio’’ and ‘‘Art and Progress.’’
