MANCHESTER, MASS., FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 1911. 
SOCIETY NOTES 
Associate Justice Oliver Wendell 
Holmes of the supreme court of the 
United States celebrated his 7oth 
birthday anniversary, Wednesday. 
This age makes him eligible for re- 
tirement, but his service, now less 
than nine years, will not permit his 
retiring on full pay. The law requires 
a service of ten years. A bouquet of 
violets placed before the justice’s seat 
on the bench alone indicated the na- 
ture of the occasion. The flowers 
were the compliments of Justice Har- 
lan, the only member of the court 
now eligible in all respects to retire- 
ment. Justice Holmes, as an honored 
and distinguished resident of the 
North Shore at Beverly Farms, re- 
ceived the usual felicitations on the 
occasion from the North Shore con- 
tingent at the capital.

March 27 will be the date of the 
wedding of the Countess Alexandra 
Von Bernstorff, daughter of the Ger- 
man ambassador at Washington, and 
Count Pourtales of the diplomatic 
staff of the embassy. There is much 
North Shore society interest in the 
event since the embassy has made 
their summer headquarters on the 
North Shore for several summers, 
though the ambassador and family 
will summer in Europe.
