NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
SOCIETY NOTES 
Real estate men say there is an un- 
usual demand for summer cottages 
and estates this year all along the 
North Shore. It is probable that 
there will be very, very few vacant 
estates this season. The places have 
been letting unusually well thus far 
and with the coming of warmer 
weather much activity will be evine- 
ed in this direction.

chester Cove. Louis Herrman is a

so well known as the ‘‘handkerchief 
king’’, and whose widow, Mrs. 
Florence L. Herrman lives at the

mont, in New York.

BIG DAY AT WHITE HOUSE. 
PRESIDENT AND Mrs. Tart To CELE- 
BRATE THEIR SILVER WEDDING. 
It is going to be a great day at the 
White House on June 19 next. It 
will be the 25th anniversary of the 
wedding of President and Mrs. Taft, 
and the silver event, it is now planned, 
will be celebrated at the White 
House and it is to be a great affair. 
It is going to be a “grand jam- 
bourie” as the President, himself 
says. He is looking forward to the 
event. For gayety it is not likely to 
be eclipsed in White House annals. 
Congress should be in session at the 
time and all Washington is sure to 
be there and will, of course, be in- 
vited to participate in so glorious an 
occasion. There have been weddings 
and weddings at the White House, 
but few silver ones, if any, indeed, 
has occurred before.
