SOCIETY NOTES 
aa 
_ Evidences of a very interesting 
and active social season are to be 
seen on every hand. The North 
Shore is to continue to be the center 
of social life of the country again 
the coming season. It will be more 
than ever the summer capital of ‘the 
nation. It is evident that every cot- 
tage on the Shore will be occupied 
this summer. Real estate men say 
the call for houses and estates is un- 
precedented and it is going to be a 
case of the ‘‘early bird’’, for those 
who wait until the season is on be- 
fore taking a cottage will be dis- 
appointed this season. A great 
many new families are coming to 
the Shore this year,—that is, new- 
comers here. Ordinarily the corona- 
tion would take many families 
_ abroad for the summer, but most all 
of those who go over for the coro- 
mation will return here for the sum- 
mer. 
—_—x— 
Among the new-comers to the 
Shore this year will be the Perey D. 
Haughtons of Boston,—Mr. Haugh- 
ton, being the well known Harvard 
football! coach. They will occupy 
the John H. Storer cottage at 
Smith’s Point, Manchester. The 
Storers are in mourning for Mrs. 
Storer’s father, the late Robert Treat 
Paine. They will spend the early 
season at their estate in Waltham as 
usual, and will sail for Liverpool 
early in July, as soon as the schools 
close. They have engaged passage 
on the Cymric,—Mr. and Mrs. Storer, 
'R. T. P. Storer, who is a Harvard 
Freshman this year, and two of the 
daughters. Their large touring car 
will-be shipped along in advance and 
after several week in England they 
will cross over to France and will 
spend the balance of the summer 
touring Northern France.
