SOCIETY NOTES 
Through the generosity of Eben 
D. Jordan of Boston and West Man- 
chester, the New England Conserva- 
tory of Music has received the title 
~ to a lot of 11,350 feet of land front- 
ing on Huntington avenue, Boston, 
and adjoining the Conservatory 
building. The land conveyed to the 
conservatory by Mr. Jordan is 
assessed for $31,200. It has a front- 
age of 40 feet on Huntington ave- 
nue. It supplements Mr. Jordan’s 
munificent gift of Jordan Hall in the 
Conservatory building and numer- 
ous other benefactions which are as- 
sisting to make Boston such a musi- 
eal centre. 
North Shore society was promi- 
nently identified with the Hasty 
Pudding Club’s musical show at the 
elubhouse, Cambridge, Thursday 
evening. Tonight and tomorrow 
night at Jordan hall, Boston, the 
show will be repeated. Kermit 
Roosevelt assumed the role of Hilda 
Imogene Pratt, a suffragette. Rich- 
ard B. Wigglesworth of Manchester 
and Frederick Ayer Jr., of Pride’s 
appeared in the debutante’s chorus. 
W. D. Sohier Jr., of Burgess Point, 
“Beverly, appeared in the society 
men’s chorus and C. E. Cotting of 
West Manchester in the _ butlers’ 
chorus. The play is called ‘‘The 
Crystal Gazer.’’ The music ranges 
from some frankly sentimental 
songs to topical songs. There are 
funny specialties and burlesques on 
the Russian dancers. 
Dame rumor has it that Mrs. Ava 
Willing-Astor, former wife of Col. 
John Jacob Astor of New York and 
Newport, will wed Burdett-Coutts, 
an Englishman born in America. 
This is interesting to North Shore 
society as Mrs. Astor was Ava Will- 
ing of Philadelphia. Burdett- 
Coutts is a writer, philanthropist 
and parliamentarian. The Burdett- 
Coutts mansion will be occupied by 
Mr. and Mrs. John Hays Hammond 
during the coronation. 
Charles Dewey Hilles, the new 
secretary President Taft will bring 
to Montserrat the coming summer, 
is termed quite the handsomest man 
in high official circles in Washington. 
Although 48 years old, he does not 
look 35. He began his career as a 
private secretary to the superin- 
tendent of the Ohio Industrial school 
for street boys. In 1902, he received 
a call from New York City and 
founded the famous ‘‘Children’s 
Village’’ at Echo Hills, Dobbs Ferry. 
This represented, the most advanced 
development yet suggested by penol-

famous conference at the White 
House on children called by Ex. 
Pres. Roosevelt. Later Hilles was 
recommended to Pres. Taft for the 
position of assistant secretary of the 
treasury, which he resigned for the 
secretaryship. The children of the 
secretary and Mrs. Hilles are Miss 
Elizabeth, who is attending Miss 
Master’s school at Dobbs Ferry, and 
two sons, Frederick W. and Charles 
D. Jr., who are at the Morgan school 
in Washington. The family occu-
