July 9, 1915, 
Magnolia, had a little over four 
hundred guests registered last night—quite a village 
in itself—and this number will be increased by Sunday, 
it is expected, to nearly five hundred. The bookng for 
July and August would indicate a full house the rest of 
the summer, and full house with the Oceanside, with its 
twenty cottages and the big Annex, means 750 people 
and more. The Oceanside season is to be a brilliant one; 
that was expected months ago,—now it is growing into a 
reality. The weather has kept the season back a little, 
but even the weather has been unable to make this year’s 
registration at the Oceanside on a par with last year’s; 
the season has been running ahead of last year every day 
from fifty to seventy guests and last night the actual 
house-count was nearly a hundred ahead of last year. 
The greater proportion of Oceanside guests are here 
for the season; there is very little of the transient busi- 
ness. Most of the guests are families settled for the en- 
tire season or the greater part of it. A great many New 
York people have been among this week’s arrivals, and 
not a few from points farther away. 
Mrs. Francis L. Potts of Philadelphia, who has been 
spending the early summer at Bryn Mawr, Pa., has join- 
ed the Philadelphia people at the Oceanside for July. 
Mrs. Potts, who was Miss Carrie de H. Harrison, has 
been in the habit of spending her summers abroad and 
this is her first prolonged stay on the North Shore. 
Mrs. C. Gray Dinsmore, and maid, New York city, 
arrived at the Oceanside last Saturday to spend July.

One of the most charming young matrons at Mag- 
nolia this summer is Mrs. Robert Graves of New York. 
Mrs. Graves was Mrs. Kingsley Swan (Mabel L. Miller) 
previous to her marriage a year ago last March at Brook- 
lyn to Mr. Graves of the famous wall paper establish- 
ment of that name. Mrs. Graves was most attractive at 
the dance the other night in a beautiful white lace gown. 
Tuesday’s arrivals at the Oceanside included Mrs. 
Clarence F. McMurray, and daughter, Miss M. Mc-

tage for the season.

W. Johnston and two children and maid, and Mrs. John- 
ston’s mother Mrs. A. A. Thomas and maid. They are

land cottage. 
Bostonians to arrive at the Oceanside within the 
last few days include Miss E. M. Harris of Charles. River 
Square, and Miss Mary T. Sawyer, the latter to remain 
through July. Miss Harris is a new-coner here. Mrs. 
A. E. Smith of Worcester, who registered Wednesday is 
a friend of Miss Harris. 
Old-time guests to return to the Oceanside this week 
include Mr. and Mrs. C. I. Hood—the latter of sarsapar- 
illa fame—and Miss Wilder of Lowell. They are here 
for the season, and have rooms in Highland cottage. 
Miss Mary E. Hobart and Mrs. Ellicott Fisher are 
among the Philadelphians to register at the Oceanside 
within the last day or two.
