Brera: 
HE Oceanside hotel at Magnolia is fast filling; last 
night there were about five hundred and fifty guests 
registered, but this only about two-thirds fills the big 
hotel and ‘Annex, and the score of cottages connected. 
The season is far ahead of last year, and is up to what 
has been anticipated for this season. The Oceanside is 
having a better season than any of the other North Shore 
hotels, apparently, but this is to be expected inasmuch as 
the majority of Oceanside guests are families settled for 
the entire season; the hotel has very little of the transient 
business. 
The dances at the Oceanside Tuesday, Thursday and 
Saturday nights are as popular as ever. Scores of motors 
may be seen lined along the streets about the hotel on 
any of these nights, which tells its own story of the 
pepularity of the Oceanside dances among the cottagers 
along the Manchester, Beverly Farms and Beverly shore, 
as well as at Magnolia. The Oceanside orchestra is con- 
sidered the finest on the North ‘Shore for dance music; 
Director Kanrich seems to know just the proper music to 
give the most enjoyable touch to this feature of the danc- 
ing. It is expected a touch of color may be added to 
the dances the next two weeks because of the presence of 
officers from the battleships which are scheduled to ar- 
rive at Rockport Sunday for a ten-day stay. 
One of the new families to make the Oceanside their 
home this summer is that of Mr. and Mrs. Henry C. 
Irons of Plainfield, N. J. They arrived a week ago to- 
day and are settled in Perkins cottage. Besides Mr. and 
Mrs. Irons there is a daughter, Helen, and two sons,— 
Henry C., Jr., and William G. Irons, 2d.

Miss Marguerite F. Collins of Newton is at the 
Oceanside this season in charge of the dancing for the 
“kiddies,” and arrangements are being made for dancing 
classes among the children, not only at the Oceanside, but 
from all along the shore. Already classes are in embryo 
formation from various communities. Miss Collins has 
been instructor of modern and folk dancing at the Mount 
Ida school for girls, Newton, the last year. She has also 
had several exclusive clubs in Newton and in Wellesley 
the past season. The idea of having someone to look 
after the amusement of the little tots at the Oceanside, 
giving especial attention to their dancing, is a new feature 
this year and one that is sure to prove popular. 
Mr. and Mrs. Elias Ponvert, who are spending the 
summer at the Lee cottage on Magnolia Point, are taking 
their meals at the Oceanside. In the party besides Mr. 
and Mrs. Ponvert are Josepha Lombard and Eliet Pon- 
vert. The party registers from Cuba. They arrived last 
Friday. 
Percy Lee Atherton was in Magnolia the last week- 
end, for a brief visit, and was a dinner guest at the 
Oceanside of Miss Sarah L. Guild. The Athertons are 
not summering at Magnolia this year, owing to the death 
of Mrs. Atherton, the mother, last winter. 
Mrs. Charles F. Rand and daughters Florence and 
lelen of New York city are among the week’s arrivals 
at the Oceanside. They have rooms in Wilkins cottage. 
Mr. and Mrs. Henry W. Beal and Master Bruce 
Peal of Brookline arrived at the Oceanside last Saturday 
for the summer. They were here last year and have 
many friends who have welcomed them back this week. 
Mrs. Abner A. Wilson of New York and Miss Mary 
Perkins of Brooklyn, new-comers to the Oceanside, ar- 
rived last Saturday for the season. 
Mr. and Mrs. Emery Winship and family, with gov- 
erness, two maids and valet, arrived from Macon, Ga., 
last Sunday to spend the summer at the Oceanside. They 
have apartments in the Fox cottage.
