PSWICH is the center of historicai and social interest 
on the North Shore just now. The old-time celebra- 
tion and festival of the Ipswich Historical society opened 
Wednesday and will continue until the 18th, at the oid 
Whipple House, near the railroad station. Much interest 
has been taken by Ipswich residents and the summer 
colony to make this a notable success. ‘The proceeds will 
be used to defray expenses of the society and to start a 
fund for the building of a memorial building and per- 
manent museum for the society. The visitors to Ipswich 
1 find the oid Whipple House, which dates back to the 
middle of the seventeenth century, a truly venerably 
homely example of early colonial architecture. But one 
forgets the exterior view when, upon entering, the large 
and dignified proportions of the quaintly furnished rooms 
come to his view. Here the life of ye olden time is re- 
produced showing typical scenes illustrating farm, home, 
iidustrial and social activities. | Women weaving and 
spinning are an interesting group. ‘The display of old 
samplers, lace, old china, old fashioned articles of every 
description, all make a fascinating picture well worth go- 
ing a long distance to see. A large display of pewter 1s 
in charge of Mrs. Charles S. Tuckerman of ‘“Applefield,” 
Ipswich. She is assisted by her daughter, Mrs. Louis 
LeB. Chapin of New York. Afternoon tea and other 
refreshments are dispensed from the quaint old kitchen 
kiown as “Widow Lumpkin’s Ordinary.” The “Widow” 
is Mrs. Frederick Ross assisted by Mrs. Wilson Shannon 
Dunn of New York. ‘Tea is served by Mrs. Elbert Tit- 
comb and Mrs. Harry Sayward. Entertainment for the 
afternoon is given by the Greek and Polish children of 
Ipswich who give charming folk dances under the man- 
agement of Miss Amy Stanford and ‘Miss Harriet E. 
Condon. The close of the festival will be marked by a 
large dinner, Tuesday, Aug. 17, at I p. m., after which 
there will be talks by prominent residents of Ipswich and 
descendants of old families of the place. Francis R. 
Appleton will represent the various Appleton families 
who are so closely connected with Ipswich history and 
Sherman L. Whipple of Boston, a direct descendant of 
the early Whipples, will be among the speakers. The 
individuals and. families who have dwelt in the old house 
in sO many generations are of unusual interest. The 
John Whipple of history had among his friends the 
Cheevers, Winthrops,, Dudleys, Saltonstalls, Denisons, 
Symonds, Paynes, Appletons, Rogerses and the Brad- 
streets. Rev. T. F. Waters of Ipswich, president of the 
society, whose historic books of Ipswich are on sale in 
the house, says in one of his writings: “The old man- 
sion is a constant reminder of all the glorious names 
which hallow and illumine the early years of our town 
TOE. sie ae The old pavement in the dooryard rings 
again with the hoofbeats of Capt. Whipple’s horse hurry- 
ing to lead his troopers on a swift ride to Andover to 
repel an Indian assault. John Appleton and Thomas 
French are talking of their imprisonment and trial for

steaming cups and talked of Bunker Hill, Yorktown, 
Washington and Lafayette. The garden at one side of 
the old house was made possible by the generous gift 
from Mrs. William C. Loring of Pride’s Crossing. An 
old building was removed and the little garden was made 
in memory of her father Amos Adams Lawrence, the 
former owner of the Ipswich Mill. Many interesting 
historical tablets are noticed in Ipswich. ‘Those marking 
the spots where Governor Dudley and Simon and ‘Anne 
Bradstreet dwelt are among the smaller ones. . Large
