AvGust finds the big Oceanside Hotel at Magnolia 
filled to capacity,— just as was expected. The bad 
weather of the last week has not kept people from Mag- 
nolia, and those already here have been perfectly content 
to remain. ‘The Oceanside is always a cheerful place, no 
matter what the Weather Man decrees to dole out in the 
line of weather. Everything points to the whole of 
August being just as big in the line of patronage as this 
first week. The greatest trouble the room clerk at the 
Oceanside has just now is to make good on reservations. 
People book apartments ahead for months, to come to 
the Oceanside for August or some specified time. Others 
have the apartments supposedly for two, three or four 
weeks, and when the time comes to leave Magnolia they 
are so attached to the hotel and the general surroundings 
they are unwilling to leave, and moreover, are unwilling to 
give up their comfortable quarters. Few resort hoteis 
in the country experience difficulties of this kind. 
A crowd of Oceanside young folk went over to Bev- 
erly to the “movies” last Monday night, as a diversion 
and to dispel the gloom caused by the storm. That in- 
dominable personage has little to do at the Oceanside, 
however, for he is easily dispelled by-the element of good 
cheer always prevalent at the big hostlry, no matter 
what the weather or other contigencies. 
The younger element at the Oceanside will be glad 
te know that Kenneth Seggerman is coming to Magnolia 
in a day or so for a stay at the Oceanside. 
F. M. Gould of New York, a friend of the Lancasters 
of Worcester, season guests at the Oceanside, has been 
spending a week at the hotel.

Mr. and Mrs. Robert Graves, who are among the 
most charming people at the Oceanside this summer re- 
turned from Bar Harbor whence they had gone last week 
in their palatial yacht “Emiline,” Jast Friday, just as they 
planned, but not by water. The weather would not per- 
mit of returning that way, so they motored back, with 
their friends whom they had been with at Bar Harbor, 
Mr. and Mrs. John Aspegren of New York. They were 
here in time for the dinner-dance at the Grill that night. 
Mr. and Mrs. Aspegren remained at the Oceanside over 
the week-end, returning to Bar Harbor by motor, Mon- 
day. Mr. and Mrs. Graves left Magnolia Wednesday 
for a week at Saratoga Springs and Lenox. 
Dancing has not lost any of its popularity as far as 
Oceanside guests are concerned. With Albert Latscha, 
the popular dancing teacher back’ to Magnolia for an- 
other season, even the most sedate ones are taking up 
the new steps and seem eager to join the merry throng 
of hotel guests and cottagers that get so much pleasure 
out of the dances at the Oceanside Tuesday, Thursday 
and Saturday nights. Lady Speyer, we note, is among the 
charming ladies taking up dancing. Mr. and Mrs. R. E. 
Paine are also of the older ones taking up dancing this 
summer. 
Plans are being formulated for the annual Ocean- 
side Tennis Tournament, to be started probably week 
after next. The weather has been much against tennis, 
Lut the scores of enthusiasts at the hotel are ready for the 
sport when the opportunity to play is offered. 
Of the Magnolia cottagers and hotel guests that get 
much enjoyment out of their riding this summer, no-ote 
enjoys the diversion more than A. F. McArthur, who 
comes on from New York every week-end to be with his 
family at the Ayres cottage, Lexington ave. Mr. Me- 
Arthur prefers this to motoring, yachting, golf or any of 
the various diversions offered the week-ender on the 
North Shore.
