August ber 1915. 
» ina but the surrounding cottages in the colony, and 
2 yall along the North Shore. Promptly at 8.30 o’clock, 
Wriilian K. Harcourt, the actor, of New York City, a 
gust of the Inn, announced the arrival of the Queen, and 
there was a hush and a wave of expectancy over the large 
andience. Miss Gladys B. Perry of Haverhill made a 
charming queen in her stately robe of rich red, trimmed 
with white and ermine. Miss Perry was chosen as qtieen 
for the festival by popular vote of the hotel guests, for 
seme weeks past. Michael Jacobs, of Washington, D. C, 
vn artist of prominence, who is now painting state depart: 
ment people at the Capital, was the King of the festival. 
Neune Jack Farnsworth, nephew of the late General 
Farnsworth of Albany, N. Y., was the Page. The throne 
was quite an elaborate affair, with its royal canopy, brtl- 
hantly lighted with many electric lights, the pillars of gilt 
adding a rich tone to the draperies and general setting. 
The grand march was a brilliant pageant, led by Miss 
Lillian Hendrick and Jack Ross of New York. ‘The 
casino was beautifully decorated with green bay and yel- 
lew golden glow, and the gorgeotts costumes of the danc- 
ers made a veritable kaleidoscon: of color. There were 
Japanese and Chinese maidens, Ro van senators, sailors, 
soldiers, Turkish ladies, Scotch daneers and a hundred or 
more other character costu es, grotesqtie, attractive and 
iniferesting. The prize: were awarded by ex-Governor 
John L. Dix of New York to the following: Most 
original costumes, Miss Arrinton Butt, of England, and 
her. partner, Edward Fennessy of Brookline. Handso n- 
est woman’s costu~e, Mrs. Cooper, wife of Captain 
Cooper of the U. S. S. Louisiana. Handsomest man’s 
sostume, Mr. Edwards of Kansas City. Most grotescue 
man’s costure, Mr. Papazain. Most grotesque woman's 
costume, Mrs. Louise Butler of New York. Best pel 
ccstume, Master Jack Farnsworth. In the decision of the 
handsomest woman’s costuve, it was difficult for the 
committee to report on the costuxes of Mrs. Cooper, who 
wore a handsme costure of a Chinese Mandarin’s 
daughter, and the exquisite Persian harem costume worn 
ly Miss Marjorie Dyrenford, of Chicago. Miss Dyren- 
ford has recently returned from abroad. The costume 
she wore, perfect in Persian harem representation 1r 
every detail, captured the prize twice in Rurope, once In 
Berlin and once in Paris, at carnivals held in these cittes. 
The costume was made especially for a grand opera 
singer and is very valuable. The judges at the “hal 
masque” were: Ex-Governor and Mrs. John L, Dix of 
New York, Captain Francis Gibson of New York, Mr. 
and Mrs, Bird Flash of Staten Island and Dr. an] 
Mrs. William Bryan, also of Staten Island, N. Y.. The 
cakewalk was a great feature. This was led by Scott 
(Connor and Barrett Ridgley, with twelve people follow- 
g: Miss Mabel Vickery of Baltimore and William Wal 
luck of Chicago, Miss Olive Hughes of New York an 
Mr. Notman of Brooklyn, Mrs. Hill of Washington ard 
Siephen Vickery of Baltimore, Mrs. Wayland of Sum: 
merville, S. C., and Dr. Locke of New York vity. Miss 
Arrinton Butt and Jack Ross danced the gavotte eftec- 
tively. There was general dancing during the evening. 
Much credit is due Mrs. Alice . fischer) Harcourt, tie 
actress, wife of W. K. Harcourt, the actor, of New Y rk 
City. Mrs. Harcourt was a leading spirit in tne arrangy- 
mients and the success of this carnival, and the voice of 
appreciation was expressed, while hands waved enthusi- 
astically for Mrs. Harcourt at one time during the pictur- 
esque bal masque.

Mrs. Clara L. Harrington of Boston, for her eight- 
teenth season, is at her studio building, located at the 
beginning of Eastern Point Road, near Rocky Neck ave- 
nue, East Gloucester. Mrs. Harrington is the pioneer in 
the gift shop world in this section of the North Shore 
Neatly twenty years ago she began purehasing several 
buildings along East Main street and converted them into 
a number of studios, which have been appreciated by 
artists, as studios are difficult to obtain. These buildings 
are all painted the conventional studio red. At the present 
time Mrs. Harrington’s own display rooms are the center 
of interest for summer people. Mrs. Harrington has for 
a great many years been interested in securing antiques 
In *her splendid exhibition now open to the public may be 
noted an extraordinary three chair settle of Chippendale, 
a very old Beau Brummel dresser, and arong many other 
things a fine card table of Chinese Chippendale. An old 
Georgian silver teapot and a Bristol tea set marked 1798 
and an old French empire gilt clock from New Orleans 
are of special interest. Aniong the handsome jewelry 
antiques are a Hungarian barette, a French pendant ot 
platinum and pink enamel, set with small pearls, emeralds 
sa amethysts, and a pair of old paste shoe buckles. The 
»xhibits of India, Chinese and Japanese embraideries are 
ica and very interesting.
