hased the sonder boat Ellen of C. P. 
Curtis. This transaction would signi- 
fy that Mr. Sears will use the Ellen

not place an order for a new boat.

designs of W. Starling Burgess.

The Boson Herald printed the fol- 
lowing item Monday afternoon, which 
is substantially true: “Miss Clarina 
Hanks, Misses Anna Hamlin and 
Miss Leslie Richardson, Hub society 
girls, figured in a life-saving at Man- 
chester Sunday. While bob-sleighing 
through the woods between Manches- 
ter and Hamilton, accompanied by 
Richard Burnester and Terence John- 
ston, Harvard students, they came up- 
en a man who had fallen in the snow 
and was nearly dead from exposure. 
After trying in vain to revive the man, 
the girls and boys lifted him into the 
sleigh and galloped their horse all the 
way to the village. In lieu of a bet- 
ter place, they took the man to police 
station. All the police officers were 
out, so the man was left, still uncon- 
scious, on the floor of the police sta- 
tion house. When Chief of Police 
Converse came in from a drive, sev- 
eral hours later, the man was pretty 
well thawed out and showed signs of 
life. When the man was unable to 
tell how he got into the station hou¢e 
the chief put him out into the street. 
When last seen he was leaving the vil- 
lage in the direction of Beverly. 
Later the girls returned to see how 
their patient was doing. When they 
learned the chief had put him out, 
they were very indignant.”

Mrs. George von L. Meyer will be 
greatly missed as a hostess in Wash- 
ington after the change in administra- 
tions has taken place in March. It is 
understood that the Meyers will return 
to Boston, where they will probably 
occupy their house on Beacon street, 
now rented to Hon. Robert Bacon, 
next winter. They will also spend 
much of the time at their estate in 
Hamilton. Mr. Meyer and his son, 
George von L. Meyer, Jr., spent 
Christmas in North Carolina, where 
they went on their annual shooting 
trip. Mrs. Meyer has been one of the 
most charming hostesses Washington 
has ever known and it is generally be- 
lieved that she has entertained more 
distinguished foreigners at her home 
than any other Washington hostess. 
The Meyers have a large acquaintance 
abroad, as Mr. Meyer has served as 
ambassador to Rome and St. Peters- 
burg. The two daughters are among 
the most charming of the group of 
North Shore girls who winter in 
Washington.

Prof. and Mrs. Barrett Wendell 
have decided that the wedding of their 
daughter, Miss Edith Wendell, and 
Charles Osborne at Trinity Church, 
Boston, on Jan. 18, and the breakfast 
to follow at the home of Mr. and Mrs. 
Barrett Wendell, Jr., (Barbara Hig- 
ginson) which was arranged on a scale 
so small that they were reluctantly 
compelled to omit from the list of in- 
vitations many friends whom they 
wished to ask, is to go on as if the 
sadness following Mme. Wendell’s 
death in New York had not clouded it.
