' Last Friday evening in the Re 
~ Room at the White House Miss Mabel 
T. Boardman, on behalf of the women 
of Washington, presented President 
Taft with a rare pearl scarf pin, and 
“Mrs. Taft with a diamond necklace of 
' pure white stones. The gifts which 
"were in the nature of farewell re- 
_ membrances to the Tafts, were from 
'a circle of close friends they have 
_ made during their long residence in 
Washington. ‘The presentation was 
an informal affair.

No date has yet been set for the 
marriage of Miss Elizabeth P. Lee of 
Brookline and Beverly Farms, and 
Harry Pratt McKean, Jr., of Pride’s. 
but in all probability it will be in the 
early summer on the North Shore. 
Miss Lee is to serve as bridesmaid at 
the wedding of Miss Read and Dr. 
Burnett at Manchester next month, 
and also at the marriage of Miss 
Josephine Dorr to William E. Russell, 
in Cambridge, in early April. 
re CARI 
tract many people to the North Shore 
towns next Monday. The summer 
cottagers are taking a more active in- 
terest in town affairs as the years go 
by, largely from the fact that they are 
becoming permanent residents in in- 
creasing numbers. Herbert Warren 
Mason is running for selectman of 
the town of Ipswich this year. At 
Manchester Gordon Abbott is candi- 
date for the board of trustees of the 
Memorial Library Bldg. Fund. There 
are now some 32 members of the 
Manchester summer colony that vote 
here and a large number of these will 
be down next Monday to vote—for 
one reason to show their disapproval 
of the actions of the present board of 
selectmen which resulted in a rigid 
enforcement of the liquor law at the 
Essex County club the last summer. 
Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Abbott, who 
have been in the South, are expected 
home today. 
Boston OprerA House 
The Boston Opera Company dur- 
ing the coming week will add to its 
French repertory another opera which 
has not been sung in America hither- 
to,—“‘La Foret Bleue” (The Blue 
Forest) by Louis Aubert, one of the 
foremost among the younger genera- 
tion of Parisian composers. M. Au- 
bert is known chiefly as a composer 
of songs and orchestral pieces and 
“La Foret Bleue” is the first of his 
operas to see the footlights. 
“La Foret Bleue” is an ingeniously 
contrived combination of the three 
fairy stories known to every child, 
“Tittle Red Riding Hood,” “Hop o’ 
My Thumb” and “The Sleeping 
Princess” and in it Director Russell 
thinks that he has discovered an opera 
which will enjoy popularity as pro- 
nounced and as enduring as that of 
“Haensel und Gretel.” 
The repertoire for next week: Mon- 
“The Girl of the Golden 
day eve., 
West ;” Wed. eve., “La Boheme;” 
Thursday eve., “L’Arlesienne:” Fri- 
day eve., “The Jewels of the Madon- 
na;” Saturday, “Lucia di Lanmer- 
moor.” 
“Ledge Lawn,” the Randolph Cool- 
idge cottage, so-called, at Man- 
chester, last season, has just leased the 
same property through the Boardman 
agency, for the coming season. Mrs. 
Cabot’s winter home is on Heath 
street, Brookline.

The marriage of Hee daughter of 
Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Read, and 
Dr. Francis Lowell Burnett of Beacon 
street, Boston, will take place a week 
from next Wednesday, March 12, at 
the little summer Episcopat church, 
Manchester-by-the-Sea, which will be 
opened for the occasion. Directly 
following the wedding there will be a 
breakfast at the Read home, Read’s 
Island. Both the wedding and the 
breakfast will be small affairs, includ- 
ing only the families and intimates. 
This will be the first of half a dozen 
or more weddings to take place on the 
North Shore the coming spring and 
early summer.
