Word has come from India to 
relatives and friends of the Washing- 
ton B. Thomases, who are in India on 
‘their trip around the world, that Miss 
Margaret Thomas has the smallpox, 
but fortunately only a light attack. 
Whether this news has only been sent 
to quiet fears, those at home cannot 
yet tell, but it is most earnestly hoped 
the case is not at all a serious one. 
Mrs. Harry Pratt McKeay is giv- 
ing a dinner tonight at her Beacon 
street, Boston, home, at 8 _ o’clock, 
prior to the Hasty Pudding dinner- 
dance. Mrs. McKean‘s dinner is in 
compliment to Miss Hariot Post, 
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George E. 
Post, Jr., of New York, and to Miss 
Mary Pyne, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. 
Percy R. Pyne of New York. The 
young people came on from New 
York for this exclusive Harvard func- 
tion. Thursday afternoon of last week 
Mrs. McKean gave a very delightful 
tea for Miss Elizabeth F. Lee, whose 
engagement to Harry Pratt McKean, 
Jr., was recently announced. 
Mrs. Frank Northen has decided 
not to return to America for the mar- 
riage of her only sister, Miss Helen 
Fitch of Boston and Manchester, to 
Julian P. Fairchild of Brooklyn, which 
will be celebrated very quietly in mid- 
April. Instead the young people who 
are going abroad for an _ extended 
tour ,are to spend some time with Mr. 
and Mrs. Northen at their residence 
in North Hurley, Gloucestershire, 
England.

N. S. Simpkins, who has_ been 
spending most of the winter in the far 
South, returned to Washington in 
time to take in the inauguration fes- 
tivities with his brother, C. Ritchie 
Simpkins. He will come on to Bev- 
erly Farms in the near future. 
Family mourning for the late Mrs. 
Frederick R. Sears, a favorite aunt 
of the bride-elect, will shed a deep 
shadow over the wedding of Miss 
Julia Newbold, a daughetr of Mr. and 
Mrs. Thomas Newbold of New York, 
to Redmond Cross, which is listed for 
the Easter season, and the affair will 
consequently be small and quiet in the 
extreme. The engagement was an- 
nounced in the early winter. Miss 
Newbold is well known on the North 
Shore, where she has been a frequent 
visitor at the home of her grandfa- 
ther, Hon. T. Jefferson Coolidge, at 
Manchester, and of her aunt, Mrs. 
Lucius Manlius Sargent, at Pride’s 
Crossing. 
Mr. and Mrs. John N. Willys and 
young daughter of the Pride’s Cross- 
ing colony,: who left the end of Jan- 
uary for an extended European trip, 
probably will not return in season to 
put in any time on the North Shore 
the coming summer. Mr. Willys has 
recently purchased the “Praying Pil- 
erim.” Rembrandt’s famous painting, 
which for many years hung in the pri- 
vate gallerv of Maurice Kaun, in 
Paris, and is said to be one of the 
choicest works of the great Dutch 
master.

“Barr Harbor,” at Beverly Farms, 
which Mr. and Mrs. Javes C. Barr ° 
have a lease. has been offered for rent 
the coming summer, as the Barrs are 
looking for a larger cottage on the 
North Shore, we understand.
