SOCIETY NOTES 
Mrs. Robert D. Evans of Boston 
and Burgess Point, Beverly, has 
- given much ev idence of public spirit 
in her recent gift of $500,000 to the 
trustees of the Boston Museum -of 
Fine Arts for an addition to the 
new building on Huntington ave- 
nue, and it was an impressive scene 
when she turned the first shovelful 
of earth on the site of the new 
structure. It was probably the 
first time that a woman has ever 
performed this ceremony in Boston. 
Gardiner M. Lane, president of the 
trustees, who escorted Mrs. Evans 
to the site, was probably ‘not ~un- 
mindful of the dignity of the cir- 
eumstance and. the honor which it 
eonferred upon him. Mr, Lane re- 
ceived the shovel from Mrs. Evans 
and performed a like service, which 
was repeated by each of the ‘trus: 
tees present. The new building will 
be a large structure and will ‘be 
used as a_ picture gallery. . It is 
erected as a memorial to her late 
husband. 
One of the most notable weddings 
of the New York winter, for which
