SOCIETY NOTES 
‘The Lindens,’’ the old mansion 
in Danvers which Gen. Gage occu- 
pied while his British troops were 
holding Boston, is to pass from the 
Peabody family. Since the death of 
Francis Peabody his widow has 
been making plans towards that 
end. Of the large number of ser- 
vants who worked in the house and 
on the spacious grounds, only a few 
caretakers remain. Some talk is 
heard of the Danvers Historical so- 
ciety acquiring the property, and 
‘there are other reports that it is on 
the market. On a window in the 
house are names which two British 
soldiers scratched. The front door 
has marks of shots fired by patri- 
ots’ cannon from a hill two miles 
from the house. J. Pierpont Mor- 
gan has visited the house several 
times, the Peabody family being 
relatives of his. His private car 
used to be sent down on the New- 
buryport branch of the Boston & 
Maine to the Collins street station 
in Danvers. There telegraph wires 
were tapned and an operator in his 
ear received and dispatched mes- 
sages.

evenings at. 7.45 and matinees at

The role of: Pelleas has been en- 
trusted to Jean Riddez, a baritone, a 
proceeding unusual.in America, but 
said to enhance greatly the peculiar 
charm of the music which Debussy 
wrote for ‘that part. Vanni Mar-

ope’s greatest singing actors and as
