NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Vol. X. 
SOCIETY NOTES 
Not so very many years ago a 
group of young women, art students 
from Philadelphia and Tennessee, 
found their way to East Gloucester 
for the summer to draw inspiration 
from its notable artistic haunts. 
The writer made one of the group, 
who enjoyed the studio teas and 
frolies, the tramps about the seaport 
and her environs and helped make 
their stay in the old town enjoyable. 
The young women were the Misses 
EK. Sophonisba Hergesheimer, Lotta 
Picard, Martha Walter of Philadel- 
_phia and the Misses Raines of Chat- 
tanooga, Tennessee. This month’s 
(January) Harper’s bazaar devotes 
a page to Miss Hergesheimer’s won- 
derful success as a portrait painter. 
The article is illustrated by five 
cuts of her famous canvases also a 
picture of the young artist herself, 
who captured every prize at the 
Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts 
including the European scholarship 
of $1000. Every canvas she submit- 
ted to the Paris’ salon was accepted. 
Since returning to the United States 
she has painted many of the most 
beautiful women of the South. Her 
recent public commission is a por- 
trait of former Governor Malcolm 
R. Patterson of Tennessee for the 
capitol building. He has ordered a 
duplicate for his home. The article 
is most interesting and her artistic 
and other friends of the Gloucester 
colony rejoice in her great success.

The very sudden death of Rear 
Admiray Robley D. Evans at the 
capital was learned with sincere re- 
gret on the North Shore, where he 
spent several summers at Rockport 
making naval history for this sec- 
tion of Massachusetts, when in 
charge of the U. 8. squadron. The 
admiral was always enthusiastic 
over Rockport harbor’s facilities as 
a naval rendezvous and the North 
Shore owed much to him in making 
this section a center for visitations 
by the great warships of the coun- 
try, which continues each season.
