NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Vol. X. 
SOCIETY NOTES 
The presence of the Duke and 
Dutchess of Connaught and their 
daughter, the Princess Patricia, in 
New York and Washington this 
week, was of much international 
and social significance. Ambassa- 
dor and Mrs. Whitelaw Reid were 
their New York host and _hostess. 
Monday night there was an in- 
formal dinner at the Reid residence, 
plates being laid for 50. guests. 
Following the dinner there was a 
musicale, Mme. Alma Glueck and 
other artists singing. A big dinner 
dance for the duke and party was 
given Tuesday night by the Reids, 
300 of New York’s exclusive so- 
ciety members being invited to at- 
tend. On Wednesday night the 
duke and entourage were guests at 
a dinner dance given by the Ogden 
Mills. This is the first visit to the 
United States of Princess ‘‘Pat,’’ 
favorite grand-daughter of Queen 
Victoria, and she was highly de- 
lighted with the prospect when she 
disembarked from the private car 
Monday. The duke, however, has 
visited New York before, having 
come as Prince Arthur, in 1868. He 
was only 18 at the time, and was 
engaged in making his first tour of 
the world, which formerly was such 
an event in the life of. the royal 
princes. The Duke of Connaught, 
who is the Governor General of 
Canada, planned to go to Washing- 
ton last night to meet President 
Taft. The Duke desires to discuss 
the advisability of King George and 
Queen Mary of England including 
this country in their itinerary if 
they visit America in 1913.

Mrs. Burke-Roche of New York 
and Newport, who spent a season 
on the North Shore at the Burnham 
farm, Essex, is giving a series of 
Sunday luncheons at her New York 
residence. Attending them are per- 
sons prominent in the theatrical, 
musical and artistic world. In fact, 
Mrs. Burke-Roche’s ‘‘Sunday after- 
noons’’ come nearer being salons of 
the stamp made famous by hostesses 
more than a decade ago than any 
attempted in recent times. Last 
Sunday Mme. Simone was among 
Mrs. Burke-Roche’s guests.

of interest to discuss about the 
Stotesbury-Cromwell wedding, the 
superb gifts, the wonderful trous- 
seau of 140 gowns and the costly 
array of jewels as gifts. Mr. and
