WITH SOME OF OUR NORTH 
SHORE VISITORS IN 
; PASADENA 
The editor is in receipt of a very 
interesting letter the last week from 
George P. Bell, the popular head 
front clerk at The Oceanside in 
Magnolia, who is spending the win- 
ter as usual at The Raymond, one of 
the largest and most fashionable 
hotels in California,—a center for 
Easterners. 
Mr. Bell writes that the hotel, 
which is at Pasadena, opened the 
week before Christmas with a big 
dinner. John Shepard of Boston, 
who summers at Swampscott, was 
one of the many easterners to regis- 
ter on the opening day. Mr. Shep- 
ard had not been to Pasadena for 
twenty years. ‘‘He is a star,’’ says 
our correspondent, ‘‘and is like a 
young boy. You never would be- 
lieve he was 77. He was one of the 
judges of horses at the recent Tour- 
nament of Roses, which was the big 
day of the season in Pasadena. The 
floral parade was five miles long.’’ 
BK, J. Mitton of the firm of Jordan 
Marsh & Co., and Mrs. Mitton, are 
at the Raymond for the season. 
Jacob P. Bates of the firm of 
Cobb, Bates & Yerxa, also of the 
Governor’s council, is another Bos- 
tonian at The Raymond for the sea- 
son. Mr. Bates is an enthusiast on 
golf and can be seen on The Ray- 
mond links every morning. 
Hiigh MeGowan of Indianapolis, 
who had a cottage at Magnolia last 
season was booked to spend the sea- 
son at The Raymond as usual, with 
his interesting family, but he passed 
away suddenly the middle of Decem- 
ber and the family is not in Cali- 
fornia this season. 
E. L. Watson and wife of Worces- 
ter, other North Shore visitors, are 
at The Raymond for their tenth sea- 
son. — ;

Bramwell of Boston, Mr. and Mrs. 
C. I. Travelle of Newton, are also 
there for the season. 
Mrs. Mark Wendell and her two 
daughters and her son and wife will 
visit California this winter. The 
Wendells have spent their summers 
at The Oceanside, Magnolia, for a 
great many vears. 
The physiologists tell us that we 
have five senses, and yet some folks 
act as if they had none. 
February, it is true, is a little 
short, but it is likely to pull 
thro’ without bankrupting March. 
Marriage vows are too often fol- 
lowed by marriage rows.
