SOCIETY NOTES 
The Improvement society of the 
little village of Wenham has cer- 
tainly a very unique tea house this 
season, as the interior decorations 
are charming and worth going far 
to see. The hospitality is of the 
best, for delicious tea, and scones 
that melt away before one has half 
finished enjoying the lovely panels 
‘on the walls, tell their own little 
story of the excellent management. 
The great elms in front of the piazza 
offer their delightful shade and 
make one long to be a constant vis- 
itor to this peaceful little village of 
Essex County, with its charming tea 
room, women’s exchange, its dainty 
colonial dames and its hospitable 
elms. This tea room is under the 
management of the Village Im- 
provement society of whom Miss 
Helen C. Burnham is the president. 
It is hoped to make this a paying 
business. The proceeds are to be 
used in the work of the society.
