At the little Episcopal church, Masco- 
nomo street, Manchester, Wednesday 
afternoon at 4.45 Frazier Curtis, third 
son of Mrs. Greeley S. Curtis of Bos- 
ton, and Miss Gladys Raper of Battle, 
Sussex, Eng., were married. Rev. 
Reuben Kidner of Trinity Church, Bos- 
ton, was the officiating clergyman, as- 
sisted by Rev. George F. Weld of Hing- 
ham, a cousin of the groom. ~ The 
wedding was a quiet and somewhat in- 
formal affair, the wedding guests being 
confined to the family connections and a 
few close friends. Most of the guests 
arrived from Boston in a special coach 
attached to the Fisherman, at 4.30, and 
were taken to the church in drays and 
automobiles. The bride’s only attend- 
ant was het sister, Miss Millicent Raper 
of Sussex. She was given in marriage 
by her brother, Robert Raper. Her 
parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Augus- 
tus Raper, did not come over for the 
wedding. James Curtis was _ his 
brother’s best man. Following the cere- 
mony at the church, a wedding reception 
was held at “‘ Sharksmouth,’’ the sum- 
mer home of the Curtises at Manchester

Though it has seemed a long time in 
coming, the hotel season of 1909 is 
surely at hand. Both at Manchester and 
Magnolia there is every indication of it. 
At Magnolia particularly things are 
nearly as lively as in mid-season when 
the full-swing of summer trade is on. 
Here it is but the 18th of June and the 
Oceanside has been open a week—10 to 
15 days earlier than usual. And with 
business booming as it is, seers of the 
hotel trade say there was never anything 
like it before and that this summer will 
be the greatest yet in the North Shore’s 
social history. 
At the Oceanside 50 guests who have 
engaged suites for the season are already 
on the register. [The many attractions 
which have made that hotel so popular 
in past seasons have already been started. 
Crescent Beach opened yesterday and 
the band concert which marked the 
opening of the bathing season, drew 
many spectators to the sands as well as 
bathers. Band concerts will be held at 
the beach about three days a week in fair 
weather during the summer. 
Season guests who arrived at the 
Oceanside during the week were: Mrs. 
Avery Plummer, Mrs. Chester Guild, 
Boston; Mrs. J. S. Coates and Miss 
Helen Coates, Mrs. Alfred Tucker and 
Miss H. W. Catherwood of Philadel- 
phia; Archer Gibson, David W. Jones 
and Mrs. S. H. Jones of New York 
City. 
Many of the tenants in the Oceanside 
cottages have also begun season at the 
sea-shore. On Wednesday, FE. Por- 
tela, Minister to Argentina, and his 
family entered the Centre Cottage.
