NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
17 
Of the many social functions of the 
week along the North Shore the one 
standing out pre-eminently as the most 
brilliant of them all was the dinner dance 
at the Essex County club, Wednesday 
night. Seldom has such a gathering of 
people, prominent socially, and represent- 
ing all sections of the country, assembled ~ 
on an occasion of this kind on the North 
Shore as that at the club on Wednesday 
night. It was the most exclusive social 
event of the summer. One _ hundred 
and ninety-six persons were seated at the © 
dozen or more tables. For weeks every 
seat had been engaged and the large din- 
ing room of the club, with the lounging 
room added on was completely filled. 
Among those who had tables were 
Amory Eliot, Boylston Beal, 10; Judge 
Moore, 10; J. C. Kerr, 6; Samuel 
Carr, 10; J. Warren Merrill, 8; James 
Means, 8; Mon. Pontales, 4; Mrs. 
Wm. Bagnell, 7; Mrs. E. C. Fitch, 
12; Prescott Bigelow, 8; S. Parker 
Bremer, 10; J. A. Culbertson, 12; W. 
J. Boardman, 16; W. A. Tucker, 8; 
F. 1. Amory, 22; E. D. Richards, 10; 
H. K. Caner, 10. The tables were all 
beautifully decorated with flowers, each 
of the ladies having tables furnishing her 
own decorations. 
One of the jolliest parties was that at 
Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Culbertson’s table. 
The decorations were pink and yellow, — 
snapdragons being the flower used. At the 
table, besides Mr. and Mrs. Culbertson 
and their two sons, Craig and William, 
were Mr. and Mrs. Walter Denegre, 
Miss Margaret Thomas, Miss Helen 
Taft, Miss Dorothy Hancock, Miss Lip- 
pincott, Robert Taft and Carlos Green- 
ley. 
Another jolly party was that given by 
Mrs. Ezra C. Fitch in honor of Miss 
Gladys Bogert of Flushing, L. I., who 
is to be married next month to Conover 
Fitch. Besides Mr. and Mrs. Fitch, 
Conover Fitch and Miss Bogert, there 
were at the table, Miss Helen Fitch, 
Miss MacCook, Miss Kampmann, 
Childs Frick, Dudley Rogers, Joseph 
Seabury, Harry Hull and Mr. Bramhall. 
Killarney roses and maiden hair fern 
were used as table decorations, a large 
vase occupying the center, and four 
smaller vases setting off each corner. 
Bouquets were at each ladies’s plate. 
Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Boardman had 
sixteen at their table.

pretty picture as the guests were all seat-

the entrance to the dining room was 
stationed the orchestra. On the paizza 
and on thelawn were groups of chairs 
and tables, and under the tent pitched in 
front of the house were other tables and 
chairs, where the dancers sat later in the 
evening between the dances. 
The outside of the club was trans- 
formed into a miniature fairyland, scores 
of small colored electric lights being 
strung among the branches of the trees 
and in the tent, and from the tent to the

Society from Nahant to Rockport is 
rejoicing in the near approach of sonder- 
class week at Marblehead, a week always 
alive with festivities. The races begin 
Monday and will probably last until Tues- 
day, Sept. 7th. During that time there 
will be an almost continuous program of 
social events in honor of the German 
yachtsmen who have come over to com- 
pete for the President Taft and Governor 
Draper cups. There will also be many - 
house parties and other entertaining 
among the cottagers. The presentation 
of the trophy by the President will be the 
biggest event of the week, aside from the 
deciding race, and many society functions 
will accompany it. 
One of the many beautiful sights along 
the North Shore just at this time is the 
Cedar Acres gladiolii farm at Wenham. 
‘The farm comprises 11 acres, all of 
which are now in bloom with scores of 
vari-colored gladiolii and make a splen- 
dour of color seldom seen, The farm 
is located on Cedar street, near Wen- 
ham Lake.
