The first of the two dinner-dances at 
the Essex County club this summer, held 
on Wednesday, proved the most brilliant 
function of the season. In every way 
the affair was a success. It was well at- 
tended, the dinner was splendid, the 
dancing went off well, the music was 
fine and everything was most conducive 
of agoodtime. Plates were set for 174 
persons, and this number was increased 
after dinner when a number of others 
The interest 
shown reminded one of the old-time en- 
when these dinner-dances 
were big social events in the life of the 
club. Already the next dinner-dance, 
Jess than a month away, is being looked 
forward to with a great deal of interest. 
Wednesday evening, Aug. 25, is the 
date of the next party. 
The tables were beautifully, though 
not over-elaborately decorated with flow- 
ers cut from gardens along the shore. 
Sweet peas, roses and dahlias formed the 
principal part of the table decoration. 
The colored incandecents hung among 
thetrees and about the piazza gave a 
pleasing touch to the decorative effect. 
To say who was not there of the 
North Shore colony would be a much 
easier task than enumerating those who 
were there. The whole North Shore 
was represented and many had guests 
from out-of-town for the occasion. 
There was nearly a score of jolly parties 
entertained at the various tables. Mrs. 
Eben D. Jordan had a dozen or more 
at hertable, mostly young people; Mrs. 
Lester Leland had a party of twenty-tw® 
at her table, young men and women, th? 
buds of the season; Mrs. Washington 
B. Thomas had another party of young 
people; Mrs. Boylston Beal had ten or 
a dozen at her table; Mrs. Walter Den- 
egre was another hostess; Mr. and Mrs. 
Amory Eliot had a table; Mr. and Mrs. 
S. Parker Bremer, Mr. and Mrs. Wil- 
Jiam A. Tucker, Mrs. Bryce J. Allan, 
Mrs. William H. Moore, Lewis Han- 
cock and Sig. Cora were among others 
who were hosts and hostesses. All in 
all it was the most jolly crowd that has 
been at the club in years. Miss Helen 
Taft and her brother, Robert, did not 
attend the dinner, but they came over 
from Beverly for the dance.

Magnolia’s summer season is at its 
height. Not a cottage is empty, the ho- 
tels are crowded, everybody is alive for 
fun and recreation—swimming on the 
beach, fishing on the rocks, sailing out 
to sea, or motoring across country—and 
with the band concerts in the afternoon 
and the lively dances at night, nota touch

is needed to keep the visitor in a con- 
tinued state of gayety. 
The month near at hand will bring 
still other recreations—two big ones 
looked forward to. First comes the an- 
nual tennis tournaments on the Oceanside 
courts, beginning Aug. 10,then later in the 
month, on Saturday the 28th, comes the an- 
nual horse show and races on Crescent 
Beach. Both events promise to be every 
bit as popular asin years gone by and 
will undoubtedly draw the fashion from 
all along the shore. 
Great interest is at present manifested 
in the tennis tournaments. The entry 
blanks are being sent out today and must 
be returned by August 7. On that day 
the players will be matched and it is ab- 
solutely necessary that all who intend 
playing signify their intention by that 
time. It is estimated that 75 players 
will compete this year. 
The events will be men’s singles and 
doubles, women’s singles and doubles and 
mixed doubles. The judges were an- 
nounced this morning as Samuel S. Stev- 
ens, Reginald Kennard and Caldwell 
Walker. The prize for the tournament 
will be the Oceanside Tennis Cup, won 
last year by Edward Dana. The order
