Mrs. George von L. Meyer gave a 
delightful children’s party recently at her 
Hamilton home. A new departure was 
made in the diess of the butlers in that 
they wore the white duck pants repre- 
sentative of the navv, instead of evening 
dress. After the dinner the young peo- 
ple were invited overto ‘‘Bud’’ Apple- 
ton’s fora dance. 
The usual large number of cottagers 
went over to the Essex County club 
Wednesday afternoon for the band con- 
cert. Among those who entertained 
small parties at luncheon were Mrs. J. 
Warren Merrill, Mrs. James Means and 
Mrs. Prescott Bigelow. > 
Mr. and Mrs. Walter Gibson came 
on from New York last week to spend 
August with Mrs. Gibson’s sister, Mrs. 
Eugene Gray Foster and Mr. Foster at 
Coolidge’s Point. 
Miss Amy Grant of New York, who 
so successfully presented the opera Sa- 
lome, in recital form, at the North Shore 
Grill club last week, will present a simi- 
lar recital from the opera Pelleas and 
Melisande at the Grill this afternoon. 
The large attendance present at last 
week’s recital will assure an equally large 
patronage this afternoon as Miss Grant 
was repeatedly complimented on _ the 
excellency of her presentation of Salome. 
One of the largest parties of the last 
week was that given by Mrs. Oliver 
Ames last Friday night at Pride’s Cross- 
ing in honor of her daughter, Miss Elise 
Ames.

In order to accommodate the mid- 
summer overflow of guests, the Ocean- 
side last week leased another cottage— 
the Shore View, owned by F. K. M. 
Rhen of New York City. ‘This makes 
the 18th cottage which the hotel has 
under lease. The transaction is an in- 
dication of the Oceanside’s prosperity. 
The house is full and, in all the history 
of the place, so large a patronage so early 
in August was never known before.

MAGNOLIA, = = 
Noises which Are Nuisances. 
Editor North Shore Breeze: 
Dear Sir:—City folks—tired of con- 
tinuous noises, car gongs, street cries, 
wagon wheels, and Bedlam in general— 
come to the longed-for quiet of the North 
Shore to secure relief for tired nerves. 
Sitting on my “‘porch’’ at Magnolia 
last evening | wondered whether nerves 
were really much relieved by coming to 
this most delightful, but now unfortunate- 
ly most noisy ‘“summer home.’’ And 
the trouble is this: A few—thank Good- 
ness but a few—of the automobile own- 
ers have equipped their machines with 
horns emitting the most hideous sounds 
conceivable. One or two give forth 
hoarse cries or screams startlingly like a 
child in agony; others the nerve-racking 
shriek of the steam calliope. Can their 
owners enjoy such discord, jarring abom- 
inably upon the calm quiet of a summer 
night, and if they do enjoy it, should they 
be permitted to mar the happiness of 
others through the entire summer? ‘This 
is not an individual opinion but is shared 
by many who for one reason or another 
do not care to appear in print. May 
our supplication be heard! 
“* MAGNOLIA.”’
