TOPSFIELD is noted for its beautiful hills, from which 
extended and diversified views in all directions can be 
had. ‘There is said to be nothing finer in the eastern part 
of the state. 
The home of Capt. and Mrs. Ernest Pentacost is one 
of the remarkably situated ones in Topsfield. It is a 
large brick house standing on one of the highest points in 
the place, and the surrounding country is viewed 15 a 
splendid panorama. From the terrace can be-seen m.. 1y 
of the summer homes. Among them is “Witch Hill,” she 
hore of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas W. Peirce, and which was 
formerly the early home of Mrs. Pentacost (Marion W. 
Peirce). Another home seen is where Mr. and Mrs. Fred- 
erick Ayer, Jr. (Hilda Rice), have made their home 
since they were married two years ago. It is known as 
“Bradstreet Farm,” and is a remodeled house on the 
Emerson Proctor place. From the Pentacost hill the 
white house of the Ayers surrounded by the red barns 
makes a pretty picture nestling among the trees and seem- 
ingly so far away. Other places seen belong to the 
Charles W. Taintors, the Arthur H. Wellmans, Mrs. 
James Morrill Marsh, the James: Smiths, and over Wen- 
ham way the house of the William Phillips stands out 
clearly. The white spire of the Wenham church can be 
seen, and up Hamilton way Squam river lies like a white 
thread in the greenery. Also the Ipswich light and a few 
others can be seen at night. At the Pentacost home is an 
interesting little family. The five-year-old Richard has 
a sister, Mary Josselyn, aged three years, and twin sisters 
eighteen months old. ‘The twin babies, Catharine and 
Cornelia, have never been seen by their father, who was 
called to England before they were born, to take his place 
in the British Royal Naval Reserve. He is now in com- 
mand of a coast patrol squadron “soméwhere” in the 
North Sea. Mrs. Pentacost is now making Topsfield her 
year-round home. 
“White Commons,” the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wil- 
lard Emery (Anna Lyman Paine) has an unusual garden, 
The entrance to the garden, through a thatched gateway 
like an English lytch gate, is very noticeable in Topsfield, 
at one side of the beautiful commons in the little town. 
The Emerys have spent the winters in Topsfield since 
the war in Europe, and Mr. Emery has designed the gar- 
den and planted it within the past two years. A “green 
garden” is the idea carried out. The bloom is to be only 
incidental to the place. A broad green runs from the 
two terraces at one side of the House, and on either side 
of this are the “pockets” of flowers. These are surround- 
ed by green hedges, quite tall now, and which are to grow 
about five feet high and completely shut in the flowers 
from view. Intersecting these “pockets” are many grass 
walks to carry out the idea of greenness. A rose garden 
has been made and a planted wall is being made between 
the garden and a lower lawn. All of the architectural 
ornaments in the garden have been brought. from Italy,
