Tuly 7, 1916. 
HAMILTON is still filled with memories of the Italian 
_ ~~” Festa of last week. A walk past “Rock Maple Farm,” 
__ the home of Hon. and Mrs. George von L. Meyer, and 1 
_ glance within the beautiful gardens and courts, recalls the 
day when they were so gay with the Stars and Stripes and 
Memory also recalls the efforts of the 
Miss Meyer’s enthusiasm permeated al! 
of the young people and made the affair one great success 
for the North Shore. ‘The winning suggestions of Mrs. 
Bayard Warren, Miss Elise Ames, Mrs. Reynolds Hitt, 
Mrs. Preston Gibson and Mrs. Vittorio Orlandini, whose 
booths catered especially to the little folk, are also among 
the happy recollections of the day. The bevy of pretty 
waitresses and venders in their Italian colors seemed a 
part of the color scheme and linger in the picture of the 
Festa—Hamilton’s great day. 
“Sagamore Farm,” the Hamilton home of the Hoa. 
and Mrs. Augustus P. Gardner, will not be opened this 
summer. Mrs. Gardner is planning to spend most of the 
* summer in Berlin with her daughter, Mrs. Grafton Win- 
throp Minot (Constance Gardner), where Mr. Minot is 
an attaché of the U. S$. embassy. The Minots were mar- 
ried last July. Mr. Gardner will spend the greater pari 
of the summer in Washington with occasional] trips. 
Rodolphe L. Agassiz and his daughters, the Misses 
Marie and Anna Agassiz left last week for the west where 
Mr. Agassiz is attending a meeting connected with the 
Calumet and Hecla Mining Co. of which he is vice-presi- 
dent. Mrs. Agassiz will join them next week. Miss 
Martha McNaughton, daughter of the superintendent of 
the.mines, has been a recent guest at the Agassiz home in 
“Homewood,” Hamilton. Mr. Agassiz will address the 
5000 employes of the company and present Shaw and 
Agassiz medals to over 1000 men who have been with the 
company 20 or more years. A large party also accom- 
panied the Agassizs. 
At “The Hamlet,” the home of Mr. and Mrs. Albert 
R. Merrill of Hamilton, their daughter, Miss Alberta Mer- 
rill, has returned from Smith College with a house-party 
of school friends. They are Miss Eleanor Wild of Brook- 
lyn, N. Y.; Miss Gwendolin Davidson of Chicago; Miss 
Ruth Crosby of St. Paul, and Miss Elizabeth Fellows of 
Manchester, N. H. Mrs. Allan W. Holmes (Clara Mer- 
rill) of Danville, N. Y., whose marriage occurred in the 
winter time, is home on a short visit. ‘‘The Hamlet”’ is 
an interesting old-time house and was formerly the par- 
sonage where Manasseh Cutler lived when he was pastor 
of the village church. Gen. Lafayette stayed over night 
in it on his way to Portsmouth. It dates back to about 
1714 and was the home of two of the early pastors who 
each spent 50 years in the Hamilton church. 
Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Whitman of Hamilton are spend- 
ing the week in New Hampshire. 
Mrs. George E. Niles of Boston is spending the sum- 
mer with her daughter, Mrs. John B. Moulton in Ham- 
_ilton. 
At the Jonathan Brown, Jrs., of “Red Top Farm,” 
Hamilton, Mr. and Mrs. F. G. Hale of Boston have been 
guests. ‘They will be of the many people going to Mag- 
nolia next week.

RS. Caries T. Parker of Wenham opened her fine 
estate last Sunday for 180 girls from Boston stores 
who were on their annual outing under the auspices of 
the Vacation Stamp Savings committee of the National 
Civics Federation. Mrs. Parker is chairman of the Com- 
mittee. Mrs. Homer B. Richardson of Nahant, vice-chair- 
man of the Civics Federation, and Miss Elizabeth Porter 
of Boston, a member of the vacation committee, were also 
present. | 
The girls left Boston by special cars and upon ar- 
riving in Wenham were taken by auto to ‘‘Cotshabbie.” 
Lunch boxes were then enjoyed out in the orchard where 
Mrs. Parker sold cool drinks and ice-cream at a nominal 
price. The Witch City orchestra with Wm. Gwinn, di- 
rector, played delightfully the whole afternoon.  Old- 
fashioned games and dances were then the program on 
the fine lawn. Miss Porter led the dancing with as muca 
vim as she has put into so many of the Vincent club ai- 
fairs in Boston. At three o’clock came the treat of the 
day when Mr. and Mrs. George S. Mandell of Hamilton 
came with eleven of their best jumpers. Out in the field 
where a hillside made a natural amphitheater for the in- 
terested audience, the horses performed with Mr. Mandell 
and Alvin F. Sortwell of Hamilton as riders. The horses 
ca're in for much admiration and were fondled and 
petted by the girls, many having their pictures taken with 
arms around one of the noted jumpers. 
The pretty white house of Mrs. Monroe Douglas 
Robinson (Miss Dorothy Jordan) seen from the Parker 
place, came in for much admiration. Many of the girls 
were eager to know where it was. Evidently these were 
from the Jordan Marsh Co. 
The girls had never held their picnic in this locality 
before and were very enthusiastic over the beauties of the 
country and the hospitality of Mrs. Parker and every- 
thing on her place, her two fine Irish terriers coming in 
for much attention. The picnic was really in two install- 
ments this year, the Sunday before go girls had come in 
a drenching rain and enjoyed sports in the big barn, and 
also saw Mr. Mandell-and his daughter, Miss Emma, and 
son, Samuel, jump their horses. 
The girls are much interested in the work of the 
Stamp Savings committee and never miss the nickles and 
dimes they exchange for stamps. When summer comes 
they have a neat little sum saved up for vacation days. 
In the Jordan Marsh store several thousand dollars are 
saved annually by the girls. The same work is carried on 
in New York with Miss Anne Morgan in charge. The 
work is branching out from the stores and taking in gir's 
in factories in the endeavor to encourage thrift. 
Mrs. Parker is the founder of the Thorndike club in 
Beverly, and 25 of its members were also present last 
Sunday. 
The girls from Miss Helen Frick’s Vacation House 
at Wenham Neck were invited to the picnic at Mrs. 
Parker’s and several of them came late in the afternoon 
for the special events.
