‘July 21, 1916. 
THE Tuurspay Eventnc Hop at the Oceanside hotel, 
~ Magnolia, was marked by a very large number of 
people dancing and a great many looking on. The gowns 
of the ladies were very elaborate and beautiful, and if 
the death knell for the bouffant skirt has sounded, not 
even an echo has reached Magnolia, for they grow more 
“hoopy” each day, and with the grace and beauty shown 
by this very modish style, which to many of us seems 
a bit old-fashioned, we can readily understand why our 
grandmothers wore the puffy jupons. 
Among the many pretty girls dancing was Miss Rosa- 
monde Wyman, who was lovely in a very soft pink 
chiffon taffeta, so girlish and sweet. 
Miss Ruth McLean was very attractive in a dainty 
dancing frock of Quaker gray, most bouffant and pretty. 
Miss McLean is a graceful dancer, and in the one-step 
which she danced with Winthrop Lockwood, they made 
quite the best looking couple on the floor. 
Vivacious Miss Ethel Morse wore a girlish party 
frock of white taffeta striped in the tones of the Ameri- 
can Beauty. 
Mrs. Harriet S. Cowles was very stunning in a lovely 
black net gown with iridescent bandings. 
A distinguished couple are Dr. and Mrs. W. G. Perry 
of Boston, who spend their summers at the Oceanside. 
They seem to enjoy “looking-on” at the hops, for they 
are always in attendance at the dances. ‘Thursday even- 
ing Mrs. Perry wore a very pretty gown of beautiful black 
silk and lace. 
Very notable among the dancers was Mrs. Leslie 
Wheeler of Evanston, Ill., elaborately gowned in a won- 
derful creation of green tulle and lace. 
Miss M. A. James of New York, a very sweet girl, 
wore a pretty dancing frock of pink chiffon, very, very 
bouffant. 
The two Misses Brainard were very attractive and 
lovely Thursday evening at the hop. Miss Adelaide wore 
an exquisite gown of royal blue taffeta, while Miss Frances 
was gowned in a pretty dancing frock of pink chiffon. = * 
Mrs. W. J. Chalmers of Chicago was very stunning 
in a rich gown of turquoise blue with crystal and silver 
touches. Mrs. Chalmers danced quite a bit during the 
~ evening with her son, Thomas S. Chalmers. 
Miss Hidden wore an exquisite gown of black crepe 
over an underdress of beautiful gold embroidery. 
Quite the most different gown of the evening was 
worn by Miss Flora Barton, a very stunning girl. A flesh 
colored silk with many layers of white tulle formed the 
skirt, and a bodice of soft pink panne velvet with deep 
back panel completed this lovely frock. 
Dainty Miss Evangeline Beane, the dancing teacher 
and social hostess, wore a lovely gown of black tulle 
with a single red rose nestling in the draping of the skirt. 
Mr. and Mrs. William Bettman were notable during 
the evening by their beautiful dancing. Mrs. Bettman’s 
gown was of black chiffon with jet bodice. 
Mrs. J. Arthur Hull wore a beautiful gown of day- 
break yellow with touches of lavender and lavender cor- 
sage. 
Miss Doris Bryan, who without doubt is quite the 
most popular girl at the hotel, with young and old alike, 
wore a dainty frock of taupe chiffon in endless layers, 
shading into the palest yellow. 
Mrs. W. F. McCombs of Washington is spending the 
summer in Beverly Farms with her parents, Col. and 
Mrs. John R. Williams of Washington, who are occupy- 
ing “The Meadows,” the attractive summer home on Hart 
street, formerly occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Gerard Bement.

LL, roads seemed to lead to the Village Church at Mag- 
nolia, Wednesday, where its annual flower bazaar 
was held. The day was ideal and the church and its 
spacious lawn were transformed by skillful and_ tasty 
hands into a veritable fairy-land. Never did the place 
look more beautiful or attractive, with its ten tables taste- 
fully decorated and covered with aprons, fancy articles, 
home-made candy, flowers, punch, ice cream and cake. 
All the booths gave evidence of originality and good 
taste, but five of them deserve special mention,—the candy 
table, in charge of Mary Boyd and Ruth Scott; ice cream, 
Mrs. Jonathan May, Mrs. William Wilkins, Abbie May, 
Beatrice Story, Helen Castle; apron, Mrs. Fred S. Lycett, 
Jennie Brown, Amy Lycett; fancy, Mrs. Ernest Howe, 
Mrs. Frank Dunbar, Mrs. M. Kehoe, Mrs.. W. S. Eaton, 
and cake, Mrs. Ernest Lucas, Mrs. Willis Malonson. ‘The 
25-cent table was in charge of Mrs. William Richardson, 
Mary Burke, Mrs. Charles Hoysradt ; domestic, Mrs. E. L. 
Story; “Mrs. Wiggs and the Cabbage Patch,’”’ Mrs. W. R. 
Boyd, Mrs. Carrie Brown, Susie Symonds; flowers, Mrs. 
Harry C. Foster, Mrs. W. H. Coolidge, Jr., Miss Catherine 
Coolidge, Clara Corrin, Margaret Pickles, Anna Strom- 
bladt, Mona Height, Alice Height, Elsa Swanson, Phyllis 
Lycett, Marion Barter, Dorothy Wonson; punch, Mrs. 
Frank Abbott, Jennie McKay, Edith Height, Mrs. Clifford 
Story. The ladies of the church desire through the BREEzE 
to express their thanks to all contributors to and patrons of 
this bazaar, which was suggested by Mrs. Thomas H. 
Hunt, and to whom much credit is due for its great success.
