[PSWicH has the honor of starting something really 
new this Wednesday. That is, it is new as far as the 
BreEEzE knows. A class in Preparedness Cooking was 
opened in the Winthrop school under the auspices of Fred 
B. Knight, superintendent of Ipswich schools. The pupils 
are from Ipswich, and Coolidge’s Point, Manchester, 
Wenham, and other resorts will soon be represented. 
The young matrons and society girls who make up the 
class are zealous in their efforts to learn to cook along 
these special lines, and their progress will be watched with 
interest. Mrs. Montgomery Sears, who has charge of 
the domestic economics of the Special Aid Society for 
American Preparedness, suggested, in her recent talk at 
Beverly, that every woman prepare in some way, so that 
in case of need, it would be known who could do special 
lines of work best. She said that the canning departmen:, 
in charge of Mrs. Nathaniel Thayer (mother of Mrs. 
Frederic Winthrop of Hamilton), had thought of send- 
ing to the troops in Texas, the results of their work this 
summer, ‘The class in Ipswich is composed of Mrs. John 
Heard, Mrs. H. N. Doughty, Mrs. H. P. McKean, Jr., 
Mrs. Robert Haydeck (Ruth Harrington), and the Misses 
Eleanor Jackson, Corinna Searle, Polly Proctor, Ruth 
Paine, Elizabeth Paine, Ruth Foster, Caroline Fessenden 
and others. Another section will probably be made soon, 
ten being considered sufficient for one group. The class 
is open to all at $5 for the course. Miss Nutter of 
Rowley and her assistant are in charge. 
“Briar Hill,” Appleton Farms, has not been opened 
for several years, but it is occupied this summer for a 
short time by Mrs. Norman R. Sturgis and children of 
Medfield, who have come to visit Mrs. Sturgis’ parents, 
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph F. Woods of Boston, who are stay- 
ing at Y°*Rogers Manse in Ipswich. Mrs. Sturgis has 
with her Mrs. A. Boynton Glidden of Medfield. “Briar 
Hill” is the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph F. Woods 
(Harriette G. Cotton-Smith) and is one of the old home- 
steads on the Appleton Farms. 
Prof. Arthur S. Kimball and family of Oberlin Col- 
lege are spending the summer at Little Neck, Ipswich. 
Prof. Kimball is an artist of much renown and is busily 
engaged in making sketches of North Shore scenes. 
Mrs. Jospeh 'B. Breed of Lynn is spending the sum- 
mer with her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. 
Henry N. Berry of Lynn, at Ipswich, where they are 
occupying the Charles Bohlen estate on County road. The 
place is known as “Ingleside,” taking its name from the 
little brook or part of Ipswich river that runs through 
it. The house stands well back from the road and 1s 
entered by a long driveway passing over an old wooden 
bridge near or seemingly part of an old mill building. 
The whole place is a charming, quiet place in which to 
spend a summer. It lies between the George E. Barnard

Mr. and Mrs. William Wendell (Ruth Appleton) of

Wendell’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Francis R. Appleton of 
“Appleton Farms,” Ipswich. Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Hay 
(Alice Appleton) are in Newbury in a quiet country place 
far from other estates. 
Mr. and Mrs. Nathaniel S. Simpkins of the Manse 
gave a river party last Tuesday night, taking the Joseph 
F. Woodses, Mrs. Norman R. Sturgis and her house- 
guest, Mrs. A. Boynton Glidden, for a trip up Ipswich 
river. 
Miss Elsie Heard of Ipswich, who has painted pic- 
tures of many children in North Shore homes, is now 
making frequent trips to Kendal Green to paint the port- 
rait of a little child in the Austin T. White home. 
Y° Rogers Manse did a thriving business during the 
recent hot spell. As many as fifty came during the hot 
night of last week. Mrs. C. D. Stanford and daughter, 
Miss Amy Stanford, of Ipswich and Mrs. Joseph C. Kil- 
ham of Beverly have been among those giving luncheons. 
The place is becoming known far and wide as one of the 
best Inns in its locality. 
Y°® Burnham House has been a busy place lately. 
Among the many Shore guests have been Mr. and Mrs. 
Charles P. Searle; and a luncheon party recently was 
composed of Mrs. John B. Moulton, her mother, Mrs. 
George E. Niles, Mrs. John Heard and Mrs. Albert C. 
Burrage, Jr. The register shows names from all parts 
of the country, many of whom make a special trip through 
Ipswich in order to stop at the old house. Mrs. Herbert 
Nickerson of Chicago and the New Ocean House, 
Swampscott, entertained sixteen for luncheon last week. 
The lazy worker watching the clock is unconsciously 
looking for the hour when he will get “fired.” 
HE, Barnarp GARDENS again! Once each season the 
BREEZE writer visits the beautiful gardens in Ips- 
wich belonging to the George E. Barnards of “River 
Bend Farm.” This summer more changes have been 
made than usual and the whole presents a beautiful pic- 
ture when viewed from the high rocky garden on the 
hillside. The greatest change is that the rose garden has 
been lifted up bodily and transplanted to another part of 
the place and is now in full bloom, a most unusual thing 
for the first year after such a change. The re-planting 
was made the middle of May. 
One of the most striking features of the place is the 
new garden of California heliotropes, where 1000 of the 
rare plants form a purple mass in serpentine beds with 
tree heliotropes in the center. Imported lilacs are also
