the name of the estate, is being occupied by Mr. and Mrs. 
Spalding. 
The Misses Spalding of Brookline, sisters of Richard 
W. Spalding, have purchased a fine lot of land on Ledge 
road, near the estate of the latter, from Ex-Mayor Patch. 
Plans are to be drawn for an attractive cottage and build- 
ing will begin in the autumn or spring. 
W. E. Atwood has taken the studio on the estate 
of Mrs. Clara Harrington, East Main street, for the sea- 
son, while his big studio is in the process of construction. 
Miss Emma Eastwick of Philadelphia has taken the 
Spurr house on Gerring street, near Mt. Pleasant avenue, 
for the season. 
Mr. and Mrs. Conrad Reid and family, of Washing- 
ton, D. C., have taken a cottage on Rocky Neck, near the 
Gloucester Yacht clubhouse. Mr. Reid is the only son 
of the late Brig. Gen. George Croghan Reid, whose widow 
owns “‘Heathercrest,” an estate at Eastern Point, of which 
the general was very fond in his late years. 
G. B. Marean of Michoacan, Mexico, has recently 
joined his family here, located in one of the Tayler bun- 
galows on Mt. Pleasant avenue. Mr. Marean had a 
thrilling experience in the Gulf of Mexico, when the 
Monteray of the Ward Steamship line, upon which he 
was sailing to New York from Vera Cruz, met with a vio- 
lent storm and it was reported that the steanship was 
lost. The wireless apparatus on board was destroyed by 
the gale so that no messages could be sent of the ship’s 
safety. Mr. Marean is engaged in electrical work in Mex- 
ico and he also has flour mills. Michoacan is situated 
nearly 800 miles in the interior of Mexico. The country 
is fertile and productive. As to the heat, Mr. Marean is 
feeling it here very much more than in Mexico, where it 
is a drier heat and averages often between 78 and 8&2 at 
the hottest. At night he has slept with two blankets over 
him, while here, he is uncomfortable with a sheet. “The 
anti-American spirit in my locality is not apparent,” says 
Mr. Marean, “and conditions there among the natives 
are almost beyond realization. The people are starving 
and it is so common to see them going about in tatters 
and clothing worn and torn to shreds, mostly kept on the 
Mr. Mareau was born in 
Washington, D. C., and he has been in Mexico for ten 
years. He has a wife and three children, one of the latter

BASS ROCKS.—Bass Rocks society had the privilege 
last Friday evening at 8.30 o’clock, of hearing Aline 
van Larentzen of Paris, the noted young pianist of only 
19 years of age. Miss van Barentzen has been in this 
country with her mother since the outbreak of the Euro- 
pean war. She studied in Paris being a _ pupil of 
Dohnanqui. She received the grand prix at Paris con- 
servatory when only eleven years old. Paderewski has 
spoken most approvingly of Miss Barentzen’s playing and 
the future for her. The Bass Rocks golf clubhouse, 
where the recital was held, was filled by an interested aud- 
ience of Bass Rocks cottagers and guests from along the 
North Shore. Miss Barentzen’s playing thrilled the audi- 
ence and the splendid musical treat included selections 
fron Chopin, Scarlatti, Wagner Brassin, Schubert-Liszt, 
Pierne, Grieg and Liszt. While at Bass Rocks, Mrs. 
Barentzen and her daughter, Miss Barentzen were the 
guests of Mrs. Winthrop Sargent of Philadelphia, at her 
attractive Bass Rocks cottage on Nautilus road. The 
Barentzens are residents of Philadelphia while in Amer- 
ica. The gifted young pianist will play with the civic 
orchestra next season, appearing in New York and also 
in recitals in Chicago and Philadelphia. On Wednesday 
afternoon at 4 o’clock, Miss Barentzen gave a recital at 
“Questeninere” the summer home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred- 
erick McQuesten of Brookline, at Marblehead Neck. The 
recital was given for the benefit of the French wounded 
soldiers.
