RS: Joun Hays HamMonp is endeavoring to form a 
chapter of the Woman’s American Supply League 
upon the North Shore. Upon a recent trip to New York 
che attended the opening of the work rooms of the order 
of which she is the president. The enterprise is upper- 
most with Mrs. Hammond at this time and she reports 
with enthusiasm the progress wade in New York and 
elsewhere. The Polyclinic hospital gave the league am- 
bulances, nurses and doctors for their use in the city or 
anywhere needed. From the city and from regiments 
and individuals came many forms of donations for the 
vpening. ‘This league or “Woman’s Militia of Mercy” 
as it is sometimes called will share in-the proceeds of next 
week's entertainment of “The Stampede” which’ will take 
place at Sheepshead Bay Speedway, in which New York 
society. will aid relief work for the soldiers’ families. 
Mrs. Hammond will be at the entertainment next Mon- 
day. She is planning to enlist the women of the country 
in the movement and is receiving the support of many 
federated clubs. Mrs. Hammond has always been inter- 
ested in other women and their club work. She is the 
first vice-president of both the National Council ofe 
Woven and of the World’s Court League, and was the 
founder of the Women’s Clinic. This spring when the 
Federated Clubs held their convention in New York, Mrs. 
Hammond was hostess for the city. 
The Hammonds have a little ‘‘cliff dwelling” perched 
high upon the rocks overlooking the beautiful Gloucester 
harbor. From the cosy little place one can look down to 
the Natalia, the famous little boat of John Hays Ham- 
mond, Jr., whose laboratory is close by. In this cliff 
house is a very large round table at which Mr. Ham- 
mond is fond of writing and at which he usually does his 
summer’s work. The little place is reached by a rocky 
pathway leading past pools of water falling in a most 
realistic way from high up among the rocks. In these 
half dozen or more pools on the rocky hillside are pretty 
water lilies, all forming an ideal water garden. Water 
basins and lilies seem to predominate on the beautiful 
grounds, adding much to the charm of the rocky, woodsy 
place known as “Lookout Hill,’’ Gloucester. 
House-guests at “Lookout Hill” for August are Miss 
Marion Cleveland, daughter of Mrs. Thomas J. Preston 
(Mrs. Grover Cleveland) of New York, and Miss Mary 
Hoyle,;a niece from W ashington.

HE, Hunvine Ser started their season Tuesday even- 
ing, when the first pony drag was held, starting from 
the George S. Mandells at “The Four Corners.” Miss 
Emma Mandell is master of the hounds and her whip is 
Mrs. Frederick Ayer, Jr., (Hilda Rice) of Topsfield. The 
hounds used for the pony drags belong to the Mandells 
and are trained for the purpose, while those of the Myopia 
club are the fox hounds. The club extends the courtesy 
for the .drags through. its master, James W. Appleton. 
Never did the hounds follow the anise trail any better than 
on Tuesday, when the merry group of riders started at 
5.30 and made a run of about five miles. The layer-out 
of the trails, James E. Dodge of Hamilton, rode on his 
horse, Baldy, formerly belonging to Mrs. Charles G. Rice. 
Following the trail, which led through the Mandell, Frick _ 
and Hugo Johnstone places, were James H. Proctor, Miss 
Polly Proctor, Miss Julia Appleton, Mr. and Mrs. A. C. 
Purrage, Jr., Miss Anna Agassiz, Childs Frick, Thomas 
W. Peirce, Mrs. George Burroughs, Charles F. Ayer, Mrs. 
C. G. Rice, Neil Rice, Miss Mary Curtis of Pride’s Cross- 
ing and others fron Beverly Farms. Missed from the 
riders this year were Tom Proctor, who does not return 
from the Plattsburg camp until Sunday, and Sam Mandell, 
the former whip, who is away at Buffalo in the interests 
of aviation. The start was enjoyed by an interested gall- 
ery of friends from along the Shore. 
Much entertaining throughout this inland region has 
been in progress the past week. At the Myopia the pretty 
little clubhouse has had notable parties. Mrs. Paul Moore 
gave a tea on Sunday for eighteen; Lester Leland gave a 
luncheon on Saturday for seven; Miss Eleonora Sears 
entertained eight on Sunday night, among whom was Miss 
Molla B jurstedt, the famous tennis player. Other parties 
were I. R. Thomas. five luncheon guests on Sunday; 
Tho~as G. Frothingham, ten; Mrs. J. B. Moulton, six, 
and Reginald de Koven, five. Among others who have 
been entertaining in their homes and were of the enter- 
tained are Miss Mandell and her house-guests, Gordon 
Prince, Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Ayer, Jr., Mr. and Mrs. 
‘Tom Peirce of Topsfield, Neil and T. E. P. Rice, Robert
