ONE of the sturdiest looking little boys on Singing Beach 
is Tommy Gannett, the little son of Mr. and Mrs. 
Thomas B. Gannett of Blossom Lane, Manchester. 
~Tommy has a delightful play yard with swings, slides, 
sand pile and other things dear to his heart in one of the 
sections into which the garden is divided by cement walls. 
Something else of which Tommy must be fond is the 
pretty baby brother about a year old, who takes his nap 
out in the garden by the big pool filled with water lilies. 
Such an ideal place for a baby to sleep! And then Tom- 
my’s little black Scotch terrier and Tommy himself must 
have fine times racing over the beautiful terraces and 
lawns around the new home. Nowhere else is seen quite 
such a place as the new Gannett house. It 1s of Gothic 
architecture, the house, stables and grounds all charac- 
teristic of the style. A noticeable feature is the large 
white wall enclosing it and also separating the lawn into 
various sections. Vines are planted on the outer part 
of the main wall and roses within. ‘The wall is bordered 
with a wide bed of flowers and the corners are planted in 
-shrubbery and trees. 
The terrace fronting the house is 
also planted effectively in shrubbery. Each section of the 
garden seems like a beautiful little room by itself, and all 
blend into such a perfect whole, and so different from 
the other sea-shore homes. Tommy and the baby brother 
certainly have an ideal home in which to grow up in 
_ tanchester-by-the-Sea.

Mrs. Wm. E. Littleton of “Lilac Lodge,” Beverly 
Farms, has had her daughter, Mrs. George Cushing of 
Milton, with her for a short visit this week. Another 
daughter, Mrs. Frank T. Griswold of Radnor, Pa., who 
usually spends the summer with her mother, will not: 
come this season. Mrs. Griswold hesitates about taking 
her children through New York at this time, so she is 
postponing her visit.

RS. Lester LeELAND’s greenhouse at “Old Tree 
House,” West Manchester, is one of the rare beauty 
spots on the North Shore. The office is almost papered 
with certificates of merit and cards showing prizes taken 
and others showing honorable mention in the many flower 
shows to which the products of her greenhouse have con- 
tributed. Rare plants are seen in the different sections, 
the begonias predominating. Their blossoms hang in great 
waxon clusters of red, white, yellow and orange colors. 
Some beautiful ones are in baskets and hang down like 
vines. The Mrs. Lester Leland geranium is also seen. 
The section given over to chrysanthemums will soon be 
the great attraction in the place. The part most noticeable 
to the casual visitor is the palm room. Here are immense 
tropical plants of great beauty. Among them are ferns, 
orchids and other s‘rall plants suggestive of the tropics. 
Other estates seem to have more extensive gardens and 
greenhouses suited to the garden; others have rare fruit 
houses; but the Leland home seems to excel in the rich- 
ness and rarity of its hothouse plants.

beginning of the week a number of parties motored 
up to the Cathedral Pines Tea Room, Goose Cove, where 
a log fire greeted them and tea was cosily served before 
its cheerful blaze. Among others enjoying tea at this 
fascinating little tea house in the woods were Dr. and 
Mrs. H. H. Hoppe of Cincinnati, and their guest, Miss 
viargaret. Mitchell; Foster Damon, Miss Damon and 
Miss Nelles of Annisquam, and a number of others. Mrs. 
Wilshire, who is stopping at Land’s End for a few weeks, 
gave a delightful luncheon of eight at the Cathedral Pines 
on Saturday. Mrs. Maynard Ladd and Miss Anna Hyatt 
were also cuests of the tea room during the past week.
