MARBLEHEAD NECK 
Several Brookline families have increased the num- 
ber opening summer homes at Marblehead Neck recent- 
ly. They are those of Benjamin Owen, Andrew Rae- 
burn and Michael L. Maddon. 
The Poole cottage opposite the Oceanside hotel is 
occupied this season by Mr. and Mrs. Russell Burrage 
of Boston, whose wedding was one of the recent nuptial 
events of that city. 
The William G. Barkers of Salem have arrived at 
their summer home on Ocean avenue near Lighthouse 
Point. 
Miss Jane G. Mason and Carl T. Mason of German- 
town have been registered at the New Fountain Inn, 
while their cottage on Ocean avenue was prepared for 
their summer occupancy. Their many Marblehead 
friends deeply regretted to learn that their father, 
Richard Servetus Mason, had passed away May 31. Mr. 
Mason’s generosity during his sojourns at Marblehead 
found expression through his monetary aid to the publie 
library and the Historical society of Marblehead. The 
town esteemed him as a most friendly disposed summer 
resident of cultured mind and fine character, Mr. Mason 
spent much of his time abroad owing to ill health. 
The Parker families of Boston, Charles W., Her- 
man and Ross Parker,—are counted among the Boston- 
ians, who have returned to the Neck again this season. 
Their respective summer homes, ‘‘Parkhill,’’ ‘‘White- 
gates,’’ and ‘‘Hawthorne Lodge,”’ are all hospitably and 
attractively open for the season. 
The Ocean avenue villa of Irving Palmer of Win- 
chester, one of the most attractive summer homes at 
Marblehead Neck, is open. This handsome and imposing

bor with all its fascinating marine panorama. The 
grounds of the house are artisticly laid out. The en- 
tire estate is noteworthy for its beauty at the Neck. 
The Charles 8. Katons of Boston and Pasadena, 
Calif., have changed from the tropical lovliness of the 
Pacific coast to the invigorating sea breezes of the At- 
lantic. ‘‘The Moorings’’ their Marblehead Neck - es- 
tate has welcomed them back for the season of 1912. 
Mr. and Mrs. James M. Hunnewell (Emeline C. 
Ticknor) of Boston will be at ‘‘The Breezes’’ cottage 
Ocean avenue, Marblehead Neck, again this season. 
The Lawrence F. Percivals’ arrival at ‘‘Greycourt,’’ 
their Marblehead Neck estate, added another Brookline 
family to the Neck contingent. Mrs. Percival (Evelyn 
L. Joyce) is as active a yachtswoman as her husband 
and father (Wm. H. Joyce) are yachtsmen. Mr. Percival 
has a new power cruising yacht, ‘‘The Barracuda’’ for 
this season. He has also purchased an eight-foot by- 
droplane capable of speeding 18 miles an hour. It will 
be the first one to be sailed in Marblehead waters. _ 
Frank E. Peabody, prominent in Boston’s financial 
and banking circles, has closed his winter residence on

ily at the Neck in their cottage on Foster and Valley 
streets.
