8 NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
The Oceanside Hotel, Magnolia is to be the sum- 
mer-home, this year, of a large number of very distin- 
guished people. In fact, it is many a year since so large 
a number of persons of national and international name 
have come together at any one place on the North Shore. 
Despite the fact that several of the embassies and lega- 
tions of foreign powers forsook their long-accustomed 
haunts at Manchester for Newport this year, the Norti 
Shore is to have quite a number of the diplomats all 
summer long and they will make their headquarters at 
the Oceanside. 
The coming week will see the arrival of Signor 
Eduardo Suarez, the Chilian minister to the United 
States and his interesting family. They will probably 
arrive on July 3rd, to spend the Fourth of July at the 
seaside, away from the clatter and noise of the city, 
They will be at Magnolia for the remainder of the sea- 
son, returning to Washington early September. 
Another of the diplomatic corps coming to the 
Oceanside is Dr. de Pina, Minister from Uraguay. He 
and his family are coming from Washington next week 
and will spend the season at Fox Cottage. 
Madame L. H. Goiran, wife of the French consul 
at New York City, arrived at the Oceanside on 
Wednesday, accompanied by her three-year-old child 
and its nurse. Monsieur Goiran is expected to arrive 
shortly. While he cannot spend the entire season with 
his family, he will make frequent trips from New York 
for the week-end and the holidays. 
Mr. and Mrs. John Markle of New York City are 
expected at the Oceanside to-morrow for the season. 
They have engaged apartments in Breakers Cottage 
and are preparing to entertain lavishly in honor of many 
New York and Washington friends who will visit them 
from time to time during the season. The Markles are 
one of the most prominent families of Gotham. Mr. 
Markle is closely affiliated with the banking firm of J. 
Pierpont Morgan & Company. 
To provide entertainment for its most exceptional 
gathering of patrons, the Oceanside is preparing a long 
program of both indoor and outdoor events. Every 
Wednesday night, the big ball-room will be given over 
to’an informal hop. These are already causing consid- 
erable comment as ‘there seems to be a movement afoot. 
for some novel features. Among both the younger and 
more elderly sets and coteries, an effort is making it- 
self felt for the revival of the old dances that were the 
delight of the ball-room fifty years ago. It is very like- 
ly that the spectator at the Wednesday evening hops 
will see the schottische, the minuet, the Virginia reel 
and all the rest of them executed with all the gallantry 
and precision that marked the American ball-room in 
the days before the great war. 
Saturday evenings will be given over to formal

balls. Since last season, a new floor of white maple 
has been laid, which will add much to the enjoyment 
of the dancers. Heretofore there has been one grand 
ball in mid-July that has surpassed all other in num- 
bers and splendor. This season there will be two, one 
in July and one in August, it is expected. 
Additions have also been made to the out-door 
events. The usual tennis tournaments, golf matches 
and beach horse-show will be held, and, in addition, 
there will be a revival of the water carnival. This has 
not been held for the last several years. There will be 
swimming races, contests in faney diving and all the 
other events that make a water carnival attractive. 
There will be both trophies and ribbons for the winner 
of the events. 
The Oceanside is a mecea for the warm, worn and 
weary, these balmy days of June. In the cities 
and the inland country, the last week has brought 
the hottest June weather in a _ generation. The 
mercury has been pushed up to a point which it has 
not touched, in the month of June, in more than thirty 
years. But at Magnolia, breezes from the sea have 
tempered the warmest afternoon to ideal weather for 
golf and tennis, and the Oceanside’s beach, links and 
courts, its promenades and verandas, have suddenly 
blossomed out like a great summer’s garden with suits 
and hats, gowns and parasols of every tint and hue. 
The last week has seen many distinguished arrivals 
at the big hotel that faces the sea. Some have come 
for their-first visit and enjoy every hour with one or 
another of the many varied entertainments and pas- 
times that the Oceanside provides. But the greater 
number are patrons of long-standing, come back for 
another season, who spend their first days about the 
hotel lobby and verandas, renewing old friendships and 
acquaintances made in seasons gone before, which have 
lasted through the years.. That is the distinctive im- 
pression the big lobby gives an afternoon—the impres- 
sion of a great family reunion. 
Among the arrivals of the week was J. W. Gum- 
mey of Boston. Mr. Gummey has been going to the 
Oceanside for the season for many years. His arrival 
is always noteworthy. For he is a horseman of the 
thoroughbred type and, every season, makes the 30-mile 
trip from Boston to Magnolia in a favorite trap, be- 
hind a thoroughbred high-stepper. This year was no 
exception to the rule. When Mr. Gummey arrived at 
the Oceanside, he found several friends of long-stand- 
ing already there to greet him and offer congratula- 
tions on his drive up the Shore. Mr. Gummey has tak- 
en apartments in The Gables where he will be visited 
later, by his daughter and son-in-law, Captain and Mrs. 
K, O. Powers of New York City.
