8 NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
OCEANSIDE HOTEL, MAGNOLIA 
The Wednesday and Saturday evening dances at The 
Oceanside, Magnolia, are the summer society events of 
the North Shore. As the season advances, they are be- 
coming more and more popular and the guests at the 
hotel think it quite the proper thing, on these _ eve- 
nings, to give dancing parties which are attended by 
many of the very fashionable set that summers between 
Nahant and Cape Ann. These events are dress affairs, 
of course, and, when the merry whirl is at its height, 
there is not an idea in hat or gown that New York or 
Paris has put out this summer that is not represented 
in that spacious ball-room that looks out upon the sea. 
It is a charming thing, on a stormy night, to note the 
contrast between the ocean, where it lashes the bould- 
ders on Rocky Beach, and the gaily lghted ball-room 
where the cultured and distinguished of nearly every 
country in the world are keeping step to the entrancing 
music. For the Oceanside is not only the largest, but 
the most cosmopolitan hotel in all New England and 
if one’ would see a spectacle of rare charm and gaiety, 
let him look in on The Oceanside’s ball-room on a Satur- 
day night. 
In the lobby of the hotel Tuesday evening we noted 
a little bridge party composed of Mrs. D. B. Hussey, 
Mrs. John Philip Sousa, Mrs. John M. Hood, Jr., and 
Mrs. Curtis F. Burman. Mrs. Burman wore a low cut 
gown. Mrs. Hussey wore black lace, with a white pic- 
ture hat. Mrs. Sousa looked quite girlish in her gown 
of white embroidered batiste and with a pale blue ban- 
deau encircling her head. Mrs. Hood, who is one of 
the best dressed womenat Magnolia looked very 
charming in a black lace gown over satin, fastened at 
the breast with a large horse-shoe diamond brooch. 
Mrs. Ewing Hill and Mrs. Armond H. Buysse of 
St. Louis, Mo., have taken rooms in the Wilkins Cot- 
tage and are settled for the season. They are among the 
most prominent society people of St. Louis and, though 
not at Magnolia, have been coming to the North Shore 
for several seasons. 
Edward J. Phelps of New York and Philadelphia, is 
a guest, for a brief stay, of General and Mrs. George L. 
Andrews of New York and Washington, who have de- 
lightful rooms for the season in Highland Cottage. 
Though the season is well along, newcomers from 
far and near are daily arriving at the Oceanside. Among 
the latest arrivals are Miss Helen Cavanaugh and Mrs. 
Ella Stevenson of Scranton, Pa. They will have rooms 
at one of the cottages. 
The latest addition to the list of very notable men 
that are staying at the Oceanside this summer is Joseph 
Harriman of New York City. Mr. Ilarriman is a rela- 
tive of the late E. H. Harriman the great railroad finan- 
cier. Financially, Mr. Harriman is as ambitious as the

as she is among the most popular of the younger set 
on the North Shore. She is a very attractive girl.

nually spend a good part of the summer. Mr. and Mrs.
