SOCIETY NOTES 
Mrs. William H. Taft left Tuesday evening for 
Washington after nearly a month’s stay at ‘‘Para- 
matta,’’ Montserrat. Mrs. Taft is undecided how long 
it will be before she returns to the North Shore. Thurs- 
day President Taft was officially notified that he had 
been chosen as the Republican nominee for the next 
election. In conjunction with this ceremony are many 
important social affairs at which Mrs. Taft will act as 
hostess. Should Congress show any signs of adjourn- 
ment next week Mrs. Taft may return in ten days with 
the President, who hopes to be able to come to Beverly 
in the middle of the month, but the beginning of his 
long stay must, of course, depend upon the movements 
of Congress. The young people of the family. Miss 
Helen and Robert and Charlie, will not go to Washing- 
ton with Mrs. Taft. They have as guests Miss Sophie 
Johnston and George Harrison of Washington and Dr. 
Carey T. Grayson of the ‘‘Mayflower’’. Miss Taft is 
a favorite with the younger set along the Shore and has 
been a frequnt contestant in the tennis matches at the 
country clubs, also she has enjoyed many a gallop on 
her favorite horse which she brought to Beverly with 
her. She was one of the many young women who rode 
at the Montserrat Country Fair last Saturday. Charlie 
and Robert divide their time between golf, tennis and 
yachting. .

at the Brownland cottages when Mrs. H. M. Hubbard 
of Chicago and Miss L. M. Bradley of New York extend- 
ed their hosptality to a party of friends, in which were 
included Mr. and Mrs. Russel Tyson. Simplicity was the 
key-note of everything; the cool green and white din-

Clay Arthur Pierce of St. Louis has joined his fam- 
ily at ‘‘Skerryvore,’’ Pride’s Crossing, where they have 
been spending the season. The family occupied the 
Bremer cottage, Smith’s Point, Manchester-by-the-Sea, 
last season. It was largely through the desire to be near 
Mr. Pierce’s father, Henry Clay Pierce, at ‘‘Rock Cove’’ 
that they were led to join the Pride’s colony again this 
year.

Miss Mary Curtis of the Pride’s summer colony is 
ill at her home. Miss Curtis is very popular with the 
‘young people and her illness was a great disappointment 
to her friends as well as herself because it made it im- 
possible for her to ride her thoroughbred, Typhoon at 
the Montserrat Country Fair last Saturday. While the 
illness is nothing more serious than tonsilitis, Miss Cur- 
tis will probably be confined to her home for a few days 
longer,

Miss Clara Winthrop, who has been at Winthrop, 
Maine, for two weeks, has returned to West Manches- 
ter. Friends of Miss Winthrop will be intetrested to 
learn that the choir boys of St. Paul’s, who had been 
in camp at Winthrop largely through her kindness, were 
on board the City of Rockland recently at the time of 
her collision with the collier William Chisholm. The 
boys distinguished themselves by their splendid behav- 
ior and after being taken from the sinking boat to the 
collier stood on the Gace and sang hymns of praise.

J. N. Willys has returned to Pride’s Crossing after 
a few days spent at the automobile conference at Christ- 
mas Cove, Maine. Mr. Willys’ financial activities have 
been quite important recently. In addition to being 
president of the Willys-Overland Automobile company, 
Mr. Willys has secured entire control of the Garford 
Company of Elyria, Ohio, having bought enough stock 
from the Studebaker Corporation to be enabled to do 
so. The Secretary of State in Columbus recently formal- 
ly approved an increase in the stock of the Willys-Over- 
land Company from $6,000,000 to $15,000,000. The 
company is contemplating an addition to the present 
factory, to cost thousands of dollars.

Mrs. Charles 8S. Penhallow of Boston and Magnolia 
gave a delightful luncheon Tuesday at the Beverly Cove 
Grill. The Grill is a charming place for luncheon parties 
and afternoon teas. Society people all along the shore 
have become interested in the Grill, which was opened 
for its first season this year, with surprising promptness. 
The convenient situation of the house and its inviting 
grounds, with the dainty tables set for tea or luncheon 
as the case may be, cannot fail to attract those who 
appreciate the best in everything connected with a tea 
house. The Beverly Cove Grill seems to fill a long felt 
need in the Beverly section of the North Shore, in pro- 
viding a place secluded, yet convenient for all.

on her way to that fashionable resort. Miss Bradford 
will entertain Miss Hayes’ mother upon the latter’s re- 
turn from Maine.
