SOCIETY NOTES 
Residents along the Shore are 
showing much interest in the exhi- 
bition at Magnolia of a collection of 
exceedingly rare and most beauti- 
fully carved jades, crystals, corals, 
amethysts and other hard stones, 
which are being shown by Mr. 
Frank Partridge of London and 
New York City, under the direction 
of Mr. Alexander F. Otto. Many 
of the stones on exhibition have 
been, at one time or another, in the 
possession of the Emperors of China 
and have a long history of romance 
and tragedy attached to them. So 
large is this collection and so limit- 
ed is the supply that one wonders 
how it has been possible to bring 
such a beautiful lot of gems to- 
gether. It was accomplished large- 
ly through the fact that three mem- 
bers of the house of Partridge— 
which is well-known to all Ameri- 
cans who have visited London— 
make their permanent residence in 
China and are always ready to se- 
eure any stone of importance that 
happens to turn up.

All is in readiness for the annual 
water-sports carnival of the Man- 
chester Yacht club, at the Club’s 
home tomorrow afternoon. There 
will be high and _ fancy driving, 
swimming races, obstacle races and 
the other conventional water-sports 
events, all of which will be econ- 
tested by members of the younger 
society set along the North Shore. 
There are many indications that 
there will be a very generous at- 
tendance of the fashion. The event 
will also be the occasion of several 
delightful affairs of a social nature 
as tables have been reserved at the 
Hssex County club and the North 
Shore Grill for a number of small 
dinner-parties to follow the sports 
at the yacht club.

Many of the younger set at the 
Oceanside, take a lively interest in 
bowling and a group of them may 
be found in the alleys of the hotel 
at certain hours most every day. 
Miss Margaret Walker of Detroit is 
the best bowler among the young 
women. She holds the record for 
candle pins which is 112; Roger 
Hall holds the boy’s record which 1s 
116, and Hugh Bullock, of New 
York, the juveniles’ record of 101. 
Worcester Lambert of St. Louis, 
holds the big pin record for the 
men—222, and Baird Ryckman of 
Toronto, the boy’s record, 139. 
Genevieve Mangan of Washington, 
is one of the best bowlers among 
the girls. Baron di Rosa is among 
the good bowlers. For a while he 
held the high score. Miss Adelaide 
Brainard, Miss Philippa Queen and 
Miss Julia Culbert are among the 
girls who bowl a good deal. 
Among the delightful parties en- 
joyed by the younger set at the 
Oceanside was a marshmellow roast, 
given on the rocks Monday night 
after dinner by James and Helen 
Ingam of Buffalo. There were ahout 
30 young people in the party. Miss 
Woodmansee and George Robertson 
were chaperons. In the group were 
Miss Adelaide and Frances Brain- 
ard, Miss Philippa Queen, Janet 
Bryan, Ethel Morse, Janette Wil- 
hams, Mary M. Walker, and Rosa- 
mond Ryckman, Ralph Powers, W. 
Morgan, Eugene Gorman, Gurney 
Ryckman, Roger Armstrong, Wil- 
lam Richards and Philip Bryan. 
Among the very charming young 
girls at Magnolia this summer is 
Miss Adelaide Brainard, daughter 
of Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Brainard of 
Pittsburg, who are in the Covel Cot- 
tage for this summer. Miss Brain- 
ard and her older sister, Miss Fran- 
ces, are very popular among the 
younger set at the Oceanside.

After a prolonged period of dull- 
ness during which the deterrent in- 
fluences of politics and the favorable 
crop and business reports have kept 
the market in a state of equilibrium 
this week witnessed the turning of 
the seales. As had been indicated 
by the accumulation of many issues 
during the past few weeks the turn 
was towards higher prices. Natural- 
ly we shall see the usual reactions

on crop seares and politics but they 
will probably only have a temporary 
effect and will leave the trend gen- 
erally upward, at least for several 
weeks.. 
Crops and_ general 
business are 
and the’ grain 
steadily improving 
facing several 
carrying roads are 
months of good traffic. Consequent- 
ly not so much attention is being 
paid to the large losses in net income 
17 
now being reported. Atchison, 
whose position was strong anyway, 
will benefit very largely and this 
should be reflected in a material 
market rise. Already the stock has 
shown considerable activity and we 
believe it is being accumulated by 
some of the best interests in the 
street. 
Steel stocks naturally reflect gen- 
eral conditions very closely and in- 
creased activity by the railroads has 
been reflected in higher prices for 
all equipment stocks. They are iam- 
pered by orders placed with them be- 
fore prices of their products were 
raised. If it were not for this U. S. 
Steel would be showing record carn- 
ings. The influence of these will be 
fo It even during the current quarter, 
but not nearly to the extent that 
they were in the last. So it seems 
safe to presume that the earnings 
for the whole year will make a very 
favorable showi ing. Of the other 
steel stocks we call attention es- 
pecially to American Car and Foun- 
dry. They have been  inereasing 
their plants and are doing a larger 
percentage of the car business of the 
ings. The influence of these will be 
country than at any previous time. 
Their surplus about equals their tot- 
al issue of preferred stock and they 
have no bonds or notes outstanding. 
Actually the book value of common 
stock is over $210 a share. The small 
dividends paid have resulted in this 
strong position and the time is very 
near when stockholders will be re- 
warded for their many years of pa- 
tient waiting. 
The long expected copper 
seems to he under way at last. Four 
of the prominent companies are 
scheduled for dividend meetings dur- 
ing the coming week and increases 
seem certain in almost every ease. 
Calumet and Arizona is probably the 
best of these and as it is earning bet- 
ter than $9 a share should be good 
for several points rise in the next ten 
days. Strangely enough that ‘‘hid- 
den copper’’ doesn’t seem to ma- 
terialize.
