North Shore people were interested was the marriage

daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Francis R. Appleton of the 
Ipswich summer colony; Miss Martha McCook of New

Dorothy Williams of that city, and Miss Helen Sears of 
Boston, daughter of Mrs. J. Montgomery Sears, and

Jr., also the bride’s brother, George von L. Meyer, Jr., 
together with Lieutenant David Bagley, Major James A.

bride’s father was Secretary of the 
Navy accepted invitations to the wed- 
ding and reception and the event was

The Gardiner M. Lanes, who have had “The Chim- 
neys,” their Manchester house, open the last month for 
week-ends, are now settled on the-shore permanently for 
the summer. Mrs. Lane returned last week from a visit 
with her parents, Prof. and Mrs. Gildersleeve in Balti- 
more. The young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lane, Kath- 
erine, has been much in evidence on the roads about Man-

home of the Andrew Carnegie, 2ds. 
at Manchester Cove, will be occupied 
the coming season by the Leonard Cot- 
ton Hannas of Euclid avenue, Cleve- 
land, the estate having been leased the 
last week through the Boardman 
agency. Last year Mr. and Mrs. 
Hanna had the R. C. Hooper estate, 
so-called, at West Manchester, and the 
year before that they were at one of 
the Otis Luke cottages at Beverly 
Farms. Their son, Leonard Hanna, 
Jr., who is very popular among the 
younger set, will spend the summer 
here also. Their daughter, who mar- 
ried Paul Moore, son of Judge Moore 
of Pride’s Crossing, several seasons 
ago, is one of the most charming of 
the younger matrons in the North 
Shore colony. “Seawold” is not far 
from Oceanside hotel where so many 
Cleveland people spend the summer,
