SOCIETY NOTES. 
The First of May brings a big influx of summer so- 
journers to the North Shore. This is true of all sec- 
tions of the Shore,—at Manchester, Beverly Farms and 
along the Beverly shore, Magnolia and along the 
Marblehead and Swampscott shore,—but more especial- 
ly is it true of the Manchester-Beverly Farms-Pride’s 
Grossing section. A score of houses have been opened 
within the last day or two and there is another score 
in readiness for the arrival of their respective occu- 
pants. A few warm days would do wonders toward 
infusing much activity into the resorts all along the 
coast. But people are apparently optimistic, for they 
have been arriving at their shore estates all the week, 
just as though they knew the warm spell prophesized 
for next week were saulally Coes 
The Essex County club at Manchester will open to- 
‘morrow for the season. The locker building has been 
available for use all winter but tomorrow the little 
house on the knoll which has served the requirements 
of a club house since the fire a year ago, will be opened 
for the convenience of members. A Mr. Norris is the 
new manager this eee re 
The Louis’ Baers and the Jesse Koshlands of Bos- 
ton are among the week’s arrivals at Manchester. They 
are settled in their 2 a cottages on Smith’s Point. 
Mrs. Edward Wigglesworth expects to open her 
-cottage at Manchester the middle of this month. The 
Edward C. Richardsons will open their cottage at Mag- 
nolia the 12th of May. reve

Hon. and Mrs. A. P. Gardner arrived from Wash- 
ington yesterday and are settled at ‘‘Sagamore Farm,”’ 
their extensive estate at Hamilton, for the season. The 
Congressmen will return to Washington of course, but 
will run up to Hamilton as often as his official duties 
will permit.

‘Willowbrook Cottage’’ at Beverly, the summer 
home of Charles H. Tyler of Boston, has been open 
about a week. The estate is on East Corning street 
and is a spot of unusual restfulness and beauty. 
Mr. and Mrs. Walter D. Denégre and daughter 
Miss Elaine Denégre, expect to arrive at ‘‘ Villa Crest,’’ 
their summer estate at West Manchester the coming 
week. The vanguard of the household has already ar- 
rived and is putting the house in readiness for ocecu- 
paney. During their stay in Washington, where they 
came after spending the mid-winter in New Orleans, 
the Denégres have been much entertained and several 
very delightful parties have been given for Miss 
Denégre, prominent among which was a dance given 
last Friday night by Mr. and Mrs. Larz Anderson. 
The Denégres will remain at West Manchester only a 
few days, when they will return to Washington for 
‘another week or two before coming to the shore for 
the season, 
SOCIE LYS NOTES: 
New-comers to the North Shore this season, after 
a number of years’ absence, are the J. Brooks Fennos 
of Boston. They have taken the ‘‘Apple Orehard”’ 
ecttage, owned. by Arthur F. Luke at Beverly Farms. 
They were in Europe last season, and the two seasons 
previous to that they were at Mattapoisett, on the 
South Shore.

Another new family to come to the North Shore 
this season are the Stanley Cunninghams of Cambridge, 
who are making their home in New York at the present 
time. They have taken the Dane cottage on Proctor 
street, Smith’s Point, Manchester, and they arrived to- 
day. Mrs. Cunningham was a Burnett of Boston, a sis- 
ter of Dr. Burnett of Boston and Manchester who 
married Helen Read last year. Their nearest neigh- 
bors at Manchester will be the Russell Codmans, the 
Burnetts, the Putnams and the C. A. Reads.

The Chick cottage at Magnolia is to be opened 
soon for the summer season. Mr. and Mrs. Frank S. 
Chick who make their summer home there have been 
very influential in bettering Magnolia. The establish- 
ment of the North Shore Swimming Pool last season 
was in a large measure due to Mr. Chick’s efforts. Mr. 
Chick, as usual, spent Sunday at Magnolia making 
plans for the summer.

taining, always gives some delightful informal affairs 
there during the season. Mr. and Mrs. H. P. McKean,

round colony at Beverly Farms.
