Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Putnam and 
family have been spending the holidays 
at their cottage, at Smith’s Point, as 
usual. One of their daughters is in 
California. 
George N. Black and a small party of 
friends—four in all—are to sail from 
New York the latter part of this month 
for the Mediterranean and Egypt, where 
they will later charter one of the many 
small steamers for a private tour of the 
Nile. They will be away several 
months, returning, however, in season to 
spend the summer months at Manches- 
ter, as usual. 
John T. Spaulding and William S. 
Spaulding are leaving Boston for Cali- 
fornia the latter part of January, where 
they will stay until about Feb. 20, when 
they will sail for Japan. They will re- 
main in Japan for several months, as it 
is their purpose to travel back into the 
interior of the country away from the 
beaten tracts of tourists so that they can 
acquire a better knowledge of the life 
and manners of the Japanese. ‘They 
will make the return trip over the Cana- 
dian Pacific route and will be back on 
the North Shore in season for the ‘New 
London races, which they always attend 
on their yacht “‘Isis’’ with a party of 
friends. 
A wedding of interest to North Shore 
people is that of Miss Frances Stotesbury 
and John Kearsley Mitchell, 3rd, an- 
nounced to take place on Tuesday of 
next week---Jan. 5---at Holy Trinity 
chapel, Philadelphia. The Stotesburys 
have been frequent sojourners on the 
North Shore. 
Miss Faith Simpkins, Miss Carrie 
Munn and Miss Martha Bacon rank as 
three of the most prominent debutantes 
of the Washington winter and all of 
them have Boston afhliations. Miss 
Simpkins, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. 
N. S. Simpkins, is a neice of Mrs. Bay- 
ard Thayer and Mrs. George Agassiz. 
Her brother, N. S. Simpkins, jr., is a 
senior at Harvard and much with the 
smart young people here. Miss Simp- 
kins’ finishing year was spent in Paris, 
which has given her more of a grown-up, 
experienced air, perhaps, than most of 
her sister debutantes. She carries her- 
self wonderfully well, is tall, with a fine 
physique and exquisite coloring. Miss 
Munn is one of the tremendously rich 
girls, and perhaps her most intimate 
friend is Miss Roosevelt. She would be 
called the most dashing girl in the group, 
for she is full of the joy of living, dresses 
beautifully and has a wardrobe of infinite 
variety. She is a handsome girl with the 
effective combination of dark hair and 
blue eyes.---Boston Herald.

Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner M. Lane and 
little daughter went to Baltimore from 
their home in Boston last week to spend 
Christmas with Mrs. Lane’s parents, 
Prof. and Mrs. Basil Gildersleeve. 
A wedding in which many North 
Shore people were interested was that of 
Miss Isabel Biddle and A. J. Drexel 
Paul, Harvard ’06, which took place 
Tuesday of this week at St. Mark’s 
church in Philadelphia. The wedding 
was a quiet one, owing to the recent 
death of the groom’s father. Miss Mary 
Astor Paul, a sister, made a long visit on 
the North Shore last summer. Her en- 
gagement was recently announced to 
Charles Munn of Manchester, who is 
now at Harvard. 
George S. Thomas of the Endcliffe 
kennels at Hamilton and Mrs. “Thomas 
were saloon passengers on the steamer 
Devonian that arrived in Boston from 
Liverpool Wednesday week. Mr. Thom- 
as brought back with him a pack of 33 
hounds, most of them prize winners, 
which he picked up in different parts of 
England. They have been taken to 
Hamilton. 
Gypsy Moth Suppression. 
One of the first things which the new 
Legislature will have to take up is the 
matter of the proposed consolidation of 
the gypsy moth and the state forestry de- 
partments. A few weeks ago Supt. 
Kirkland, in charge of the work of sup- 
pressing the gypsy and browntail moth, 
resigned. 
Gov. Guild then believed that the 
gypsy moth department might be merged 
with the forestry department and _ that 
State Forester Rane might preside over 
both, with gain to the state, 
from a financial standpoint. 
It was also felt in the executive de- 
partment that this combination might be 
effected without legislation. The  at- 
torney general’s department was ‘con- 
sulted, however, and advised that the 
legislature undoubtedly intended that the 
gypsy moth department should be a sep- 
arate institution, and that to change this 
the legislature itself would have to act. 
State Forester Rane, might, of course, 
have been made superintendent of the 
gypsy moth work and continued as_ state 
forester. He could draw, however, no 
added compensation for his increased 
labor and responsibilty. 
Gov. Guild will therefore take no 
further action. He wil! leave the matter 
to his successor, but it is well known that 
Lieut. Gov. Draper and Gov. Guild are 
in accord as to what ought to be done 
here.
