Week-end parties at the Essex 
County club have been in vogue all 
the winter and the ‘‘open house’’ 
feature that has been started this 
winter for the first time, is proving 
quite an attraction for the mem- 
bers and their friends. The club 
has been kept open all winter in 
charge of a steward for those who 
desired to visit and there has been 
hardly a week but one or more par- 
ties have availed themselves of the 
privilege. Over the last week-end 
there were several parties down, in- ~ 
eluding Gordon Dexter with a party 
of five, Boylston Beal, with four, 
and G. M. Lane and party. 
Robert Taft, son of the President, 
won the class of 1910 vote as the 
best scholar and the brightest man 
among the seniors at Yale. He has 
led the class in scholarship during 
most of his course.

PITTSBURG. 
Pittsburg is to place her orchestra 
on a permanent footing and her 
premier musical organization is to 
separate from the Art Society and 
a fund is to be created by prominent 
Pittsburgers which shall yield an 
endowment fund of $50,000 a year 
for the orchestra. This is of es- 
pecial interest to Bostonians, since 
the leader of the orchestra, Emil 
Paur, was formerly the leader of the 
Boston Symphony Orchestra, and he 
has built up the orchestra to a stan- 
dard not excelled in the country. 
Pittsburg claims that because of its 
artistic maintainence it can rank 
with Boston, New York and Chica- 
go’s activity and progress in a musi- 
eal direction. The endowment plan 
is to achieve wider fame throughout 
the land and, in a sense, will raise 
a monument to Pittsburg’s enter- 
prise and culture. 
At the dedication last.Sunday of 
the handsome new North Side Uni- 
tarian church, Pittsburg, Rev. L. 
Walter Mason, pastor of the First 
church, Pittsburg, preached the 
sermon. Rev. Mr. Mason is well 
known in Unitarian circles of the 
North Shore, as a former pastor of 
the Gloucester Unitarian Church, 
resigning from the latter church to 
go to Pittsburg. Rev. Mr. Mason had 
the honor to preach before President 
Taft, when the chief executive visit- 
ed Pittsburg last year. 
Mrs. Arthur Murtland Scully, a re- 
cent bride, was the guest of honor 
at a recent tea which Mrs. Henry 
D. Seully gave for her son and 
daughter-in-law, just home from a 
honeymoon trip to Canada. As- 
sisting her were Miss Martha H. 
Childs and Misses Eleanor and Amy 
DuPuy. The Seully, Childs and Du- 
Puy families are well known Man- 
chester summer residents. 
Mrs. George E. Warren is con- 
fined to her home at Bay State road, 
Boston, convalescing from an opera- 
tion. Mrs. Harold J. Coolidge, also 
of the North Shore colony, has been 
eonfined to her home with illness 
part of last month, and Mrs. George 
Silsbee is in a private hospital.

The marriage of Miss Mary L. 
Gurnee, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. 
Walter S. Gurnee, and Francis L. 
V. Hoppin, which took place at the 
home of the bride in New York city 
on Tuesday, was of much interest 
to North Shore people, as the Gur- 
nees are related to the H. H. Thorn- 
dikes and two seasons ago had the 
Miss A. G. Thayer cottage at West 
Manchester. Miss Olivia Thorndike 
was one of the bridesmaids. Mrs. 
John L. Thorndike also went over

Boston and North Shore society 
are much interested in the fair to 
be held on Friday, Feb. 11, from 10 
a. m. to 6 p. m., and Saturday, Feb. 
12, from 10 a. m. to 1 p. m., at Ho- 
tel Somerset, Boston, in aid of the

Deformed Children, 241 St. Botolph 
st. Luncheon will be served on Fri- 
day, from 12 to 2 p. m., and tea at 
4p.m. This year the management 
hope the result will be large, as all 
are anxious to have the trustees feel 
that they are justified in opening the 
fourth schoolroom, that more of 
these unfortunate children on the 
waiting list may receive the care 
and training of the school. J. Graf- 
ton Minot is treasurer of the enter- 
tainment committee.
