transit and schedules. 
engine room, galley, 
tion will then be classed as suburban, 
many occupying their estates all 
year. Express and_ subscription 
trains will give fast and unexcelled 
transit to and from the city at all 
hours of the day and night, making 
the living on the seashore an all year 
luxury. The trend coastward and 
into the open country from the con- 
gestion of the cities on the Atlantic, 
is assuming the appearance of an - 
exodus of all those that love a home 
in all the larger, richer significance 
of the term. Suburban boundaries 
are ever expanding under the im- 
pulse of faster and better railroad 
And when we 
remember that we are but in the be- 
ginning of this movement there is no 
limit to its unfolding. 
To study or even look at a late 
map of the Jersey coast line one can 
see, by comparison with the - past, 
how these towns, resorts, summer 
colonies and large estates have mul- 
tiplied, until it looks like a doubt- 
ful proposition how many more can 
crowd into a section already so 
thoroughly developed. 
Fortunate indeed is he who holds 
title to even a narrow strip of this 
sandy soil or sits enthroned, pos- 
sessed of the hills that overlook both 
land and sea, for his posterity will 
some day arise and call him blessed. 
IN YACHTING CIRCLES. 
A 57-ft. seagoing power cruiser 
for Robert Saltonstall of the North 
Shore colony is being built, from de- 
signs of Swasey, Raymond & Page 
of Boston. The dimensions of the 
vessel are as follows: 57 feet 4 inch- 
es over all, 48 feet 6 inches water 
line, 11 feet extreme beam, and 3 
feet 4 inches draft. 
The yacht is of the raised deck 
type. The outboard profile shows 
a raised deck forward, followed by 
a well protected bridge deck with 
steering gear ahd engine signals. 
The trunk cabin is not excessively 
high and gives good headroom in the 
and owner’s 
quarters below. 
Her power plant will consist of a 
new model six-cylinder 40-horse 
power engine, and her speed will be 
about 10 miles an hour. She is de- 
signed primarily for cruising, and 
with a good freeboard forward and 
powerful hull she will be very sea- 
worthy. The boat will make a fine 
addition to the Eastern yacht club’s 
fleet next summer. 
Alfred C. Needham of Manches- 
ter is having a cruising power boat 
built at Adams’ yard, East Booth- 
bay, Me. The work of the interior 
finish has been started.

Pittsburg. 
Cupid has successfully carried on 
a campaign among young people of 
Pittsburg well known on the North 
Shore, and this week there has been 
a round of fashionable weddings for 
Pittsburg society. On Tuesday, the 
nuptials of Joseph Horne Holmes 
and Miss Gwendolin Burgwin were 
solemnized. Mr. Holmes has been 
entertained at Prides by Henry Clay 
Frick and family. Wednesday, the 
wedding of Miss Margaret Kirk and 
Thomas Liggett, jr., took place. The 
Liggett family are Bass Rocks sum- 
mer residents. 
The wedding tomorrow, April g: 
of Miss Elizabeth Heron and Henry 
M. Curry is quite the most prominent 
on the list and is of much interest 
to North Shore society since Mr. Cur- 
ry’s mother, Mrs. Henry M. Curry, 
is so prominently connected with 
Magnolia, as an owner of a costly es- 
tate there. The ceremony will be per- 
formed at 5 o’clock, Saturday after- 
noon, in the Calvery Episcopal 
church, followed by a large recep~ 
tion at 5.30 at ‘*Hadston,’’ South 
Linden avenue, the residence of the 
bride elect’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. 
John Brown Heron. The bride elect 
was educated at Briarcliff, N. Y., 
and abroad in Paris, and the wed- 
ding will bring numerous. school 
friends to Pittsburg, among them, 
Miss Luey MeCormick Blair of Chi- 
cago, as one of the bridesmaids; al- 
so Miss Louise Warfield of Balti- 
more, daughter of ex-Governor War- 
field, to act in a like capacity, as will 
Miss Margaret Curry. The groom 
elect will have several Cornell class- 
mates to assist him as ushers, Albert 
Curry, his brother, as best man, and 
Charles 8. Estabrook of Syracuse, N. 
Y., his brother-in-law, will serve as 
one of the ushers. Entertainments 
in honor of their house guests have 
been in progress all the week, teas, 
rebearsals, dinners and theatre par- 
ties with Miss Margaret Curry, Mrs 
Albert Curry and Mr. and Mrs. Chas. 
Il. Curry as host and hostesses. It 
will be recalled that the Estabrook- 
Curry wedding took place in Mag- 
nolia several seasons ago. 
Another notable wedding on April 
21, is that of Miss Pauline Dilworth, 
close friend of Miss Helen Frick, 
and George D. Edwards at the Dil- 
worth residence, Fifth avenue, N. Y. 
Members of the Dilworth family 
were entertained last season by 
Judge W. H. Moore at Pride’s 
Crossing,

That the German embassy are re- 
turning to the North Shore again 
this season is decided, from reports 
of the wedding, March 30, of the 
young German diplomat, Ferdinand 
Von Stumm, and Miss Constance 
Hoyt, daughter of the counsellor of 
the state department, solemnized at 
St. John’s church, by Rev. Roland 
Cotton Smith, the latter a well 
known summer resident of Ipswich. 
This international wedding was wit- 
nessed by President Taft, Counsel- 
lor Hoyt being his personal friend 
and classmate at Yale, as well as 
many other of the North Shore’s dis- 
tinguished -summer residents. Mr. 
Stumm and his bride are passing the 
early days of their honeymoon out- 
side of Washington. They will join 
the embassy on the North Shore for 
the summer. They expect to go 
abroad in July and doubtless will 
visit Germany and the Baron and 
Baroness Von Stumm, the bride- 
groom’s parents, who have a hand- 
some estate on the Rhine. The wed- 
ding was of much interest to Phil- 
adelphians, as the bride is a native 
of that city and a granddaughter of 
the late Henry M. Hoyt, once gov- 
ernor of Pennsylvania. Frau Von 
Stumm, the bride, has resided in 
Washington the past ten years. 
Mrs. John M. Bonnell and Miss 
Caroline. Bonnell of Youngstown, 
well known annual guests at the 
Oceanside, Magnolia, are enjoying a 
spring sojourn in Washington, D. C. 
The marriage of Miss Alice Blech, 
who for the past year served as pri- 
vate secretary to Mrs. Taft, and 
Lieut. Richard Wainwright, jr., U. 
S. N., son of Rear Admiral and Mrs. 
Wainwright, will be solemnized in 
St. John’s church, Washington, 
April 26. Rear-Admiral Wainwright 
and family have summered at the 
North Shore, at Hawthorne Inn, East 
Gloucester, and it will be recalled 
that the Rear Admiral commanded 
the gunboat ‘‘Gloucester’’ during 
the Spanish-American war and Glou- 
cester had the privilege of welecom- 
ing him on the gunboat in her har- 
bor at the close of the controversy. 
Miss Blech was born in Ohio, and 
her father, the late Paul S. Blech, 
had served in the U. S. consular 
service. 
The Daniel Wentzes of Philadel- 
phia will occupy the John L. Gard-
