NEW SUMMER HOME OF A. LITHGOW DEVENS, MANCHESTER. 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
The completion of the new sum- 
mer cottage of Mr. and Mrs. A. Lith- 
eow Devens of Boston, in the section 
of Manchester, known since colonial 
days as ‘‘South Yarmouth,’’ marks 
the first of a number of new summer 
villas that will adorn. the Manches- 
ter hills, standing well back from 
the ocean. Work has goné on at the 
new house for months, and it is now 
about ready for occupancy. It is lo- 
eated off Forest street, overlooking 
the extreme eastern section. of the 
Essex County golf links, on one of 
the hills purchased by Philip Dexter 
several years ago. Mr. Dexter’s new 
summer home on an adjoining hill 
is just nearing completion. 
The house is of two and a half 
stories with hip roof, and with its 
ornamental arch treatment and plas- 
tered exterior it suggests the Span- 
ish type. The stucco finish is white, 
instead of the gray tone ordinarily 
found. The entrance hall is broad 
and extends through to the opposite 
side of the house. The stairs have 
been given space in a side hall, by 
themselves. 
In the main portion is a drawing 
room of great size and having a 
spacious alcove in which the fireplace 
has been made, suggestive of an 
inglenook. The windows open upon 
a little low baleony with curved 
balustrade. A smaller window treat- 
ment marks the dining-room, on the 
other side of the hall. These two 
rooms overlook a_ broad terrace 
where there are large shade trees, 
There is a well-planned den on this 
floor and in an ell the service de- 
partment has been placed, complete 
in its equipment and plan. 
On the second floor are several 
master bedroom suites, also single 
rooms and extra baths, a sewing 
room, ete., and servants rooms in the 
ell. — s 
The third floor is unfinished, ex- 
cept for a big trunk room. The north 
and south elevations show attractive 
entrances with doorways in keeping 
with the general fine appearance of 
the house. The various balconies jut- 
ting out lend their measure of inter- 
est to the whole plan. A _ latticed 
‘veranda reached from the drawing- 
room, will be a comfortable lounging 
place. Above it there is a loggia 
for sleeping, adjoining a chamber. 
The house has been built by Rob- 
erts & Hoare of Manchester, from 
plans drawn by Little & Browne of 
Boston. The mason and_ slapdash 
work was done by G. S. Sinnicks of 
Manchester, the painting by EH. A. 
Lane and the plumbing by R. Rob- 
ertson Co. 
Miss Marion Fenno and Miss

ciated with the best restaurants in

The cottage at Beverly Farms 
which Philip Dexter and family are 
to occupy again this summer is be- 
ing opened. 
Mr. and Mrs. Preston Gibson, who 
are to have the Frank Seabury cot- 
tage at Beverly Farms this season, 
gave a novel dinner and dance at 
their country place, Hampton Farm, 
outside Alexandria, Va., on 
Tuesday evening of last week. It 
was an Indian party in every detail. 
The guests went out in automobiles 
as the ‘‘pow-wow’’ began. The 
grounds were illuminated with lan- 
terns and the automobile drive was 
lined with signs that read ‘‘ Trail to 
Hampton Farm Wigwam.’’ Mr. and 
Mrs. Gibson obtained their costumes 
from Delaware Indians who are now 
in Washington. The guests ‘also 
wore Indian costumes. One of the 
surprises of the evening came when 
ten Indians of the Delaware tribe, 
garbed in native costume, gave an 
Indian war dance about a big bonfire 
which they built for the occasion. 
Among the guests were Mr. and Mrs. 
Larz Anderson, See. and Mrs. Von L. 
Meyer and the Misses Meyer and Mr. 
and Mrs. Clarence Moore.

gate of red Italian marble and onyx. 
Baron Rosen, the Russian ambas- 
sador to this country, with his wife 
and daughter, Baroness Elizabeth

chester, where the Russian legation 
had its summer quarters. The

plished young woman. She sings ex- 
cellently, is a fine linguist, a talented 
artist and she also swims and plays
