NORTH SHORE BREEZE and Reminder 
"MID myriads of gay and brilliant lights, danced a large 
— throng of people, who attended the annual costume 
ball at the Oceanside, Magnolia, on Saturday evening. It 
was the biggest event of the whole social season at Mag- 
nolia and surpassed any previous ball given at the hotel. 
The “dress” ball has long been the happy climax of the 
summer season at the hotel, and its coming was prepared 
for by the guests in happy anticipation, selecting their 
costumes and reaching the mighty decision of what they 
would represent, after much deliberation. 
The large dining-room where the merry revelers 
danced was decorated with streamers of red and white 
bunting with a generous display of American flags at 
brief intervals about the walls and chandeliers. Promptly 
at nine o’clock the hotel orchestra, which was stationed in 
the centre alcove, struck up a selection and the young 
people in single file dressed in costume came through the 
main door of the ball room, lead by Charles Wadsworth, 
3rd, in all the happiness of the sailor, followed by Miss 
Alice Richard in a very attractive costume representing 
a nurse. Miss Evangeline Beane, the dancing teacher 
conducted the dance, gowned in a sea-foam creation of 
nile green and silver. One of the most unique “‘get-ups”’ 
was that of Master Farnum Johnston of Detroit, who. was 
a very fine “Frenchman” with monocle and_ inevitable 
walking stick. 
There were a number of Pierrot representatives in 
all the combinations of the black and white. Miss Isa- 
bella Wadsworth was a very attractive Pierrot, her cos- 
tume somewhat changed by a Pocahantus feather at the 
forehead. Miss Dorothy Koehler was a very pretty Span- 
ish girl in garb of black with yellow scarf. Winthrop 
Lockwood was a “regulation” sailor, while Chester Lock- 
wood came as Pierrot in sombre black. Miss Helen Hussey 
made up as a “farmer boy,” perfectly, and was very good. 
Miss Rosemonde Wyman and Miss George Solari were 
Turkish girls. Miss Ethel Morse as Peter Pan was very 
charming. Little Suzanne Anderson was a balloon girl 
with her wares of vari-sized and vari-colored balloons 
afloat about her. Miss Elvine Richard made a very fine 
French artist in garments of black velvet and flowing 
black tie. Miss Jean Middleton was a very sweet little 
girl of about ten with a pink ginham frock, pink bow, 
and her pet doll. Miss Adelaide Brainard was a black 
and white satin Pierrot, while Frances was very alluring 
and pretty as a Quaker girl. George Robinson was a 
gay Hussar in uniform of blue and gold with gold cape 
suspended from shoulders. 
Since costumes were from choice, a number did not 
choose them, but rather came in very stunning evening 
clothes. 
Master Ira Brainard the young son of Mr. and Mrs. 
E. H. Brainard has returned to the Oceanside to join his 
parents after a few weeks’ visit at Asquam Lake, Ash- 
land, N. H., where he was at “Camp Aloha.” 
Mr. and Mrs. George R. Peabody, with children and 
governess, of Troy, N. Y., are registered at the Oceanside 
for a short stay.

and Miss G. Bryan and maid of New York are occupying

spending the season at the Oceanside.

and Mrs. George Barnard of Ipswich at luncheon on
