NEW OCEAN HOUSE, Swampescorr, Mass. — The 
Children’s Costume party held last Wednesday after- 
noon in the Main Ball Room and the adjoining suites of 
the New Ocean House was one of the most attractive 
features of the social season for the younger set along 
the North Shore. More than 50 of the young guests of 
the New Ocean House and their friends from the cottage 
colony participated in the festivities of the afternoon. 
All were dressed in the most fanciful and original cos- 
tumes. Mrs. Edward R. Grabow was the hostess at the 
party and prizes distributed for attractive costumes were 
presented by Mrs. Henry E. Von Wedelstaedt of St. Paul 
and Mrs. George F. Baldwin of Chicago. The judges 
were Mrs. H. C. Jealous of Boston and Mrs. Henry E. 
Von Wedelstaedt of St. Paul, E. S. Randall of Boston 
and F. G. Carleton of Brookline. The musical program 
was under the direction of Frederick L. Mahn of the 
Boston Symphony. Orchestra. 
The prize for the most humorous girl’s costume, a 
gold vanity box, was awarded to Miss Ruth Martin and 
Master William Martin was given the prize for the most 
comical boy’s costume. His award was an attractive 
silver belt buckle. Both were dressed to represent South- 
ern plantation characters. The prize for the most original 
girl’s costume, a fancy bird cage, was awarded to Miss 
Majorie Evatt. She was dressed to represent Uncle Sam. 
Another prize for an original girl’s costume was given 
to Miss Nancy Boothby, dressed as a blue bird. Her gift 
was an old rose desk set. Master Randall Judd, dressed 
as a cowboy was awarded the prize for an attractive boy’s 
costume and Miss Katherine Schrafft in Turkish costume 
was given the girl’s prize in this award. Both received 
fitted toilet cases. Master James Murphy as a Colonial 
character was given the prize, a gold comb, for the most 
artistic boy’s costuve. To Robert Bennett was presented 
a baseball glove for another artistic boy’s costume. He 
was dressed to represent Pierrot. Wednesday’s party 
was by far the most successful gathering of the younger 
set held anywhere along the North Shore this season. 
The young ones throughly enjoyed every feature of the 
afternoon's entertainment, the moving pictures taken -of 
the party late in the afternoon figuring as no small factor 
of the day’s pleasure. With the conclusion of the Chil- 
dren’s parties and their gratifying success, the final ar- 
rangements are now being made for the costume party 
for the other guests of the hotel. With the increased num- 
ber of guests now being accommodated in the hotel and 
the quantities of reservations which have been made for 
this week-end, tonight’s affair should be the biggest social 
function of the season along this part of the Shore. Danc- 
ing will continue until early in the morning, this arrange- 
ment having been made at the request of a large number
