here this afternoon must have followed you here. 
Sept. 22, 1916. 
so very hungry the last time I was at the cabin were in- 
cluded in this list, but Mr. Walton assured us that they 
weren't. 
“You see,’ he explained blandly, “I don’t have any 
mosquitoes here. This is high ground and there is noth- 
ing to attract them.” 
We looked at the crushed and mutilated specimens 
about us on the cabin floor—and wondered. The hermit 
went on with his explanation. 
“Sometimes a few do get in here, but only when they 
follow a crowd of visitors to the cabin. These that are 
When 
you leave, | will kill the few that stay here and then I 
~won’t have any more trouble until another crowd of visi- 
tors brings another lot of mosquitoes.” 
He was busily doing just that when we left, and we 
felt sure he would soon finish the task, for we believed 
that we had brought the mosquitoes, quantities of them, 
with us. “They seemed to be everywhere.” 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE and Reminder 
Inu Memunriam 
Gal. 
‘TIS said, beyond the fields of thick-ribbed ice 
That guard the gateways of the Northern zone, 
There lies a fruitful region vast, unknown, 
Basking in fruitful green, ‘neath Summer skies. 
If this were truth indeed and not surmise, 
How would we brave the ice-king on his throne, 
Then would we come again unto our own 
Dear native land, our own lost Paradise. 
Lo! this a parable of life and death 
And the loved Aiden of our constant dream, 
When will it be that we shall enter there? 
Thou, Friend, what time we watched thy parting 
breath 
Didst break the rigors of the icy stream 
To breathe the fragrance of the heavenly air!

Weddings of the Week 
FIRST among the North Shore weddings planned for 
_ the fall season was that last Saturday of Miss Mar- 
garet Thomas and William Tudor Gardiner, at “Nether- 
field,” the summer estate at Pride’s Crossing of the bride’s 
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Washington B. Thomas (Caroline 
Wadleigh). The engagement of Miss Thomas to Mr. 
Gardiner was only recently announced. 
The marriage unites two families of far-reaching 
influence. Mr. Gardiner, who is a Harvard ’14 man, is 
the son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert H. Gardiner, of Beacon 
street, Boston, who have a country estate at Gardiner, 
Me., which is notable for its extent, its old-time mansion 
and its picturesque situation. 
“Netherfield” contains an unusually large and im- 
pressive music room, one end of which was converted into 
a temporary chapel where the ceremony was performed 
by Rev. Neilson Poe Carey, rector of St. John’s Epis- 
copal Church at Beverly Farms. Nuptial music, before 
the ceremony and incidental to the service, was played 
by a group of selected men from the Boston Symphony 
Orchestra. 
Miss Thomas was given in marriage by her father. 
Her wedding gown was of white satin brocade, made with 
a full court train and trimmed with rare lace and tulle, 
combined with small clusters of orange blossoms. The 
bridal veil of tulle was caught in place with orange blos- 
soms and a bridal bouquet of lilies of the’ valley and 
Eucharist lilies was carried. 
Two little nieces of the bride attended her. They 
were Helen and Anne Warren, daughters of Mr. and 
Mrs. Samuel D. Warren (Helen Thomas) of Essex. 
Both wore attractive frocks and hats and carried baskets 
filled with small pink roses and larkspur. 
Charles P. Curtis served as best man. ‘There were 
no ushers, as the reception was made as informal as pos- 
sible. It was al fresco in character, and the attractive 
grounds made an admirable setting for the occasion and 
for the wedding breakfast. The First Corps Cadet 
Band from Boston was stationed on the lawn to play for 
the festivity. Mr. Gardiner and his bride are to make 
their home at 25 Chestnut street, Boston. 
o & OS 
HE Weppine at Hamiron Tuesday of Miss Maria 
Dallas Agassiz and Cornelius Conway Felton, was by 
far the largest wedding of the year on the North Shore. 
The affair took place at one o’clock at “Homewood,” the 
summer residence here of the bride’s parents, Mr. and 
Mrs. Rodolphe Louis Agassiz, whose Boston residence is 
at 135 Commonwealth avenue. Mrs. Agassiz was before 
her marriage Miss Maria D. Scott. 
The bridegroom, Mr. Felton, is the son of Mr. and 
Mrs. Edgar Conway Feltof& (Alice Bent) of Haverford, 
Pa. He is a Harvard ’16 man and it is of intérest that 
his father was a Harvard graduate in 1879, while his 
grandfather, Samuel Morse Felton, was of the Harvard 
class of 1834. A great uncle, Cornelius Conway Felton, 
for whom the bridegroom was named, was of the Harvard 
class of 1827 and later, in 1860, he became president of 
Harvard.. He served two years and died in 1862. 
The engagement of Miss Agassiz to Mr. Felton was 
announced the middle of last December. She had made 
her debut two seasons previously at a ball given in her 
honor at the Copley-Plaza, Boston, by her uncle Maxi- 
millian Agassiz. It was one of the notable events of the 
social season of that winter. Miss Agassiz, who is a mem- 
ber of the Vincent club, has been known among her in- 
timates as Marie Agassiz. 
For her wedding, nearly three thousand invitations 
were sent out, far and wide, so extensive is the acquaint- 
ance of both families. Of this number only about two 
hundred of the more intimate friends were invited to the 
marriage ceremony, while the others were asked to the 
reception and breakfast which followed. The officiating 
clergyman was Rev.. John McGarry, D.C. L., rector of 
St. Cecilia’s church of Boston. 
The bride who was gowned in conventional white 
satin and lace, was given in marriage by her father. She 
had as her maid of honor a younger sister, Miss Anna 
Agassiz, who 1s to serve in the same role at the wedding 
of Miss Mary Seaver Williams and S. Dacre Bush, 2d, 
early in October, and a few days after that at the mar- 
riage of Miss Anne Dudley Williams to Samuel Mixter. 
There was a group also of eight intimate friends to 
attend Miss Agassiz, including Miss Margaret Lyman, 
Miss Edith Perkins, Miss Penelope Parkman, Miss Eliza- 
beth Coolidge, Miss Harriet Dexter, Miss Frances Pres- 
cott, Miss Nathalie Thayer and Mrs. Alexander Winsor, 
a recent bride who was before her marriage Miss Hope 
Jancroft. 
The bridegroom was attended by a brother, Samuel 
Morse Felton, 3d, as best man and the ushers were Ed- 
ward C. Felton, Jr., Winslow B. Felton, Ralph Earle, 
Bernard C. Law and Sewall Clark, all of Philadelphia;
