B* FAR the most important of the holiday social func- 
tions on the North Shore, and the largest gather- 
ing of the season was occasioned by the dance given on 
the evening of July Fourth by Amos A. Lawrence at his 
beautiful new estate at Beaver Pond, North Beverly. 
It was a sort of house warming by Mr. Lawrence 
to give his friends an opportunity of seeing his attractive 
new place. Fully 500 attended the party, which started 
about six and kept up until three in the morning. Three 
bands furnished music during the evening and there was 
a wonderful display of fireworks. Beautifully located in 
the woods, and within a short distance of Beaver Pond, 
a pretty sheet of water, the estate lent itself admirably 
for such an al fresco affair. Japanese lanterns marked 
out the winding avenue and the paths about the estate, 
and the grounds about the house were ablaze with elec- 
tric lights. A running buffet was served all evening. 
For the dancing a special pavilion was erected, and there 
was dancing also in the house. At times throughout 
the evening the whole pond was framed in an outline of 
Roman candles. Guests came from all parts of the North 
Shore. The event was as enjoyable as it was unique in 
its setting and complete in the variety of its offering. 
Mr. Lawrence (who is a bachelor) proved himself a 
royal good host. 
“Elsinae,’ the home of Mr. and Mrs. William 
Hooper at West Manchester, is closed for several weeks. 
Mr. and Mrs. Hooper are making their annual visit to 
Dark Harbor, Maine.
