THE MASCONOMO HOUSE, Manchester, continues 
to have a lively season with prospects of a filled house 
for the month of August. Nearly all of the guests regis- 
tered there thus far have found Manchester and its en- 
virons so delightful that they are extending their so- 
journs on the shore for a few weeks longer. Miss Char- 
lotte A. Read of Smith’s Point, Manchester, is to be hos- 
tess at a dinner party at the Masconomo next Monday 
evening. After dinner the guests will enjoy dancing in 
the Casino. Commander Burstyn, an attaché of the

summer. Guests for the month of August there include

Chase, her niece, Miss Elizabeth Kimball and nephew,

gregation of ball tossers of the New Ocean House, Swamp- 
scott, who play their second game against the Manchester

Shore in a day or two for Newport to attend Mrs. Stuy- 
vesant Fish’s ball. Miss May is the daughter of Col.

Leonard Thomas of whom a well known French artist

Mrs. Charles Wadsworth gave another of her popu- 
lar afternoon teas Tuesday at her summer home at Mag- 
nolia. Her teas, which are small informal affairs, are 
nevertheless highly enjoyable and have come to be one of 
the pleasantest social customs at Magnolia this season. 
The Wadsworths are Philadelphia people. 
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Pelham Curtis gave a young 
people’s party Monday night at their Pride’s Crossing 
cottage for their daughter, Miss Ellen Curtis. It was a 
‘fancy dress party and proved a most enjoyable occas- 
ion for the forty young people who attended. 
Mr. and Mrs. Edward Motley Weld and family of 
New York are on the North Shore for a visit with Mrs. 
Weld’s brother, Henry Parsons King and family at Pride’s 
Crossing. The Welds are spending the summer at Tuxedo 
Park, where they have rented the Collier cottage. Their 
three children are having a most joyous time on the shore, 
especially the older son, Lothrop, who will remain 
throughout the month. The other boy, Edward is eight 
years old, and the youngest of the family, Anne is a 
most charming little miss of three years. 
The Edwin Arthur Shumans who are contemplating 
a cruise to Newport in their yacht Hettie for the month
