the past week, at the Essex County club. The an- 
nual tournaments in women’s handicap singles and mixed 
doubles started Monday and have continued throughout

THE LROL CONTE S ft atrthe Geemade. Magnolia, 
this afternoon is the most exciting affair for many 
a day. “Every one” has always known that “every one” 
loved to trot, but who would have suspected that every one 
wanted to know which one trotted the best. It is going 
to be very interesting to know. 
“Jimmie” Curtis is back to the North Shore again 
after passing the warm days of the summer thus far in 
Washington. His duties in connection with the Treasury 
Department were concluded with July, and he has joined 
his family at Manchester. They have the small cottage 
on the Curtis estate, “Sharkesmouth,” and will remain 
here during August and September. Mrs. Curtis’ parents, 
Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Merriam are coming to Manchester 
next week for a visit. 
Miss Mary Black Snyder, the very attractive young 
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William P. Snyder of Pitts- 
burg, who have a country place at Sewickley, Pa., is on the 
North Shore for a visit with Miss Lois McGinley at 
Smith’s Point, Manchester. Several delightful little in- 
formal functions are being given duirng Miss Snyder’s 
visit, one of which was a dinner of fourteen covers last 
Friday night at the Edward, the new hotel at Pigeon 
Cove, the party being chaperoned by Miss McGinley’s 
sister, Mrs. L. J. Knowles of the Ipswich colony.

Mrs. John Borden and two young daughters came on 
from Chicago last week to spend August with Mrs. Bor- 
den’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Breckinridge Waller 
at Coolidge Point, Manchester. The Bordens have a 
country home, “Snug Harbor,” at Lake Geneva, Wiscon- 
sin. Mr. Borden is on an exploring expedition in Alaska 
at present. 
Mr. and Mrs. James C. Barr have returned from a 
visit to New Ipswich, N. H., where Mr. Barr’s mother 
has a fine estate, and they have as their guest at Beverly 
Farms Mrs. Edward Abbé of Washington, D. C., who 
has been in Europe with Mrs. Linda Lee Thomas of New 
York and Newport. Mrs. Abbé will return to England 
this fall to visit her relative, Lord Morley.

Mrs. and Mrs. Paul Moore are coming on from New 
York very soon for a visit with Mr. Moore’s parents, 
Judge and Mrs. W. H. Moore at Pride’s Crossing and 
with Mrs. Moore’s family, the L. C. Hannas, who have 
the Carnegie house at Manchester Cove. Mr. and Mrs. 
Moore have taken a place this summer at Southampton, 
though they are now having built a most beautiful house 
at Morristown, where they plan to live most of the year, 
with the exception of a few weeks in mid-winter, when 
they will be in New York, and in mid-summer when 
they will be on the North Shore. They are to be here for 
Judge Moore’s private horse show on the 23rd, and they 
will come again later for a longer visit.
