SwampscorTr. This has certainly been the gayest 
season ever, and the numerous events at the New 
Ocean House and the Tedesco club, are keeping Swamp- 
seott’s “400” very busy. This year the younger set seem 
to have it all their way, and with tennis, bathing, boating, 
motoring and dancing—especially dancing—the daily cal- 
endar of gayety is hard to keep up with. Polo, of course, 
is very popular, and quite a number of New Ocean House 
guests have taken in the games at Myopia this season. 
Bridge whist still holds its own and there are several 
bridge parties slated for the present week in the tea room, 
and with luncheon, dinner and numerous other events, 
concluding with the Third Formal Ball on Saturday night, 
this week will certainly be a gay one to the last minute. 
Much pleasing comment is heard around the foyer 
of the New Ocean House at the courtesy extended guests 
by the Tedesco club this year. While, of course, the club 
is as exclusive as ever, still the genial hospitality extend- 
ed to the summer colony—cottagers and hotel guests— 
outside the regular membership, is very gratifying. 
Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Phelan motored over to Narra- 
gansett for the week-end, returning to the New Ocean 
House on Monday. Mrs. Phelan, whose wedding in the 
‘spring was a real event, was Miss Mabel Josephine Mc- 
Gaffee of Jamaica Plain. She is one of the most promi- 
nent in the younger set of the house, where her beautiful 
frocks have caused no end of attention. Both Mr. and 
Mrs. Phelan are entertaining a great deal at the New

later in the season to meet Mr. Hamilton who is expected 
home from Europe, where he was suddenly called early 
in the season on business. The Hamiltons make their 
home in the winter at the Hotel Empire, Commonwealth

Quite a pleasing innovation at the Sunday evening 
orchestral concert was the singing of “America” by the 
audience, led by the orchestra. The words were printed 
on the program, and there was a very general response 
to the invitation to sing the famous old hymn. ‘The or- 
chestra under the direction of Mr. F. L. Mahn, of the 
Symphony, is gaining in popuarity every day, for it is 
the best ever heard at this resort. An especially fine pro- 
gram was rendered last Sunday night before an audience 
which fairly crowded the music room and piazzas.
