Mr. and Mrs. 
Howard G. Cushing of New York 
ciosed their Newport villa last Tuesday and have come 
-on to Pride’s Crossing to visit Mrs. Cushing’s parents, 
M1. and Mrs. Alexander Cochrane at their beautiful sum- 
The lovely garden and rich ter- 
down to the water’s edge, together with the unsurpassed 
view of the ocean from the veranda, make this one of the 
most delightful and attractive of the North Shore sum- 
mer homes. The terraced lawns facing the ocean are ad- 
mirably suited for dancing parties and over thirty years 
ago were the scene of many pleasant affairs. Such an 
affair had not been given on these fine terraces since 
until this summer when the higher one was chosen by 
the young grand-daughter, Miss Charlotte Loring, to be 
the scene of her informal debut, when Mrs. Cochrane 
gave one of the largest and most delightful receptions of 
the past summer. Miss Loring, who is the daughter of 
Mr. and Mrs. Lindsley Loring of Sunrise farm, West- 
wood, will make her formal debut this winter. The 
Cochranes have another interesting country home which 
tney visit frequently over in Hamilton.
