SOCIETY NOTES. 
THE Essex County club at Manchester has been quite 
the fashionable center of the holiday pleasure seekers 
on the North Shore, All of the rooms at the club have 
been engaged for the week and beds had to be improvised 
iu other rooms than chambers to take care of all. The 
weather has not been all that was hoped for. The skat- 
ing was good only one or two days. Mrs. B. A. Beals 
plans to have a small party of young people down: for 
the week-end and they will come over to the club for a 
little dance tonight.

Dr. J. H. Lancashire and family came over from 
New York to spend the holidays. They were at the Es- 
sex County club part of the time. Their outing was 
saddened somewhat by the sudden attack of appendicitis 
of their son-in-law, EK. Laurence White, who was suc- 
cesfully operated upon at his Beverly Farms home the 
first of the week.

cial line was the dance at the Hotel Pontchartrain 
given by Mr. and Mrs. Jerome H. Remick of Magnolia 
for their debutante daughter, Miss Katharine Remick. 
Miss Remick’s gown was of American beauty red taffeta 
‘and iridescent beads. Pine trees glittering with tinsel 
and crystal snow, and brilliant with flaming poinsettias, 
t gether with other Christmas greens, transformed the 
ballroom into a brilliant festive scene. Mr. and Mrs.

SOCIETY NOTES 
PluLal JRLPHIA society is making elaborate prepara- 
tions for the “Gambol of the Gods,” to be given Jan. 
12 in the ballroom of the Bellevue-Stratford, in aid of the 
School of Industrial Art. ‘The entertainment will be 10 
four parts, three of which have been made public by the 
managers. The first part will be a pageant of spring, and 
will be called “The Perpetuation of Spring on the 
Riviera.” The second part is, at present, a secret, but 
full announcement will be made before the affair takes 
place. The third part of the entertainment will be an 
extravaganza, “At Monte Carlo,” and the fourth part witl 
be the ball and supper which will follow. As a matter of 
fact, the ball will be in two parts, also. There will be 
general dancing in the ball room until 1 o’clock in the 
morning, and then the supper parties in the Clover Room 
will have a little dance of their own, which will probably 
end about 3 o’clock. Miss Corinne Freeman, a debutante 
of the Swampscott colony, will head a group of spring 
nymphs in the pageant. Mrs, Sydney EK. Hutchinson of 
Beverly arms will be among the singers.

Interest in the work of the Pennsylvania Women’s 
Pivision for Preparedness, which was launched last ‘Tues- 
day by Mrs. George W. Childs Drexel and other women 
prominent in the state, has been evidenced by offers re- 
ceived from several society leaders in this city who have 
pledged their homes for sick and suffering in the event of 
war or other great disaster. Mrs. Archibald J. Barklie 
has offered Inver House, a famous Main Line mansion, 
for the work, and is preparing a farmhouse on her estate 
for the occupancy of her household in the event of the 
louse being needed, Mrs Barklie will have thirty beds 
placed in Inver House, together with all surgical appli- 
ances, bandages and antiseptics. It was at Inver House 
where Mrs. ‘limothee Adamowski of Manchester was en- 
tertained at a dinner recently when she was visiting her 
sister, Mrs. Barklie Henry of the Beverly Farms colony. 
Among others in Philadelphia offering homes are Mrs. 
Alexander Van Rensselaer, Mrs. J. Gardner Cassatt and 
Mrs, William HH. Donner, who has offered to equip a 
motor ambulance.

Norman Prince—how that name does remind one of 
William the Conqueror—on the same continent with a 
fellow like George Sylvester Viereck—cruel and unusual 
punishment.’”—Boston Transcript.
