HOUSE OF L0NGWORTH.
Is Expecting an Heir During the Sum-
mer, 1t Is Said.

Beverly, Mass, April 30.-A cottage
near that leased by President Taft IS
being prepared for occupancy by Con-
gresham and Mrs. Nicholas Long
worth. This property is owned by Mr..
Longworth's mother and is at Ningo
Beach. 1t has ten rooms, and is on
high ground along the shore.
Mr. and Mrs. Longworth are expect
ed to arrive early in the season. AL
though this will be the first season at
the Northshore for Mr.. and Mrs. Long
worth, it is not likely that their cottage
will be a social rendezvous, owing to
the condition of Mrs. Longworth's
health. It is rumored that they are
expecting an heir.
Recently, when Mr.. Longworth went
to Cincinnati. his wife did not accom-
pany him. AS soon as repairs can be
concluded at the cottage it is thought
likely that they will come here.
Mrs. Roosevelt probably will visit her
daughter during the early summer.
The Longworth cottage is but a short
distance from Woodbury. Point, where
President Taft's family Is expected to
arrive about June 5. Mrs. Joseph
