he is receiving congratulations from
the drivers of motors out for pleas
ant drive that the road hogs as
truck and bus drivers are habitualiy
dubbed in New York and New Jersey,
and perhaps in other parts or the
country have taken the lesson to
heart, and it is now possible for man
to take his family for spin without
danger to the machine and the people
in it. Mr.. Dill like many others,
would like the State to provide back
roads for freight busses and trucks
and keep the boulevards for light
traffic only. 1t may be that in a few
years New York and New Jersey will
enforce their ideas and separate ways
be provided for unusually wide and
dangerous vehicles.
Mrs I.arz Anderson. who has many
claims to distinction, to the great
pleasure of thousands. has permitted
her family history of the Yields and
the Perkinses and their achievements
in the clipper ship history to be
placed on the open market. There is
fine, salty flavor to these annalS OF
the Black Horse flag. the emblem of
the Yields, who in the early years
sailed the seven seas in their trim
little sailing vessels, going out from
Boston harbor. The sea tradition of
her forbears has always made spe-
cial appeal to. Mrs Anderson, who is
the daughter of the late Commodore
George Perkins. L. s. n, and the
granada aughter of Commodore Isaac
WeM of the old merchant marine.
Her childs story, The Great Sea
Horse" was an embodiment of legends
familiar to all youngsters in Seafar-
ing families. She followed this pretty
fairy tale by a series of Capt. Ginger
tales, and these she has most gener-
ously distributed in country communi-
ties and in rural libraries. The sea
mems home which Mrs. Anderson
founded and largely supports in South
Boston in memory of her father and
grandfather is one of the unique i'll
StitutiOnS Of it's kind, and she devOteS
almost as much Of her time to the
comfort and recreation of retired and
disabled sailors as she does to her
wonderful estate at Weld, in Brook
line, Boston. where she entertains
companies of working girls through
out the Summer. Mrs. Anderson
wears many decorations as the result
of her war work, one of the most
priced being gold medal presented
by Queen Elizabeth of Belgium for
mittee and her active work with the
Red Cross on the fields of Flanders.
Mr.. Samuel Parrish has been giving
a series of open air concerts in his
extensive grounds in Southampton. re
tanning the services of the best avail
able OrcheStraS from Brooklyn and
New York City. These concerts last
about hours and are followed by al
freSco refreshment for musicians and
guests, and since July have been
given twice a week. Mr. Parrish who
is one of the public spirited citizens
Of Southampton. invites n company
which can be easily accommodated on
his lawn and veranda. and he selects
the deniZenS of the neighborhoOd as
well as the Summer colony. and he
has found that these concerts are
deemed the greatest treat he could de-
wise and far more appreciated than
the conventional picnic or garden
party. In inviting permanent dwell
crS of the region and some OF humble
avocation Mr.. Parrish has set an eN-
cellent example on Long Island. where
a certain degree of eNcluSiveness has
been manifest. Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur
James CurtisS showed the same
broad and liberal spirit in many of
their recent entertainments in New
port not only the fashionables of the
resort figuring at the fetes. but the
residents whom Mrs Curtis has
known during her many years so.

small islands nearby. Mr.. Parrish in

open until the dispersal Of the cot
tagers for their winter quarters.
