THE PINEHURST OUTLOOK
THE VILLAGE GOSSIP
THE CAROLINA
A life on the ocean wave moderately
wavy is now my delight. I have desert
el all else for the river. There are sixty
tons of mistletoe hanging in reach of a
paddle, which I am gathering though
a lot of good it will do me when I get
it. I am not the only one. The new
club house and camp at Blue's Bridge
is in full commission, and serves lunches
and dinners and teas and anything you
want except Mum's extra dry. It was
officially christened a little , while ago by
a genial company from hereabout who
understand how to make a party. They
went down in motors about sundown and
had a dinner out under the pines and the
stars to the light of a roaring fire,
whence comes the inspiration for narra
tive and four part harmony. These were
Dr. and Mrs. Mudgett from Southern
Tinea, Mr. and Mrs. Jay Hall and Mr.
and Mrs. Johnson, their guests, Mrs.
J. G. Splane, Mr. and Mrs. Harry G.
"Waring and Miss Bogart and Howard
Phillips of Pinehurst.
rians are already in progress for the
field trials for bird dogs, and the local
champions are being run over the Garran
Hill route where the birds are in evi
dence a plenty. We found seven covies
within half a mile of the Pinehurst
orchard the other day. Meantime a num
ber of the devotees of the shotgun have
deserted us for a few days and gone
ducking on the Eastern shore. I have
a letter from E. D. McCabe saying that
lie has found a shooting wilderness pre
sided over by one genius named Bill
Gaskill among the lagoons of the Old
Xorth State. And B. V. Covert, the
famous trap-shot of Lockport, "who is
always a leading figure in the Pinehurst
contests, has taken Jay Hall off to take
a crack at the water fowl at the Back
Bay Ducking Club near Norfolk. . It
will be a crack-shot sotie. For they are
to be joined by Charles Billings and
Charley Newcomb, both of whom have
demonstrated their infallibility with the
fowling piece in the big shoot.
Weddings of interest to the village
open about Christmas time. Miss El
eanor Abbe, the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. F. C. Abbe, is to be married to
Boyd Morrow, an instructor in the Gil
man School of Roland Park, Maryland.
Miss Abbe has always been a leader in
the younger set and in the sports and
entertainments of the colony and will be
lioartily missed.
Being a festive week, the arrival of
the rear guard of the cottagers heralds
also the arrival of so manv separate hol-M.v-
pirties. Mr. and Mrs. George J.
Jenks Lave opened the White Shingles,
'"id are entertaining a number of
friends. Jerry and Miss Judith re
Wh on hand. Mrs. Clad Hamilton, Mrs.
Jenks' sister, and Master Larry Ham
ilton are spending the winter with them
during the overseas duty of Colonel
Hamilton with the army of occupation.
Ueutenant Thomas Whitehead, of De
troit, will be there during his holiday
leave, and Miss Sally Hamilton is ex
pected to join the celebration within a
few days.
During the intervals between his for
ays with the driver and the racquet,
John W. Watson has been arranging
for the building of Mrs. T. T. Watson's,
his mother's, new house on Carolina
Vista, next to Mrs. Andrews' " Little
House. ' ' Last year, you remember, Mrs.
Watson occupied Commodore Newton's
La Cassita. This year Mr. and Mrs.
Doran, the publishers, have had it to
date. We regret to say that they are
compelled to return to New York. But
they are expected back before the end
of the season,' and we count on them as a
permanent institution in the colony.
The best news of the week is the
coming of Commodore and Mrs. New
ton. At the outbreak of the war the
Commodore was called back to the col
ors and has been in active service. The
Hun is beaten, his work accomplished,
and he is safe back with us once more,
and will shortly move into his old home
from the Pinecrest Inn.
These are by no means the only cele
brations. We celebrate the advent of
Mr. and Mrs. L. D. Pierce in the Maple
and most particularly the first visit
to Pinehurst or anywhere else of
Master Thomas McGraw Pierce
The signs of life about the Log Cabin
always mark an event in the Pinehurst
calendar. Mr. and Mrs. John C. Spring,
of Boston, are back in their ancient
headquarters. And every morning a fel
low is greeted by another friend rolling
in. Here come Mr. and Mrs. George A.
Magoon, from Pittsburg, Mr. and Mrs.
C. L. Bausher,Mrs. J. F. Reynolds and
Mrs. Harry Bausher, and Mr. and
Mrs. David Johnson and Mr. and
Mrs. Arthur Johnson, who are spending
the winter in the Mistletoe; Mr. and
Mrs. John List Crawford, newcomers,
and hence all the more welcome, living
in Mrs. Spencer Waters' Cotton Cottage,
and Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Squier, of Rail
way, New Jersey, who this year take
the place of the O. C. Hoyts in the Box.
We are glad to see the Squiers. But
there is a large company that , lament
the lack of the old familiar faces in the
Box. Hoyt has gone to South America
probably seeking his due proportion of
that vast trade the barbarians threAV
overboard when they started something.
There is one funny thing I notice
about this place. It takes about a month
for the gathering company to discover
that there .is a wild and beautiful nd
interesting country herqabouti When
they do rediscover it every year they
take to the woods and the river margins
in brigades a-horseback. By New Years
the bridle paths are full of them. This
year, as nsual, the vanguard consisted
of the youngster of whom I met a full
platoon, more or less, galloping down
the Linden Road yesterday.
Of course, parties of which we never
hear are all the time visiting their
friends on the plantations. Mr and
Mrs. Robert Herrick spent last Sunday
at Overhills, the preserve of Percy
Rockefeller Macy and the Aliens
