Beautiful winter residence of Mrs. A, Craige Spring of Boston, Massk
An e7ent of much prominence and
interest to their many friends was the
wedding of Miss Esther Tufts to Mr.
Tracy H. Lewis, of New York, which
took place on October 16th at Keeway
diu, the summer home of the bride's
parents at Meredith, New Hampshire.
The bride is the only daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Leonard Tufts, owner of Pine
hurst, and is always a popular favorite
among all who know her. The groom
is the son of Mr. and Mrs. William
E. Lewis, of Great Neck, L. I. He is
associate editor of the New York Morn
ing Telegraph, of which his father is
the publisher, and is a Major on the
staff of Governor Smith of New York.
The wedding was a quiet home affair
and only the intimate friends of the
two families were present. The ceremony
was performed by the Eev. T. A. Cheat
ham, of Pinehurst, and Mr. Waldo Gross,
brother-in-law of the groom, acted as
best man. Messrs. Richard, James and
Albert Tufts, brothers of the bride, were
ushers.
The bride wore a simple dress of baro
net satin with an overskirt of old lace
trimmed with pearls, a tulle veil em
broidered with orange blossoms, and the
white open work silk stockings which were
worn by her mother and grandmother on
their wedding days.
Keewaydin, on high ground overlook
ing Lake Squam, was beautifully dec
orated with evergreens and autumn
leaves.
After a honeymoon trip of two weeks
on the coast of Long Island, Mr. and Mrs.
Lewis will reside at 122 Waverly Place,
New York, until their new house at Great
Neck is completed.
A number of newcomers who have
erected new cottages during the summer
will be welcomed into the Winter colony
at Pinehurst this season.
Included in this number is Mr. H.

has erected a handsome cottage adjoin
ing the Morganton, overlooking the valley
below the orchards on Garran Hill.
Mr. J. Ebb Weir, of Jamesport, L. I.,

hotels, and has built a beautiful little
cottage of the bungalow type, and with
Mrs. Weir will be early arrivals for the
winter.
After deserting Pinehurst for Cali
fornia last winter, Mr. and Mrs. Dickin
son Bishop decided they preferred the
sunshine of Pinehurst to that of Cali

cottage on Linden Eoad recently built
by Mr. S. B. Chapin. They are making
some extensive enlargements to the new
cottage and in the meantime are residing
at the Clover Leaf.
Mrs. J. F. Jordan, of Overhills, has
purchased Casa Yucca, the former resi
dence of Mr. and Mrs. Francis T. Keat

Pinehurst their winter home.
The unusually pretty Indian summer
which has prevailed in this section
thoughout the entire fall has attracted
a large number of the winter cottagers
to Pinehurst much earlier than formerly.
Mr. and Mrs. P. B. O 'Brien, with their
four lovely children, every one a Presi
dential prospect, arrived early in October.
Between sharpening up on his golf game

Mass., was an event of much promin

United States Naval Base at Arcadia,
Florida.
Facing Village Green adjacent to Dr.

an attractive addition to the already
pretty houses on that row.
Mr. N. S. Hawkins, Federal Managei

is much improved.
Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Tufts arrived
.immediately after the wedding. Albert,
