BROOKLYN LIFE 9 Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Poole of Brooklyn, who are at lovely summer home they recently built, are active members of the colony of cottagers on the hill and Mr. Poole's mother, Mrs. John Higginbotham of Chicago, has a summer home near by.

Mr. Pool is a golf enthusiast and following his daily work upon novel or magazine articles, he usually spends some time upon the links. The opening of the Mount Washington Hotel at Bretton Woods was Wednesday of last week. This is always a significant day in the Mountains, as it marks the real, formal opening of the season. Manager Charles J.

Root invited many members of the hotel organization for the opening dinner there Wednesday evening and all day a stream of automoblies poured into the Mountains, with the Mount Washington as their definite goal. Mr. and Mrs. A. McLaren, of Setauket, L.

were early arrivals, on their motor tour of the hills, and arriving for the season from Garden City were Mr. and Mrs. John Porter Shannon and Mrs. Florence Murray, who came up via New Canaan, where they spent the previous night. The coming annual White Mountains Tennis championship, also the New Hampshire State event, combine at the Crawford House, Crawford Notch, to make tennis history in the Mountains.

Last season the tournament committee were surprised and delighted at the appearance of several very prominent women tennis players, who forthwith demanded an event for themselves. This was hastily arranged and mixed doubles also enjoyed, and this year, the women have been invited to join in the tournament, which begins on July 19th and continues through the week. The West Side Tennis Club at Forest Hills will be well represented both by men and women, and among the well known Brooklyn Tennis stars will be Mr. and Mrs. J.

E. Bailey, who will be accompanied by several friends. Mr. and Mrs. Charles H.

Tompkins of Brooklyn are members of' the younger married set at The Waumbek, where they are dancing nightly in the ballroom and having supper in the grill later on. Mrs. William MacGaffey accompanied them to the Mountains. Mr. Nelson Post, 2nd, of the Bossert, who has spent several seasons at the Waumbek, is an early arrival there this year.

Mrs. Frank Shute, who with her son and daughter, Miss Ethel and Mr. Clifford Drake, has been at their cottage since early June, is enjoying the trout fishing here and has great luck knowing every trout hole in the adjacent streams.

Dick of New York and Long Island arrived during the week to enjoy the trout fishing, motoring here with Mr. E. T. Gregory to join Mr. and Mrs.
