Huge Home Is Boast of New Jersey

Shadow Lawn Contains 100 Rooms; Theater Among Features. BY HELEN WORDEN Time* SOfflil WHtfr NEW YORK. N. Y, May 3 Shadow Lawn, the West End <N. j.) estate spot-lighted during Woodrow Wilson's administration as the summer White House, shines in all of its old-time glory. The present owners, Mr. and Mrs. Hubert T Parson, <he is former president of the Woolworth 5 and 10 cent storesi, will sail early in May for England. Asa farewell gesture, they invited 150 friends to see the glory of the tapestry-hung drawing room, marvel at the magnificence of the indoor swimming pool, gasp over the private motion picture theater and run out of adjectives as they toured the conservatories. Shadow Lawn is Hubert TcmDleton Parson’s hobby. He has made :t the most completely equipped summer estate in the country. You'll hnd as mai y gadgets about the place as you would run across in all the 5 and 10 cent stores put together, with this exception—the conveniences at Shadow Lawn did not come at 5 and 10 cent store prices. The star’s dressing room which adjoins the moving picture theater, would meet the demand of a Barrymore or a Hepburn. The electrically outfitted sewing room that is a portion of the solarium, would make Bergdorf Goodman or Hattie Carnegie green with envy. The electric pipe organ in the main hail is de.dgred on the same elaborate scale. The paneled mirrors that line i the walls of the swimming pool are plated in gold and from the ter- | raced roof gardens, expensive high- 1 powered telescopes focus on passing ships. Even the hothouse flowers arc on the superlative side. The chrysanthemums I wish you'd make note that, these chrysanthemums are j blooming in the spring instead of autuinm carried off first prize at the annual flower show and the Calcaria which decorated the rooms, bloom only in the Parsons’ con- i servatory. It is one of the rarest j of hothouse plants. The Parsons raise it in all colors. Former House Burned The late Myron Henry Osborne, who died early this year, was the first owner of Shadow Lawn, and it was he who turned Shadow Lawn over to Woodrow Wilson for tiie summer White House. This house burned. The present home is the Parsons’ idea. The I gardens, the and the ( feudal magnificence of the estate are lamous tne length of the Jersey coast. They say there are 100 rooms in the main house. Mr. and Mrs. Parson have no children. Her sister, Miss Bt rtha Dasque, is usually with them. And until her marriage, Mrs. Parson's niece. Miss Maysie Dasque, also lived with the Parsons. Maysie husband is John Poland Robinson, Great Britain's youngest member of Parliament. It is for the christening of the Robinsons’ liule boy, Richard Henry Anthony Robinson, that Mr. and Mrs. Parson will go to Europe. The j christening will take place the middle of May in the chapel at the House of Parliament. Mr. and Mrs. Robinson live in London. He is M. P. from Hampstead. the historic suburb of London i just beyond Camden Town, where 1 David Copperfleld stayed. Hampstead is also famous for the Spanish inn-highwayman. Dick Tur- j phi s haunt.

Motor Trip Arranged After Richard Henry Anthonv Robinson is christened, Mr. and Mrs. Hubert Templeton Parson will leave for a motor trip through England, Ireland. Scotland and Wales. The Parsons’ final destination is Paris, where they have a home in the Bois de Bologne done on the same gorgeous theme as Shadow Lawn. Magnificent as the New Jersey estate is. however, the place can't hold a candle to the Parsons’ town house at 1071 Fifth-av. Here, the same minutely worked out electrical equipment prevails, even to a re-mote-controlled radio system which smacks of robot perfection. Mr. and Mrs. Parson are former Brooklyn residents. In 1892. he began life as an accountant for the Woolworth stores. And. though a Baptist, Republican and member of the Hardware Club, has a keen sense of fun and good humor. "Money has not spoiled the Parsons,” their friends say. Bridal Shower Set Miss Isabelle Boggs will entertain with a shower tomorrow night in honor of her sister. Miss Mary Lee Boggs, daughter of Mr. and" Mrs. William A. Boggs, who will be married to Robert Robbins tomorrow afternoon at the home of the Rev. Aubrey Moore, pastor of the Seventh Christian Church. Mr. Robbins is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Robbins.
