“VILLA-AL-MARE” 
The Summer Home of Mr. George Lee, at Beverly Farms, Mass. 
By MARY H. NORTHEND 
A DRIVE on a pleasant summer’s day along 
the north shore of Massachusetts Bay, from 
Beverly to Magnolia, discloses a veritable 
panorama of beautiful pictures to the eye of the appre¬ 
ciative beholder. 
Driving slowly along, one passes through a stretch 
of shady woodland, coming out upon a roadway, to 
the right ot which sparkle the blue waters of old 
ocean. Farther along, a precipitous crag looms up 
unexpectedly on the right, while to the left lie sunny 
meadows, bordered by shadowy pine trees. Still 
farther on is a prospect of sandy beach and grassy 
woodland, on one side, while on the other, the eye is 
attracted by gently sloping hills, covered with stately, 
wide-spreading old trees. 
Everywhere is seen this combination of sea and 
and, and everywhere, too, are to be found houses, 
/arying in type of architecture from the simple 
cottage to the pretentious mansion. They are, for 
the most part, ensconced in the heart of the woods, 
or erected on rocky headlands that border on the 
ocean, and are rarely plainly discernible from the 
roadside; a graveled driveway entrance, ornamented 
on either side by stone or granite gate posts, alone 
betraying their presence within. Glimpses of gables 
and towers, balconies and broad verandas are often 
obtainable from between the trees, and they give a 
hint of the beauties that lie hidden beyond. 
About a third of a mde beyond the Beverly Farms 
railroad station, one comes upon the crossroads, to
