The height of the season to you! 
Dog days, to be sure, yet society 
like time and tide does not wait. 
Tennis, golf, yacht racing, dinners, 
luncheons and functions galore are on 
the bill of fare for next week. 
Trolley rides are the fad for many 
North Shore people just at present. 
Read the ‘trolley tours’ in the 
BREEZE if you would know where to 
go and what to see. 
We note the tax rate in Gloucester 
this year is $18.80. More than twice 
that of Manchester ; the valuation is 
$21,192,373. Yet the little town of 
Manchester, not near as large as 
Gloucester in area, population or in 
business interests has a valuation of 
$10,137,351 — almost. equal to half 
that of the Fish city with all its 
suburbs. 
“The automobilists are proving 
themselves to be the most reliable 
road inspectors. Every rut in the 
highway seems to jog their memory 
that it needs fixing.”’—Boston Herald. 
Yes, indeed, every rut does seem to 
jog their memory but it does not seem 
to. jog it to sucha degree that they 
care to limit their speed within the 
bounds set by law. But, speaking of 
jogging their memory, Chief Peabody 
seems to be doing some very consis- 
tent work along this line at Manches- 
ter just at present. 
Old Home Week has come and gone 
in most of the Massachusetts towns. 
Beverly this year has not been able to 
awaken sufficient enthusiasm. And 
yet it would seem as if Beverly with 
its long and eventful history, its old 
family traditions, its clinging to old 
ties, old customs, and its seclusion 
from outside strife and turmoil, would 
be the place of all places where Old 
Home week would be observed —a 
week that unites the past and present, 
yesterday and to-day, bringing back 
to the old home those who have wan- 
dered away in the search for wealth or 
name, or in the struggle for existence.

country offer attractions that cannot 
be found in any other place. 
The drive along the shore from 
Beverly to Gloucester is one of the 
most picturesque to be found any 
where in the land. The beauties of 
the coast as the road winds in and out 
following the indentations of the sea 
are spread out before the eye in a 
beautiful panorama. The beauties of 
the country, of the fields and woods, 
while just as bountiful here, and 
though adding as much to the fame of 
the North Shore, cannot be seen to 
such good purpose by the traveller on 
any of the drives on the North Shore. 
New drives are being opened up con- 
tinually through beautiful spots, but 
woodland drives are still in a minority. 
Let us see more beautiful roadways 
built through the trees and over the 
hills, and do not let the country at- 
tractions be crowded out by those of 
the shore. Let our development be 
well rounded out in every direction. 
There are many good opportunities 
for drives back through the country 
from Manchester and Beverly Farms 
to nearby lakes and ponds, and it is 
understood that steps are being taken 
to this end. As yet, however, there 
has been nothing definite done. 
TROLLEY TOURS. 
No. 3—Beverly and Salem to Lowell, 
BY CHESTER F. STILES. 
The trolley traveller to Lowell will 
seek his car at the Salem office, in 
Town House square. The cars run 
hourly to North Saugus (fare 10 cents) 
by the way of Peabody, leaving Salem 
at 15 minutes before the hour. The 
journey from Salem to Peabody is to 
most people a familiar one. Leaving 
Peabody, we pass the morocco facto- 
ries and wind through the rear of 
Peabody towards Lynnfield. 
A pleasant side trip in Peabody is a 
visit to the Peabody boulder bed, 
where one may see one of the hugest 
of glacial deposits known to geologists. 
Passing the Vaughn Machine Works, 
we approach Lynnfield. Here we 
intercept the Newburyport turnpike, 
over which rumbled in the past the 
stage coaches connecting Boston with 
the north. 
Suntaug Lake is one of the attrac- 
tions of Lynnfield. This is reached 
from a point near the Lynnfield hotel 
by a short cross road. We next skirt 
one of the long reservoirs of the Lynn 
water works, and draw up in front of 
the school house in North Saugus. 
The passenger from Lynn _ will 
board a Reading car in Central 
Square, Lynn. This is a half-hourly 
car, and usually connects directly 
with the Salem car, The Salem pas- 
senger will board this car at North 
Saugus. 
On the left will be noted the old 
mill, with its picturesque mill pond 
and broken-down dam. This is a 
favorite refuge of the amateur photog- 
rapher, who finds much worthy of his 
attention here. 
Wakefield and its busy little street 
comes next. Just before we cross the 
railroad, the tourist will note the large 
factory of the Heywood Co., noted 
for their rattan chairs. Also worthy 
of attention are the Common and 
soldiers’ monument, just before we 
come to the lake. 
The body of water is Lake Quan-
