NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
15 
MANCHESTER-BY-THE-SEA. 
Many people regard this season of 
‘the year as the best and the prettiest 
of the year on the North Shore. The 
beautiful coloring of the trees and the 
picturesque setting of wooded hills 
make the shore an alluring spot for 
the lover of the beautiful and attracts 
many here to spend the season-end. 
While the mountains usually call 
many from the shore at this time, 
there are many who will undoubtedly 
return to remain a month or six weeks 
longer. 
During the past week there has 
been very little of general interest in 
society circles here. There has been 
the usual number of small parties, 
dinners and luncheons. But there 
has been no function of a general 
interest. Several of the families have 
closed their houses and gone to the 
Berkshires or to the White Mountains, 
but hardly any of the regular cottagers 
have gone thus far. 
Next week the lull will be broken, 
and there will undoubtedly be many 
here for the golf championship match 
at the County club, while the -first 
week in October, when the matches 
are on, there wil! be a big influx of 
visitors, and society ought to be quite 
gay. 
Mr. and Mrs. Eben D. Jordan and 
Miss Dorothy Jordan started Thurs- 
day morning by auto for a trip to the 
White Mountains, where they are 
stopping for a few days at Glen. Mr. 
Jordan will attempt an auto climb up 
Mt. Washington. The Jordans will 
close their place here the first week 
in October. 
The S. H. Fessendens have closed 
their Coolidge Point piace and left 
here Tuesday for their winter home 
in Chestnut Hill. 
Mr. and Mrs. Francis R. Spaulding 
and two children, who have spent the 
summer abroad, arrived in Boston on 
the Ivernia, Thursday. Mr.and Mrs. 
Spaulding will probably come to Man- 
chester shortly for the winter. 
Mrs. Lucy Kean, who has been 
occupying the Prince estate at West 
Manchester this summer, left for her 
New Jersey home Thursday. 
The Domaines left Manchester Cove 
“this week, and have gone to their 
country home in Concord, Mass. 
Mr. and Mrs. Gerard Bement ar- 
rived in New York the latter part of 
last week from a summer spent in 
travel abroad. They are now stopping 
in Boston. 
Miss M. McNamara is at Manches- 
ter for the summer, and she is pre- 
pared to do shampooing, manicuring, 
and to do the marcel wave. Beach

ABUSE OF AUTO LAWS. 
N.S. A. Club Urges Its. Members to Observe 
Speed Laws. 
Ata meeting of the North Shore 
Automobile club, held at the home of 
the president, Walter D. Denegre, the 
first of the week, the question of the 
abuse of the automobile speed law 
was discussed and action was taken 
toward bringing about a proper ob- 
servance of the speed restrictions. 
A’ circular was sent out yesterday 
to every member of the club, calling 
attention to the action of the meeting, 
and urging the members to use thelr 
best influence to lessen the growing 
prejudice against the auto. 
It also urged the members to see 
that their machines are driven with 
regard to the feelings of other parties, 
and that care be taken when rounding 
corners or passing other vehicles. 
With the circular was sent a book 
containing the Massachusetts automo- 
bile registry numbers, and the co- 
operation of the members was asked 
through the agency of the book 
toward ascertaining the name of any 
offender and to report him to the 
president of the club. 
The action of the club is important 
in view of the fact that the police 
along the shore, and in fact all over 
the State, have been provoked to 
greater activity this summer in en- 
forcing auto laws because of the high 
speed maintained. 
The following officers were elected 
for the: year? “Walter D> Denegre; 
president; Ur Co.) sVdrkere vice 
president ; Q. A. Shaw, jr., treasurer ; 
C. C. Walker, secretary. The offi- 
cers, with Henry P. McKean, Arthur 
Silsbee and Frank Seabury, compose 
the executive committee.
