Where Summer Is Really Summer 
North Shore, the Ideal New England Coast Resort Section, Se- 
cluded From the War Hysteria, Offers Haven to Vacationist. 
RALPH P. YOUNG 
ITH the air filled with 
alarums of war and the 
nation preparing to take its 
place in the stupendous strug- 
gle for the overthrow of the 
Hohenzollern dynasty it is a 
relief for the city dweller to 
turn from the nervous bustle 
of the metropolis to the peace- 
sful quiet of. the seashore. 
And the hundreds of fre- 
quenters of the North Shore 
_will be guided in their selec- | 
‘tion of a summering place, as 
they have been in the past, 
by the myriad charms of this 
beautiful section. Its charming homes and magnificent 
hotels will teem with the bright life of summer society 
upon the seashore in perfect security from those troubles 
which may beset the less fortunate individuals who must 
remain in the great cities. 
Perhaps no part of the United States is so closely 
associated with its early history nor is so distinctively 
American in the characteristics of its landscape, traditions 
and population as is the North Shore—that famous sum- 
merland which throws its bulwark of rockbound coast 
against the cold Atlantic. 
! It is more than the historical associations connected 
with it, however, that has led hundreds of leading Amer- 
ican families to gravitate to the North Shore season 
after season, to build palatial residences and to develop 
beautiful landed estates. There is no other section of 
the country so ideally 
located as to combine 
the beauties of vir- 
ginal nature with the 
conveniences of mod- 
ern civilization. The 
North Shore stretches 
away to the north and 
east of populous and 
enterprising cities of 
New England, easy 
of access by rail or 
motor roads, but re- 
taining its primal na- 
tive beauties of land- 
seane and its rustic 
seculsion. 
One of the North 
Shore’s most boasted 
assets is its wealth of 
fine motor. roads, . 
linking its beautiful a 
shore line with the 
Seaplane in Marblehead Harbor 
Where the Submarine Chasers Seck Shelter 
cities of the inland and mak- 
ing possible its fullest enjoy- 
ment by tourist and summer 
sojourner. Leaving greater 
Boston’s jolting pavements 
and striking northward the 
motorist seeks the smooth, 
clean boulevard that skirts 
Boston Bay and instanter he 
is in view ot the southern 
outpost of the North Shore 
resorts—Nahant. Sheltered 
here and there by a bit of 
woodland or overlooking 
some rocky cliff may be found 
some of the typical North 
oie 
Shore summer residences. 
In Swampscott life in summer centers about the New 
Ocean House. This magnificent summer hotel with its 
big fireproof annex, open the year ’round, draws thou- 
sands to this section annually to enjoy its comforts and 
beautiful surroundings. One of the features of the 
Swampscott section is a wealth of splendid beaches and 
beautiful walks and drives. At Swampscott also is the 
famous Tedesco Golf club, which is one of the centers 
of social activity in this section in summer. 
‘Historic Old Marblehead 
Old Marblehead, with its tortuous, twisting labyrinth 
of streets, paths and lanes is not a joy to the motorist, but 
it is a wonderland for the lover of the antique, who will 
wander about on foot among the old houses and land- 
marks. Marblehead is in a class by itself and defies exact 
description. It re- 
tains, more thorough- 
ly than does any 
other old New Eng- 
land town, the charm 
of the ante-revolu- 
tionary period and 
abounds in traditions 
of its sea-faring and 
bellicose inhabitants. 
But Marblehead, in 
spite of its tumble- 
down dwellings. 
snakey lanes and 
paintless —_ buildings, 
does not belong en- 
tirely to the dead 
past. It bears the 
unrivalled distinction 
= 
of being the yachting 
center of America. 
Here are located the 
famous Corinthian
