NORTH SHORE BREEZE and Reminder 9 
The Cape Ann Resorts 
Busy Season in Store for the 
Gloucester and Rockport Shore 
CAPE ANN.—Everywhere along the shore we see here 
and there signs of life, with the opening of houses and 
arrival of cottages. The prolonged cool, damp weather 
interferred somewhat with earlier arrivals. With- 
out doubt, the season will be an active one, for houses 
have rented very readily, the most pretentious ones being 
taken weeks ago. It has been questioned whether the 
war would interefere greatly with our summer colony, 
but we can safely say that our people will not be endan- 
gered and business will go on unmolested. 
Mr. and Mrs. John Hays Hammond are expected to 
occupy their home at “Lookout Hill,” Fresh Water Cove, 
Gloucester, early in June. John Hays Hammond, Jr., 1s 
now at “Lookout Hill,’ often busy at his radio laboratory. . 
Mrs. Hammond, who has the.food conservation interests 
of our country at heart, has just offered a prize of $25 
for the Gloucester child who will raise the best vegetable 
garden. 
BASS ROCKS.—The family of Dr. William Jarvie of 
Montclair, N. J., pioneer summer resident of this sec- 
tion of the North Shore, arrived this week at “Craig- 
moor,” the beautiful Jarvie estate on the central heights 
at Bass Rocks. 
Dr. and Mrs. George P. Howe (Marion D. Endicott) 
have opened the Dr. O. T. Howe cottage, Souther and 
Brier roads, Bass Rocks. 
Walter McGuckin of New York City is with his 
sister this season at the McGuckin cottage, Haskell street, 
near the Bass Rocks golf links. 
Mrs. Edward B. Weston and family of Dayton, O., 
have arrived at the Weston estate, near Atlantic road, 
Bass Rocks. 
Mrs. Norman Day of Baltimore, Md., who last sea- 
son occupied the cottage of Mrs. H. J. Smith on Atlantic 
road, Bass Rocks, will spend this season at Blue Hill, Me. 
Mr. and Mrs. Smoot of Alexandria, Va., will have the 
Smith cottage. 
EASTERN POINT.—News has been received here of 
the death of Mrs. Hannah Cassel Mills, wife of Gen. 
Anson Mills, at her home, 2 Dupont circle, N. W., Wash- 
ington, D. C., on Monday of this week. The Mills fam- 
ily has been spending summers at East Gloucester for 
many years and “Bayberry Ledge,” the attractive Mills 
estate had its shutters removed several days ago and the 
house was being prepared for the annual arrival of its 
owners. The removal of Mrs. Mills from the colony will 
be a keenly felt loss. 
The servants of the John Clay family of Chicago, 
have arrived at “Finisterre,” the Clay estate, Eastern 
Point, near the lighthouse, to prepare the house for the 
early arrival of the Clays. 
The John H. Procters of Brookline have arrived at 
their Eastern Point house for the season. The house has 
had many radical changes, affording greater conveniences 
and comfort for the family in this delightful spot of the 
colony. 
Mr. and Mrs. Langdon Gillet of New York City have 
arrived at their cottage on Grape Vine road for the sea- 
son, 
Miss Eleanor Ware Pearson of New York City is at 
the Harbor View for the season and she has opened her 
studio in East Gloucester, 
A large purchase of real estate at Eastern Point, near 
Brace’s Cove, was made a short time ago, from the East- 
ern Point company, John B. Thomas, broker, when John 
W. Prentiss of New York bought 24 acres of attractive 
ground. Mr. Prentiss, who is an annual summer resident 
of the Eastern Point colony, contemplates having a large 
house erected on his newly acquired property. 
The new cottage for W. Jay Little, situated at Grape 
Vine road, near the Loose estate, has been completed, 
while the two new houses on Grape Vine road are receiv- 
ing interior furnishings. All houses are of unusual and 
attractive lines. Harry M. Boutell of Gloucester is the 
contractor. 
Mr. and Mrs. Philip M. Tucker of 163 Dean road, 
Brookline, are coming to the North Shore about the 17th 
of June and will occupy “Overlook” at Eastern Point, 
Gloucester for the summer. 
HE, tradition of the American flag, that its stars and 
bars image the sky, has given to patriotism a picture 
big with inspiration. There could be nothing little in a 
loyalty that chose a symbol so vast, so inclusive in its 
form and significance. The vastness of the United States, 
the volume and complexity of its population, have given 
a splendor to this symbol that has enlarged and glorified 
the elemental power of the flag as a national sign. And, 
so, throughout all the conflicts of sentiment and judg- 
ment which have marked the problems of America in its 
relations to a warring world, there has been a degree of 
unanimity in honor to the flag that must cheer and stimu- 
late every lover of his country. Differences of definition 
there must always be in matters of patriotism. History 
records it from the beginning. Not only questions of ° 
war or peace, but ways of war have wrenched the wills 
and the heartstrings of mankind since civilization began, 
but the inspiring fact remains that, wherever it may have 
to be carried, whatever efforts it may be called upon to 
guide, the flag in itself is a symbol, not only of unity, but 
of peace. Unless, at last, it stood for the victories of 
peace it could not hold the highest homage of the highest 
valor.—Boston Herald. 
Tue PLANs For Home Rute for Ireland are matur- 
ing and in America the Home Rule ideal has many friends. 
Representative Mason of Illinois favors a declaration by 
the United States Government in favor of Home Rule 
and as one of the issues of this contest. Home Rule is 
assured. The best way in which Ireland can win Home 
Rule is by an enthusiastic and sincere support of the war 
until victory is assured. After the war Home Rule will 
be forthcoming. But it is a question whether anything 
can be gained by the means suggested by Representative 
Mason. The United States has already expressed its 
ideas concerning the war and has declared its purposes. 
Nothing can be gained either for Ireland or for the great 
cause by the adoption of the resolution. Home Rule will 
come after the war by an act by the powers in Great 
Britain. America must prosecute the war with an eye 
single and a purpose strong. 
War Brincs Its REVOLUTIONS in thought and action 
even though it is not directly felt. Everyone on the 
earth has been directly and indirectly affected by the 
castastrophe in which the whole world is involyed,
