any on the Neck. It has two large houses which com- 
mand a full view of the harbor and the old town beyond. 
Considerable work for Mr. Fletcher has been done this 
season in grading, with new roads and rustic fences. 
Elsewhere on the Neck 
On Nanepashemet street at the Neck a small two- 
story cottage with piazza is under construction for Fred- 
erick L. Day, which will have a gambrel roof and will 
be shingled all over. The first floor has only a living 
room and a kitchen and a room for a maid. The second 
floor will give the owner two bedrooms, a sleeping porch 
and a bath. The little house was planned by a Boston 
architect, Frank F. Kendall, and it is being built by Cus- 
tance Brothers of Lexington. 
Also on Nanepashemet street a new garage is under 
way for Howard Whitcomb, carrying out the same ex- 
terior type as that of his cottage which was built two 
or three seasons ago. It is of two stories with ‘‘snub- 
nosed” gables and its exterior is of stucco. In addition 
to the usual plan for a garage, there are quarters for use 
of a chauffeur. Arthur H. Bowditch of Boston planned 
the garage, which is being built by Roscoe & Steele of 
Marblehead. <A plastered ornamental wall will connect 
the house and garage. ; 
Frew CHANGES AT SWAMPSCOTT. 
HE New Ocean House at Swampscott, which a year 
ago offered its patrons the advantages of. its addition, 
a building of several stories which was well planned for 
the comfort of guests, is now undergoing still other 
changes and a large new dining room will be found this 
season. The old-time lobby, from which the big ballroom 
leads, has been. extended to include what was formerly 
the main dining room, making an unusually large space 
for such purposes in a summer hotel. It is more than 
two hundred feet long and is proportionately wide. The 
office and desks have been removed to the end of. this 
lobby, and ranging between the elevator and the offices 
is a series of small shops, or booths, with octagon bay 
opening upon the lobby. There is also a newspaper and 
magazine shop, a telegraph booth, etc. 
The new dining room is an annex building about 
ninety feet square, with a central portion, fifty-six feet 
in dimensions, with a dome roof twenty-four feet in 
height, the glazed top surrounded by ornamental panels.

The walls are broken by fluted pilasters and there is 
considerable stucco ornamentation. The floor is of cera- 
mic mosaic and is fireproof. The dining room, when 
finished and decorated, will be so attractive that it will 
add immeasurably to the pleasure of guests. A new ser- 
vice room is among the improvements, which include also 
a large kitchen in the basement, thoroughly equipped with 
all the modern fittings for work and proper service. New 
storerooms have been made to meet the needs of the big 
dining room and kitchen. The work will be finished so 
that the dining room may be used this summer, but for 
the earliest part of the season the tearoom, large for such 
a room, will be utilized as a dining room. The plans for 
these changes at the hotel were made by A. H. Bowditch 
of Boston, and the work is in the hands of Campbell 
Bros., Lynn builders. 
Among the improvements in Swampscott is a new 
garage for Frank E. Paige of Puritan road. It is an at- 
tractive building and is of terra-cotta finish, with tiled 
roof. ‘There are two stories, the first equipped in a mod- 
ern way for its intended purposes, with a second floor 
fitted for the use of the chauffeur. The building was 
planned by. Arthur H. Bowditch, Boston architect. | 
“Sport House” Is Unusual 
Improvement of the estate of Herbert E. Gale at 
Tedesco Point in Swampscott has gone on since last sea- 
son, when the imposing mansion of stone construction was 
built. This season finds a new building, which is termed 
a ‘sport house,” for indoor games of various kinds, card 
parties and for dances. It is of rough stone construction 
corresponding to the house, with which it is connected by 
a long colonnade of massive stone posts, eighteen in all, 
set in a double row, to support a pergola top. Just out- 
side the sport rouse will be a tennis court, croquet ground, 
and the plans include also a fine green for outdoor bowl- 
ing. The house is spacious and is provided with a deep 
stone fireplace and with window corner seats. On two 
sides it has a covered veranda, for promenading. The 
house is so picturesque in look in its setting and surround- 
ings that it adds materially to the general attractiveness 
of the estate. It was built from plans by J. Williams Beal, - 
the Boston architect, who designed the large mansion on 
the estate. There also has been built near the stable and 
rarage a small cottage, well planned, for the use of Mr. 
Gale’s gardener.

The big event for which the young- 
sters and grownups have been im- 
patiently waiting is drawing near, for 
Ringling Brothers’ circus is to exhibit 
afternoon and night in Lynn on Mon- 
day, June 11, and in Salem on Tues- 
day, June 12. 
Expectancy never ran so high be- 
fore and it is likely that this district 
will send a large delegation to feed 
the elephants. . Unusal interest cen- 
ters around the gigantic spectacle, 
“Cinderella,” with which the famous 
showmen are this season opening 
their wonderful main tent program. 
“Cinderella” is probably the best 
loved of all fairy tales and to see it 
produced with more than 1000 per- 
sons, hundreds of dancing girls and 
glorious pageants, indeed gives prom- 
ise of making “childhood’s golden 
dreams come true.’ In the same 
great tent, will come the marvelous 
circus numbers in which 400 men and 
women performers, scores of trained 
animals and a galaxy of special fea- 
tures are introduced. The majority 
of the acts are entirely new to Amer- 
ica, the Ringling Bros. having se- 
cured the pick of all European per- 
formers who have been obliged to 
seek engagements in this country. 
The all-new street parade will take 
place show day morning.

“The Angel in the House,” the side- 
splitting farcial burlesque that has 
taken Boston by storm, is to be con- 
tinued at the Copley Theatre for at 
least one more week, having played 
to crowded houses thus far. The play 
gives promise of being the greatest 
success of the repertory season by the 
Henry Jewett Players. This week 
the ludicrous adventures of Hya- 
cinthe Petavel, a part played by Leo- 
nard Crasce, have rocked the audi- 
ence with hearty, joyous laughter, and 
seriously threatened the stability of 
sundry waistcoat buttons. 
There is but one kind of love, but 
there are a million opinions of it. 
Flattery is like counterfeit money 
which impoverishes those who receive 
it.
