The North Shore BREEZE is one of 
the most interesting society papers in 
New England and brimful of bright 
and newsy matter covering the North 
Shore.— Beverly Column in Salem 
News. 
Thanks, brother Stone! 
‘‘What do the people on the North 
Shore want—a fog horn that will play 
the ‘ Cayalleria Rusticana?’ asks the 
Sunday Globe, quizzically. 
At last somebody has guessed cor- 
rectly. Though, perhaps, Rusti- 
can(a) might not sound as well as 
something else. 
In regard tothe new law on inheri- 
tance taxes in which North Shore peo- 
ple are more or less interested, the 
Herald observes that : 
It will henceforth cost well-to-do 
people in this commonwealth more to 
die and bequeath their estates under 
the new inheritance law. The only 
legacies not touched by the law are 
those of less than $1,000 generally, 
and those up to $10,000 when be- 
queathed to husband, wife, father, 
mother or child. Bequests to charita- 
ble, educational or religious societies 
or toa town or city for public pur- 
poses are also exempt. On all 
other bequests the tax applies pro- 
gressively. If a bequest to a husband, 
wife, lineal ancestor or descendant 
does not exceed $50,000 the tax is one 
per cent. If it dves not exceed 
$100,000 it is 1% per cent., and for 
any larger amount it is 2 per cent. If 
the bequest is made to a brother, 
sister, nephew or neice the tax is 3 
per cent. under $25, 000, 4 per cent. if 
it does not exceed $100, 000 and 5 per 
cent. on larger amounts. These are 
only the more salient features of a law 
which may appropriately be com- 
mended to the attention of all testa- 
tors for further particulars. 
It is really surprising sometimes to 
see how widely the BREEzE is getting 
to be known. A few days ago we 
found a letter in our box at the post- 
office addressed to the ‘‘Point Breeze, 
Nantucket, Mass.’”’ Now Manchester 
and Nantucket are a long ways apart, 
yet the mail clerk that handled the 
letter saw the word ‘Breeze,’ and 
that was enough ; he connected it with 
the NortH SHORE BREEZE right off 
and it was accordingly tied up in the 
Manchester pouch. In Manchester 
the word ‘‘Breeze’’ loomed up as the 
mail was being assorted and, not 
thinking for an instant there was any 
“Breeze’’ but the Norru .SHORE 
BREEZE, the clerk put the missive in 
our box. That’s what we want; the 
more widely known the BREEZE be- 
comes, so much better known does 
Manchester, Magnolia, Beverly-Farms, 
—the whole North Shore — become. 
Auto None the Worse After Its 
Trip to the Bottom of 
the Ocean 
Automobiles are called upon to go 
almost everywhere and to perform all 
kinds of stunts, but the car that can 
take a dip in the ocean and remain 
there, submerged in water over night, 
and then go honie of its own motive 
power, is surely made of the right 
kind of stuff. 
Such a car is owned by R. C. 
Hooper of the West Manchester sum- 
mer colony. Last Saturday Miss 
Hooper and young lady friend were 
out for a spin along the shore, the car 
being in charge of Mr. Baxter, the 
chauffeur. The party wended their 
way to Wingaersheek beach, West 
Gloucester. Everybody who has been 
there knows what a splendid beach it 
is for autoing. When the beach was 
reached Miss Hooper handled the car 
herself. The tide was dead low and 
the wide stretch of firm sand made an 
excellent roadway for a ride over the 
beach. They had a fine time going 
back and forth across the beach. 
Eventually, however, Miss Hooper 
drove the car far out on the long spit 
that reaches out from the shore and

which is only uncovered at dead low 
water. But the tide was about turn- 
ing and on trying to come back the 
auto became stuck and their utmost 
efforts could not budge it. The party 
stood by the machine until the rising 
tide forced them to leave it and seek 
parts of the beach where the tide did 
not come. 
At high water the automobile was 
entirely submerged and could not be 
rescned until low tide the following 
morning about 2 o’clock, when horses 
were procured and it was hauled out 
only slightly damaged by the night 
spent at the bottom of the sea. 
The auto was brought back to Man- 
chester of its own power, and after 
a thorough overhauling at Blount, 
Bater & Co.’s shop it will be as good 
as new. 
Hollis Street Theatre 
Boston has been selected by Grace 
George as one of the first cities to 
see her in her New York and London 
success ‘‘Divorcons.’’ She will appear 
at the Hollis street theatre for two 
weeks only beginning next Monday. 
This light comedy from the pen of 
the master French dramatist, Sardou, 
is unquestionably the best play in 
which Miss George has ever appeared, 
and its presentation both in New 
York and abroad was the sensation of 
the past dramatic season 
In support of Miss George will be 
Frank Worthing, who is most pleas- 
antly remembered for his excellent 
work with many prominent stars. He 
is agreeably cast as the husband of 
the frivolous young. wife, .who at first 
loses her love but later through a 
clever ruse succeeds in regaining it. 
Max Freeman, for years regarded 
as the most successful stage director 
of the New York Casino, is another 
member of the cast. 
This engagement» will probably be 
the last appearance in Boston of Miss 
George for some time for at the con- 
clusion of her present tour, she re- 
turns to London . for an indefinite 
season. 
Miss McNamara is at her cottage, 
39 School street, Manchester-by-the 
Sea, for the season, and is prepared 
to do shampooing, marcel waving, and 
manicuring. She has for sale a 
splendid scalp tonic and pomade, and 
also a Russian egg soap. Telephone
