occupy their own cottage for the summer. Last year they 
spent the early part of the summer at Jaffrey, N. H., and 
later went to West Chop. Miss Dwight’s three sisters are 
following the religious life in convents, two of them in 
the Order of the Notre Dame and the other as a Car- 
melite nun. 
Nahant is béginning to show evidences of breaking 
out into another summer season. The weather is being 
tuned up toa degree now that cottages can be opened com- 
fortably and the real estate men who cater to residents in 
this section are busily engaged showing estates and cot- 
tages for the season. It is a good sign for a live summer 
when the real estate men say that inquiries and actual 
rentals show a much better average in Nahant than for 
three years past. Optimism is the spirit manifested by 
all who look for and wish for a busy season on the little 
cape resort. 
JVARBLEHEAD NECK and the mainland is emerging 
from its winter garb in good style and is quite ready 
for the summer season. Everything looks especially pro- 
pitious on this shore for the 1916 season and the advance 
_rentals of cottages are more encouraging than for three 
or four years. Some of the cottages are already open. 
Early comers are numbering more each season. April 19 
will see many cottagers down by motor and the trains 
will bring others who will look over their places for the 
first time this year, preparatory to occupying them for the 
summer. 
The biggest improvement on the Marblehead shore 
is the big two-story addition being finished on the Corin- 
thian Yacht club. It is quite a large addition, stretching 
out two stories high on the harbor side. It will give the 
club members a much larger billiard room, with several 
more chambers on the second story. The need of more

rooms has been apparent for some time. The addition 
will probably be entirely finished by the time the club is 
formally opened on Monday, May 15. At that time there 
will be a special program and it will be the formal start of 
a lively summer. 
The Marblehead shipyards and yacht builders show 
the most convincing signs of the fact that summer is on 
the horizon in the shape of yachts being launched for their 
season’s work in the waters along the North Shore and at 
Long Island and other places. 
The large power yacht, Arval, formerly owned by 
Lawrence F’. Percival, has been sold to New York parties 
and has been launched and ‘left her Marblehead winter 
quarters last week. 
Three 25-foot cruising yachts are being built at the 
Stearns & McKay shipyard. One is for Edgar Leven- 
stein of Boston, to be ready the first of June; another is 
for Henry H. Baker of New York and the third is to be 
kept in stock. 
The Hotel Rock-Mere on the mainland at Marblehead 
is to be open for inspection on April 19, when the re-- 
furnished hostelry will be looked over by many prospec- 
tive summer guests. Manager Brackett of the Rock-Mere 
reports exceptional bookings for the season. ‘The Rock- 
Mere season opens on May 28. There have been con- 
siderable changes made in this house during the past win- 
ter. The large dining room has been remodeled and 
several private baths have been added. The interior of 
the house has been refinished. 
“Questenmere,” the charming estate of the Fred 
McQuestens of Brookline has been occupied for the past 
week. The gardeners have been at work, with startling 
cffect, for so early in the season. The McQuestens come 
early to their shore home each year.
