16 NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
AT THE HOTELS. 
A frequent visitor to the Oceanside Hotel in Magnolia 
is J. C. Hood of Lowell, who comes to the North Shore to 
spend a few days at a time with his uncle, C. I. Hood, of 
the ‘‘Spindle City.’’ The elder Mr. Hood is a season 
guest at the Oceanside, having been assigned apartments 
in the Highlands cottage. 
‘Reggie’? Kennard of Boston, who is the ‘‘hub’’ on 
which is revolving the coming tennis tournament at the 
Oceanside under the auspices of the Magnolia Tennis 
Association, went to Boston Monday to witness the 
match on the Longwood courts between Larned, the 
tennis champion, and McLaughlin, the 19-year-old wonder 
from California. And he is a wonder if one may judge 
by ‘‘Reggie’s’’ enthusiasm which was not dampened 
even by the storm which drove the ‘‘gallery’’ to shelter 
before the play could be completed. 
Magnolia had a near sensation Monday. For a time 
excitement reigned. And then the heavens rained and 
the ‘‘sensation’’ passed away with the shower, leaving a 
rainbow of laughter which was turned on two bell-boys 
at the Oceanside. Ilere it is as it was told some hours 
later.

side.—Yes. 
Telephone Bell—‘Tingle-Tingle, ete., ete.’’ 
Day Clerk Bell—‘ Yes. This is the Ocean- 
What !—Just a minute—Oh, boy—front— 
you! Anybody! There’s a man drowning off the 
rocks. (Exit bellboys) All right, good-bye.’’ 
When Mr. Bell hung up the receiver things began to 
happen. Someone had telephoned that they heard 
a voice calling for help from the dashing waves. The 
boys running toward the water front caused con- 
siderable excitement and they had gone perhaps a hun- 
dred yards when they were being followed by men, 
“ 
women and children.. As the boys stopped at the road 
overlooking the ocean, they turned for an instant and 
saw the crowd following. The bell-boys: waited only a 
moment.. Something was. wrong in the.minds of the 
pursuers. Evidently there had been a. misunderstand- 
ing. Bell-boys-running had created an unfavorable im- 
g : g 
pression. But they were not going to wait to learn.just 
what. was the matter. They took to the woods. And that 
move did not tend to inspire confidence in the minds of 
the pursuers. They took after the boys. It was purely 
a misunderstanding all around, but—the tangle was not 
unravelled until sometime later when the signs of storm 
had driven the crowd back to the house. Then it was 
learned that someone on the ocean front had heard or 
thought they had heard a ery for help. The Oceanside 
was the nearest place. Hence the telephone call. Hence 
the unusual sight of running bell-boys. Hence the mis- 
understanding on the part of those on the verandas. 
Hence the ‘‘sensation’’. ’T'was a. pleasant diversion 
anyway and the boys don’t seem to mind. 
Mr. and Mrs. Henry A. Carpenter, Miss Sadie A. 
Carpenter, Doris Carpenter and Earl. W. Carpenter, 
make up a Providence family registered at the Ocean- 
side for an indefinite stay. 
The Rey. W. E. Strong of Boston who was in the pul- 
pit at Union chapel, Magnolia, Sunday morning, was a 
guest at the Oceanside. Mr. Strong is a member of the 
American Board of Foreign Missions. 
Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Kohler of New York have joined 
Mr. Kohler’s father, who is a season guest at the Hes- 
perus. Other season guests from New York are Mrs. 
Henry Boynton Moore and Miss Katherine Moore, who 
are in the hotel proper and Mrs. Shortland, Mr. and Mrs.
