Although Monday of this week was the coldest 
on record for this section for 40 years and the weather 
of yesterday, with its snow, rain and sleet, belied the 
the presence of spring, the indications, according to 
the weather man, are that warmer weather is on the 
end of the present cool wave. Next Sunday and Mon- 
day will see a big influx of visitors to the North Shore. 
on account of the holiday. Real estate men are look- 
ing forward to a pleasant day on Monday, when many 
will be interested in looking over summer property 
before settling here for the season. The majority of 
the hotels will be open for inspection on the holiday, 
as usual.
