_ Many North Shore so-journers and their guests are 
availing themselves of the priviledge of using the Essex 
ty club again this winter . The club is being kept 
ypen all winter for the use of members and season 
subscribers. Additional heaters have been put in and 
there are eleven bed-rooms for men and accommodations 
for five ladies in their end of the clubhouse. It is ad- 
visable to arrange for rooms in advance, but food can 
be served at any time without notice. One of the im- 
portant changes being made at the club at present is 
the changing over of the office. This has always been 
ov the second floor. A room on the first floor,former- 
ly used as a men’s writing room is being changed over 
into a room to serve as an office. Kntrance may be 
made from the outside, as well as from the inside. The 
telephone will also be located here. The room formerly 
used as an office is being converted into a bed-room.
