NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
VOL. IX 
SOCIETY NOTES 
The Essex County club is proving 
an attractive spot for North Shore 
visitors to come for week-ends, now 
that most of the summer cottages 
are closed. Last Sunday there were 
a score of people there for the day 
and over the coming week-end 
there will be a number of others. 
The management plans to keep the 
elub open all winter and to make 
things as attractive and comfortable 
as possible. A great many changes 
are to be made in the clubhouse and 
grounds before next season. Con- 
nolly Bros., the Beverly Farms con- 
tractors, are at the present time 
making changes on the grounds, ad- 
joining the clubhouse, looking to- 
ward the parking of about 100 au- 
tos. The oval plot formed by the 
driveway to the clubhouse piazza, 
and formerly filled with shrubbery, 
is being cleared and room for about 
40 cars will be provided. This 
parking space will be hidden from 
view, as the oval will be hedged 
with hardy shrubbery. Beyond this 
oval another space is being made: 
with room for about 60 cars. This, 
too, will be within easy access to 
the clubhouse veranda, and as the 
north side of the oval will be skirted 
with low shrubbery, this additional 
parking space will be within easy 
calling distance from the veranda. 
The small space near the clubhouse 
formerly used for parking will be 
turned into a lawn. Plans have 
just been prepared by Roberts & 
Hoare and were to be gone over 
today for a caddy house _ to be 
erected near the clubhouse, to the 
north of the first tee.

Bryce, painted by S. Seymour 
Thomas, was unveiled in the smok- 
ing room of the national liberal club 
at London Wednesday by Sir Ed- 
ward Grey. The foreign secretary 
paid a tribute to Mr. Bryce and his 
distinguished work in various fields 
of usefulness. He said. that he had 
erowned a brilliant career by his 
suceess aS an ambassador. He had 
made the interests of Great Britain 
understood in America. He had 
been active in searching out and 
emphasizing points of agreement so ~ 
that when differences arose they 
were easily reconciled. ‘‘He will,”’ 
added the secretary, ‘‘return from 
Washington with enhanced credit 
and honor, leaving behind in the 
United States enduring memories.’

tor to this section of Massachusetts.
