SOCIETY NOTES 
The holiday Wednesday sounded a lively note in 
awakening renewed interest in the approaching North 
Shore season. At many of the resorts it was inspection 
day and hotels and cottages were kept open for the se- 
curing of prospective summer patrons. Automobile par- 
ties in large numbers warmly wrapped in furs enlivened 
the scene and sped along the North Shore drives in the 
familiar unceasing procession not unlike summer.
