has its summer shop located on Lobster Lane, Foster 
cottage, Magnolia. The pretty little shop opened June 24 
and affords a delightful place in which to have tea indoors 
Cove and 
Coolidge’s Point just across the water. The shop is 
civided into two departments, the tea room and food shop 
and across the entry the delightful room known as the 
children’s shop. The food shop is finished in yellow and 
grayish-white, and the attendant, Miss Katherine Gillis, 
wears charming gowns to match the color scheme. The 
children’s shop on the left of the entry is done in rose 
color, and Miss Constance Syer, who is in charge, always 
wears a quaint little rose-colored short-waisted gown 
with a bandeau in her hair to match and a dainty white 
transparent apron. In the children’s shop may be found 
every dainty and useful thing for children’s and infants’ 
wear; pretty smocked rompers and suits for seashore, 
tennis or gardening. The Union’s frocks and hats for 
children are specialy designed and cannot be purchased 
elsewhere. The toy department has a wonderfully unique

line of pretty things, including dolls, dolls’ furniture, 
wonder balls, Jack Horner pies for parties, interesting 
books and games, all waiting to be shown to every little 
bey or girl on the North Shore by the little lady in the 
rose-colored smock. Little visitors will also be interested 
in the food shop, for there they can get all kinds of 
goodies, including cookies, candy and corn balls. The 
older visitors will enjoy the tea, jellies, salads, cakes and 
creams. A line of pottery, brasses, rugs, baskets, cush- 
ions and antiques is also carried. The summer shop of 
tlie Union has not been in Magnolia since four years ago 
when it had quarters in Green Gables. Last summer it 
conducted a small shop in Manchester. The food shop 
of the Union in Boston is in charge of Miss Emerson and 
Miss Josephine Weymouth has charge of the children’s 
shop. Food orders for the Union’s Boston shop will 
receive prompt attention if given to the summer shop. 
Telephone: Magnolia 466. Patronesses for the shop 
are Mrs. William H.Coolidge, Mrs. F. lL. Higginson, Jr., 
Mrs. Roger Sherman Warner, Mrs. Samuel D. Warren, 
Jv., and Mrs. Renton Whidden. 
Traffic Tips for North Shore Motorists 
MOtORISTS who frequent the boulevards and city 
highways of the North Shore are noting what they 
believe to be pretty strict observance of the traffic rules. 
Ovyerspeeding has been the means of many court fines this 
summer and in some cases licenses have been lost as a 
result of too numerous offences in this respect. 
Away up at the tip end of the North Shore along the 
‘Nahant boulevard the auto law enforcement has~ been 
rather rigid. There were five motorists in the Lynn 
court one day recently as a result of being held up on 
this highway. One Virginian, who drove his motor a 
trifle fast, the police said, told the judge that the North 
Shore roads were so good he could not resist the tempta- 
He paid his fine, however. 
The 'Salem end of the state road between that city 
-and Swampscott has been resurfaced, although a small 
portion of it is still to be done. 
Puritan road, Swampscott, is once more open along 
its entire length, to autos. It has been entirely resur- 
faced. 
Salem has the Bunker Hill white post fever now as 
a traffic hint to motorists. At all of the intersecting junc- 
tions of streets in the center of the city one will see these 
ininiature monuments. The motor cycle squad of the 
Salem police is not in commission this year, but autoists 
should drive with care along Lafayette street coming in- 
to Salem from the ‘Lynn shore drive. The building oper- 
ations there and other road repair work incident to the 
fire of a year ago makes that road anything but ideal. 
It is in fairly good condition, however. 
The prospect of a new traffic bridge between Salem 
and Beverly is encouraging to motorists. The present 
structure is entirely inadequate to the demands upon it, 
two vehicles and a trolley car hardly having room to 
pass together with safety. The upkeep at present is 
$5,000 a year, it is stated, and if that is so, it would seem 
that the new concrete, steel-re-enforced structure suggest- 
ed would be the cheaper in the end. 
Floating bridge, Lynn, has been re-strengthened and 
pianked during the last fortnight and those who have 
occasion to use the Salem-Lynn turnpike will find a good 
road through to Boston,
