NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Vol. XV 
ENTALS of summer cottages and estates along the 
North Shore continue as the season approaches, al- 
though practically all of the largest and most desirable 
estates have been taken for many months. ‘There are, of 
course, some places yet to be rented, but not any more 
than normal at this season of the year. Many families 
have already moved to their shore homes. Preparations 
for occupying a great many more are being made. — In- 
deed, there seems to be a marked tendency on the part of 
trany Philadelphia families and those from western cities 
to come to the seashore earlier than usual this year.
