NORTH SHORE BREEZE. c 
AT THE HOTELS 
The Masconomo House at Manches- 
ter opens next Monday for the season 
under the management of Ryland Ham-. 
ilton. Mr. Hamilton is a hotel man of 
many years experience. For the past 
few years he has been at Pittsfield, Mass. , 
managing the Wendell Hotel. 
Mrs. J. Ek. Hudson, of Boston, is at 
the Highland cottage, Magnolia, for the 
season. 
Mrs. J. EF. Pillsbury, wife of Admiral 
Pillsbury, head of the Naval Board at 
Washington, D. C., is at the Oceanside 
hotel, for the season. 
At the Lawton cottage, Magnolia, are 
Mr. and Mrs. Clarence M. Bushnell of 
Buffalo, N. Y. The Bushnells are ac- 
companied by their three children, 
Misses Edwine and Carolyn B. Bush- 
nell, and Clarence Bushnell. 
Mr. and Mrs. William D. Rees, of 
Cleveland, toured from Boston to Mag- 
nolia, Friday, where they arrived about 
noon and opened the Joslyn cottage, 
where they will remain for the summer. 
The Reeses would undoubtedly have ar- 
rived much earlier in the season but for 
the fact that the young people did not 
finish their schoolwork for the year until 
late. 
Bathing at Crescent Beach is now 
made all the more enjoyable by the mu- 
sic, rendered by the orchestra, between 
twelve and one every day. 
‘Tuesday was indeeda record breaker 
for warm weather. At five o’clock the 
thermometer at the Magnolia station reg- 
istered 115 degrees. If it was as warm 
at that time of the day what must it have 
been during the noon hour. “The show- 
er at two, although for the moment it 
cooled the air, did not have a very last- 
ing effect and only made it warmer if 
anything. 
The first dance of the season which 
took place at the Oceanside Wednesday 
evening was a decided success. ‘To the 
accompaniment of the delightful music 
rendered by the Oceanside orchestra, 
some one hundred and fifty couples cir- 
cled about the Casino. 
Perkins & Corliss have secured for the 
season a large six cylinder National tour- 
ing car, which, with a competent chaf- 
feur who thoroughly understands his 
business, is stationed on [Lexington ave- 
nue directly before the Oceanside hotel, 
where it is at the disposal of any who 
may desire it. 
The E. T. Slattery company of Bos- 
ton opened their branch store in the 
Colonnade, Magnolia, last week. Here 
the ladies of the summer colony can find 
everything that they need in French mil- 
linery, and imported novelties of the sea- 
son. Miss Holman of the Boston store, 
will have charge of the establishment this 
season, 
One Fare for the Round 
Trip—for the message and the answer.

It may cost a litthe more—but so does

A Ghain and its Links 
In telephoning there are three links in the chain that constitutes ‘* good 
service’’: 1. The person calling. 2. The operator. 3. The person 
called. 
No matter how much any one or any two of these links do to develop 
good service, the result is determined by the measure of co-operation of 
the third. A chain is no stronger than its weakest link. 
If the person calling fails to consult the catalogue and gives a wrong num- 
ber, the operator inevitably repeats the error. If the person called fails to 
answer promptly and the caller leaves the telephone, naturally “‘there is no 
one on the line.’’ 
Being human, the operator—the third link—is liable to err occasionally, 
but careful analysis demonstrates that she is not fairly chargeable with many of 
the difficulties frequently ascribed to her. 
If Link No. 1 Gives the Right Number and Calls Distincly, and Link 
No. 3 Answers Promptly, the Telephone Company will be responsible for 
its part of the chain. If no higher motive actuated it, the motive of economy, 
or self-interest, would suffice. 
From any Pay Station you can speak to “any 
one of 300,000 telephones in the territory of the 
New England Telephone and Telegraph Company. 
Even if he is not a subscriber, you can arrange 
to have the person desired called to a Pay Station 
to talk to you.
