NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
COLLEGE GIRLS ON NORTH 
SHORE 
Annual Pilgrimage of Young Women 
From Remote Parts of Country. 
There is in these days, more than 
one ‘‘Grand Tour.’’ The one in the 
old world has a rival and it lies in 
Massachusetts. This new ‘‘Grand 
Tour,’’ which is taken annually, has 
been made quite distinctive by the 
New England college girls. It is 
taken in the gladsome spring vaca- 
tion. 
The itenerary includes the famous 
‘*North Shore’ from Marblehead to 
the tip end of Cape Ann, a territory 
rich in tradition, scenic grandeur 
and historical significance. The 
young women, mostly from Welles- 
ley college, are in the majority of 
cases from very remote parts of the 
county and from foreign lands. Boat- 
ing, fishing, canoeing, driving, mo- 
toring, yachting and jong tramps 
over the rocky picturesque portions 
of the ‘‘Shore’’ are filling the ten 
days’ vacation with delightful mem- 
ories and giving the ‘‘Shore’’ great 
publicity. 
The Cape Ann Shore (Hast Glou- 
cester, Rocky Neck, Pigeon Cove and 
Rockport) holds quite the greatest 
charm for the girls for varied inter- 
est, divertisement and the aequire- 
ment of historical, artistic and liter- 
ary lore of famous old Cape Ann. 
The girls are the real college prod- 
uct, hatless-charmers, besweatered 
and sneakered, robust, invigorating 
girls of the middle and far west, 
many seeing for the first time, old 
veean and a real fishing vessel. 
Business has been brisk, especially 
in Gloucester and Rockport, for 
a college girl is most loyal to 
her chafing dish, her spreads and 
sweets. Souvenirs are eagerly se- 
cured and souvenir postals have 
been no drug on the market. The 
‘‘North Shore’’ is delighted to see 
and welcome again these _ breezy, 
fair women of the west. They are 
now the real harbingers of spring, 
gay, vivid and virile as the hyacinths 
or crocuses striving to break through 
the icy ground and break the bonds 
of winter.

ter. 
80 Years Old, Takes Daily Salt 
Water Plunge. 
I think that some of our young 
people who frequent Singing Beach 
for bathing purposes durmg the 
summer and who have to inquire 
what the temperature of the water 
is before they can make up their 
minds to go in, will geel a little mite 
ashamed of themselves after the ex- 
ample that has been set by a winter 
visitor to Manchester. Visitors at 
the beach of late have been aghast 
and stared with open-eyed wonder 
at the sight of an elderly gentleman 
taking a plunge in the surf, which 
he has done almost daily I am told 
for several weeks. This gentleman 
proves to be the Rev. George Har- 
rison of Sawyersville, Que., who 
with his wife has spent the winter 
with their daughter and son-in-law, 
Dr. and Mrs. R. T. Glendenning. Al- 
though the reverend gentleman is 
79 years of age he bears his years 
lightly and his figure is as erect and 
step as sprightly as a man of 40. 
Being inured to a climate so much 
more rigorous than our own, our 
zero weather seems like a zephyr 
from the southland, so bathing in 
mid-winter in Manchester, holds no 
terrors for him.—The Manchester 
Cricket.
