Recreation and Good Samaritanism. 
The North Shore has been and is 
destined to continue the great rec- 
reation ground of Eastern Massa- 
chusetts for an increasingly large 
number of people. The beauties of 
the shore, the attractiveness of 
picturesque villas, the pleasures 
of the water, the quiet restfulness of 
the wood drives and the exhiliration 
of motoring over the unsurpassable 
roads with matchless scenic delights 
to please the eye conspire to make 
Beverly Farms, Manchester and 
Magnolia and other North Shore 
towns one of the great garden 
spots of the world. Fortunate is the 
one that is permitted to revel in such 
beauty. 
The days tell the mysteries of the 
dark soil and the gardener’s skill re- 
veals them that all may see and 
know them and be the happier for 
the pleasing colors in unnumbered 
forms of leaf and flower. The nights, 
cool, delightful and invigorating re- 
fresh wary bodies for another day. 
Indeed ‘‘day unto day uttereth 
speech and night unto night showeth 
knowledge. There is no _ speech 
nor language where their voice is not 
heard.”’ 
But how selfish are the delights 
of life! The very comfort and hap- 
piness and blessings of the shore life 
in all its glorious natural splendor, 
palatial ease, lavish table, luxurious 
and unlimited opportunities for 
recreation and comfort are compel- 
ling in their selfish entrancements. 
Life goes on with a swift, innocuous 
delight and the days slip by in the 
ceaseless whirl of gaiety and pleas- 
ure. Pleasure is ephemeral and 
pleases for awhile, but leaves the life 
thoughtless and eventually _ selfish. 
The life that ends in living ‘‘selfish- 
ly’? has unwittingly robbed itself of 
a great field of joy and happiness, 
unselfishness and life for others. 
The al fresco fete held recently on 
the Pickman estate, Beverly, in the in 
terests of a southern school, the re- 
cent event in the interests of the 
Marblehead Sanitarium for children 
held on the Montserrat Golf grounds, 
the Fair for the Sunny Side Nur- 
sery in other years and the coming 
event in Marblehead are beautiful 
examples of good Samaritanism, The 
shore has stopped in the nerve wear- 
ing whirl of self satisfaction and 
found a newer joy in the beauty of 
human nature for surpassing any joy 
of mere nature, the joy of a genuine 
interest in the life of others. The 
compulsion of human kindness has 
conquered the effete, soul narrow- 
ing tendencies of selfish pleasures. 
The recurrence of such festivities 
are wholesome and beneficient and 
must contribute much to real life on 
the shore. No life can fail to grow 
that asserts the powers of good Sa- 
maritanism and refuses to be be- 
numbed by the satiety of personal 
pleasure. Let the hearts open with 
the purse and the purse may be 
lightened, but the heart will learn a 
new joy, the joy of giving. 
The management of the great field 
day at Montserrat Saturday are to 
be congratulated, not alone for the 
success of the day, but for the nobler 
end which the day served, that of 
jarring the minds of the fortunate 
citizens of the shore out of the rut 
of selfish monotony into the broad 
road of brotherly sympathy and hu- 
man kindness. 
The alacrity with which Congress- 
man Gardner’s nomination papers 
have been signed is a forecast of the 
future. The Congressman is gain- 
ing ground every day in Gleucester 
and despite the unpleasantness that 
temporarily existed there last winter 
over a matter the republican voters 
of that city realize the valuable ser- 
vice he has constantly rendered 
them. His vigorous championship of 
their cause in a great cause has not 
been forgotten. Congressman Gard- 
ner should be returned. 
Off with the blinders! This is the 
slogan of the M.S. P.C. A. A state 
wide move has been made against 
the blinders on horses. It was orig- 
inally a devise started by a wealthy 
man in England to hide the blind 
eye of a favorite horse and now cus- 
tom demands it. The Society of good 
works is always busy in some good 
work and humane men will respond 
to their call. Off with the blinders, 
one and all; give the horse a chance 
to see. 
A concerted move would doubt- 
less enable the Beverly Farms people 
to enjoy a beautiful library and be 
on the map with Manchester. Man- 
chester has two beautiful - publie 
buildings the evidence of a public 
spirit and interest. The library giv- 
en by Hon. T. Jefferson Coolidge, 
and the Crowell Memorial chapel at 
the cemetery. It is strange that no 
one has even thought to place a 
memorial building for a library in 
Beverly Farms. 
The Breeze deeply sympathizes 
with the correspondents who com- 
plain against the noisy ear scraping 
terrors of the road and the unthrot- 
tled agonies of the motor boat. The 
law compels the muffling of motor 
boats but publie sentiment alone can 
accomplish anything with the former 
nuisance. 
Woman’s Suffrage! There was 
never a thinking man—and who is 
a man if he does not think—who did 
not and does not admit the superior- 
ity of the gentler sex! Miss Carpen- 
ter presents her case forcefully. 
The August Resorter is of surpas- 
sing excellence. The success of the 
earlier months made the summer is- 
sues indispensible. 
‘“We must learn to love the sound 
of the fog horn on the deep sea 
beach for the sake of the sailor on 
the ocean.’’ 
The genuine interest evinced in 
Moth Suppression at Magnolia as the 
outcome of T. W. Preston’s appeal 
is gratifying.
