NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
SOCIETY NOTES 
Plans are going forward for the provision of tempor- 
ary headquarters for the Essex County club this season. 
Part of the old stable will be changed over into rooms for 
various uses. The small ell now attached to the building 
will be used as a locker room. In one end of the building 
will be a lounging room for men, with shower baths, etc., 
and in the other end will be similar accommodations for 
ladies. Between the two will be the office, serving room 
and also Supt. Ross’s work shop. The rest of the stable 
floor will be left vacant. It is also proposed to erect a 
temporary clubhouse on the bluff between the first tee 
ard the 18th. hole, for the joint use of men and women, 
where tea and simple meals can be served. This building 
of the “movable” type, is now practically ready to ship, 
if not already on the grounds. It will be 60 feet long, and 
will contain a kitchen, dining room seating about 35 per- 
sons, lounging room for men, ladies reception room, toilets, 
etc. There will be a 6-foot piazza on one end of it. The 
tennis courts and golf links are now open for play and are 
in very good condition. Donald Ross is again superinten- 
dent of the club. The band concerts will be held during 
the season as usual. Meanwhile plans are being made for 
the construction before the season of 1914 of a handsome 
new clubhouse, to be built practically on the site of the 
old house, which was sestiored by fire March 14. 
Mrs. E. C. Swift has changed her plans for the spring 
owing to sickness. She was to have sailed last week.for 
a couple of months’ trip to Europe. She will not go to 
Europe, however, but will,remain in Washington with her 
daughter Mrs. Clarence Moore until the first of June, 
when they will come on to Pride’s Crossing.

_ Newcomers to the shore this season, as cottagers, 
will be the Louis Bacons of Boston, who will occupy the 
Arthur Little “Barlow Cottage,” at Beverly Farms. They 
expect to take occupancy May 8. Mrs. Bacon was one 
of the attractive Southerland girls, daughter of Rear- 
Admiral and Mrs. W. H. H. Southerland, who have been 
coming to the Oceanside, at Magnolia, for so many sea- 
sons. Upon the recent arrival of Rear-Adm. and Mrs. 
Southerland and Miss Harriet Southerland in Washington 
from California they were met by Mr. and Mrs. Bacon, 
who went on from Boston especially to meet them. Need- 
less to say the family will be much together at Beverly 
Farms the coming season.

At a recent meeting of the Motor 
Boat Muffling Association, an organi- 
zation of residents of the North and 
South shores, formed for the purpose 
of securing the enforcement of the 
engine muffler law, President Ellerton 
James reported that progress had been 
made toward securing a motor boat, 
which will be suitable to the Massachu- 
setts State Police in their work of 
running down unmuffled motor boats 
the coming summer. In order to get 
the necessary funds to charter the boat 
—about $1800 being required—it will 
be necessary to obtain additional sub- 
scriptions. 
The following-named directors were 
re-elected: Clarence W. Barron, Co- 
hasset ; Frederick Ayer, Pride’s Cross- 
ing; C. S. Eaton, Marblehead; F. W. 
Fosdick, Gloucester; Charles H. Par- 
ker, Cotuit; W. M. Paul, Jr.. Hull; C. 
N. Wallace, Beverly, and Charles F. 
Wonson, Gloucester. 
The report of Treasurer Stoughton 
Bell showed expenses of $2032 last 
year, of which $1569 was for hire and 
maintenance of the motor boat during 
the first season. 
REALISM 
Show Girl (bursting into manager’s 
office) —Quick! ‘There’s a fire behind 
the scenes, the gang is rushing about 
like mad and- screaming their heads 
off. Looks like a panic. What will 
we do? 
Manager—Do? Ring up the cur- 
tain, of course, and let the audience 
think it is the opening chorus.—Puck.
