NORTH SHORE BREEZE. 
and $6.00. They will be ready for oc- 
cupancy from May 29th on. 
The club is to be under the manage- 
ment this summer of Theodore D. Mar- 
tin, who carried onthe little clubroom 
last year very satisfactorily and proved 
himself competent for this larger work. 
He will have an assistant, who has not 
yet been chosen. Henry Seaberg will 
be the second assistant. The rooms 
will be cared for by a chambermaid. 
Since May 3lst is a holiday, it has 
been decided to throw the building open 
to the public for that day. The bowling 
alleys and pool tables will invite -your 
skill. The restaurant will serve ice 
cream as well as meals. There will be 
dancing in the assembly hall in the 
evening. 
The question has been asked whether 
the building will be used in winter. 
The intention is to heat the bowling 
alley, poolroom and gymnasium so that 
they may be used in winter. The gym- 
nasium will make an excellent clubroom 
for meetings of the boys and girls and 
the men will appreciate an opportunity 
to bowl without going to Gloucester. 
Fees can be regulated so that the win- 
ter’s clubs can be self supporting like the 
summer club. 
The property is to be owned by the 
subscribers in shares of $25.00 each just 
as is the Women’s clubhouse. The 
owners will be incorporated and will 
choose directors, who will have general 
oversight of the club’s affairs. Joseph 
Sargent, jr., of Boston, has kindly un- 
dertaken to secure the incorporation, 
without charge for his services. 
It remains to expressin behalf of all 
Magnolia our gratitude to the architect, 
Mr. James S. Lee of Boston, for con- 
tributing to the project as his share the 
plans that have produced this beautiful 
building. Its suecess will be the reward 
of his pains as it will be that of all who 
have worked hard or sacrificed to 
achieve it. 
Finally, there may be someone who 
will say that $28,000 is too much to pay 
for such a building. In a community 
where stables for horses may with the 
land they are on be worth $10,000 or 
even $15,000, I cannot think that $28,- 
000 is a disproportionate amount to pay 
for the happiness and well being of 
men. 
They have a proverb in the. business 
world that quality will be remembered 
long after price is forgotten. Jt will be 
so of this clubhouse. Its completeness 
will justify it in the eyes of the generous 
as could not be the case if it were inade- 
quate. And ina year’s time it will bé 
so thoroughly a part of the life of the 
place that we shall wonder how we ever 
got along without it.

P. S. LYCETT’S NEW STORE. 
Modern and Up-to-date Grocery and Hardware Store a new Feature at Mag- 
nolia this Season. 
Magnolia is to be congratulated on 
having such an attractive little grocery 
store as that built the past winter by 
Philip S. Lycett, and shown in the ac- 
line of these goods as his store will per- 
mit, and the people of Magnolia may 
feel in the future that any article they 
may want in this line can be found here. 
P. S. LYCETT’S NEW BLOCK AT MAGNOLIA 
companying reproduction. It is a two 
story building, the ground floor being 
used by Mr. Lycett as a store and the 
upper portion, five rooms and bath, as 
apartments for Mr. Lycett’s occupancy. 
The building is located on Magnolia 
avenue, next to the Men’s clubhouse, 
the two new structures giving a very 
pretty setting to this section of Magnolia 
village. 
From the broad sidewalk in front of 
the building one enters a good-sized al- 
cove, with tiled floor. From this open 
three doors, one on either side to the 
store, and the other leading to the apart- 
ments up-stairs. 
Mr. Lycett, in moving to his new 
store, added to his stock a line of hard- 
ware and kitchen furnishings, and nu- 
merous articles for the house, such as 
crockery, etc., a departure which will, 
no doubt, be met with approval by the 
people of Magnolia, as no such line has 
been carried by anyone heretofore. Mr. 
Lycett carries as large and complete a 
The Women's Club, Magnolia. 
The financial statement of the Wo- 
men’s club at Magnolia, for 1908, shows 
that the total income for the year totalled 
$655.25, $465 of which was from rent 
of rooms and $167.25 from dues. The 
total expenses amounted to $614.56, in- 
cluding the matron’s salary $160, im- 
provements $37.05, and interest on the 
mortgage $75. This left a balance of 
$40.69 to the good, which speaks well 
of the success of the project and the 
management under which the club is run. 
That the club paid its own way last sea- 
son means much. 
In the grocery store, as heretofore, 
will be found a full line of staple and 
fancy groceries, including the S_ S. 
Pierce goods. Mr. Lycett always en- 
deavors to keep up-to-date in this respect 
and any article in the grocery line which 
the most fastidious may desire may usu- 
ally be found here. 
In one corner of the store may be 
found an up-to-date ice chest for butter, 
cheese, eggs and cream. He also 
carries bakery products, fresh from the 
bakery at Manchester each day. 
In the construction of the store noth- 
ing is left undone in making it up-to-date 
and modern. An electric coffee grinder 
is among the new equipment. 
The building is lighted by electric 
lights, and heated by a hot water system. 
The large basement will be used for 
storage purposes. Kehoe Bros. of Mag- 
nolia were the builders. We call at- 
tention to Mr. Lycett’s adv. on another 
page. 
Street Widened. 
No improvement at Magnolia will be 
more appreciated by the summer visitors, 
especially those who drive or motor, 
than that in the square, opposite the post- 
office, whereby the corner of Raymond 
street and the Shore Road was cut off, 
thus considerably widening the street. 
This has always been a dangerous Corner 
and more than one narrow escape has 
been experienced in seasons past, espec- 
ially since the motor cars have been so 
numerous.
