INDIAN Summer on the North Shore 
most beautiful seasons of 
all the year. Those who live here the 
year round and those of the 
folk who have come early each season 
is one of the 
summer 
for many years and stayed late, do not 
have to be told this—we speak chiefly for 
those summer visitors who have been 
here but a few weeks and are now about 
to leave, thinking cold weather near. 
Winter is yet far off—two months at 
least and possib'y three. Tf this seecan is 
in keeping with those of the last ten 
years, the warm, sunny days will continue 
way until Thanksgiving Day, 
though the evenings are cool. Ina 
week or two the leaves will begin to 
color. Then will follow a period when 
all the country is in its most splendid 
dress and the hills and valleys will be 
masses of yellow and red, olive and gold. 
Then come the days of most enjoyment 
even 
—for the intense heat of the summer is 
gone, the air is bracing and inspiring to 
action, the woods are more beautiful than 
a‘ any other time, and out-door life is a 
joy beyond telling. 
The autumn just beginning promises 
to be even more beautiful than its prede- 
cessors. A late spring always bespeaks 
a late fall and if snow flies before Christ- 
mas it will be surprising. 
scores of summer folk who have left 
early in September in other seasons, are 
preparing to stay on the shore until late 
October or even longer. A few will 
continue a practice of late years—keep- 
ing their summer house open all winter 
and running down every Friday for a 
pleasant week-end in the country. 
PRESIDENT Taft, speaking at the Bos- 
ton Chamber of Commerce banquet 
Tuesday night, emphasized his liking for 
the North Shore in the following words: 
“*T am grateful for the hospitable recep- 
tion which I have had on the North 
Shore of Massachusetts. A vacation 
which I had planned of more than two 
months has been whittled down to a lit- 
tle more than one month; but every 
minute of it] have enjoyed. The brac- 
ing and pure air, the beautiful roads, the 
fine golf links, the prosperous towns and 
villages the intelligent and considerate 
people, all have contributed to make my 
stay a delightful one. The beauties of 
that region are nothing but an expansion 
and enlargement of the wonderful park 
system and suburbs of Boston. I have 
attempted to keep within the speed limit 
and before a broadminded judge I could 
establish this by satisfactory evidence. 
But it has not prevented me from motor- 
‘ng into every village and town and 
countryside in Essex County. Iam de- 
lighted at the prespect of returning here 
next | when I hope and 
piay that no tariff bill will shorten my 
days of leisure.’

Cincinnati, Ohio, Sept. 14th, 1909. 
Editor of the Breexe 
Dear Sir:—Having arrived safely at 
home with my family and with oppor- 
tunity fora retrospect on the summer 
which we have just spent at Manches- 
ter, I would ask a few lines in your val- 
uable paper to deplore the need of a 
summer hotel in your beautiful town. 
In recent issues of your paper I have 
noted an agitation for a new hotel on the 
site of the Masconomo. With this agi- 
tation, I am thoroughly in accord and JI, 
for one, would be an annual patron of 
such a new hotel. 
I and my family spent this summer. at 
the Masconomo. It will be our last. 
Laying aside all inconveniences which 
came from an erratic manager, the 
present Masconomo House is, beyond 
question, wholly unable to give summer 
hotel guests the essential comforts which 
make life on the shore desirable. The 
rooms are stuffy and unclean. Gas in- 
stead of modern electric lights, heat the 
rooms at night until staying in them is 
well-nigh impossible - The lawns and 
the yard are neglected, and, altogether, 
the plec2 has the appearance of long 
abandonment. 
At the same time the conditions all 
about the place are in every way favor- 
able to the success of a good hotel, well- 
managed. Several times-we motored up 
and down the shore between Nahant 
and Rockport, always taking the. roads 
nearest the ocean, and at no point. along 
the entire shore did we find a place so 
beautifully situated and so conveniently, 
from a hotel point of view, as the site on 
which the Masconomo now stands. It 
is close by the water and the beach is the 
cleanest along the shore. It is near to 
the railroad station and the postoffice, 
stores and offices are near-at-hand, it is 
in the heart of the beautiful woodland 
road district, and trees about it could not 
be finer and, in fact, there is everything 
there that the heart desires which nature 
can supply. Why the opportunity for a 
good hotel has gone begging so long, is 
something I cannot understand. I well 
know that many of the guests this sum- 
mer feel the same as I, and that if they 
are toreturn next vear, something better 
must be provided than the conveniences 
afforded this year. 
Very traly yours, 
** Cincinnatus. ’’
