NORTH SHORE BREEZE and Reminder 47 
Here. PRESTON life is now on in full swing. The 
-* Beach Bluff hotel is returning to the activities that 
make it one of the liveliest hotels on the North Shore. 
This week saw the big influx of August visitors and many 
enjoyable events are being planned by the management 
for the month. Many always leave the hotels with the 
end of July, some to return home, others to pass on to 
other resorts and to the mountains. Practically every 
room is engaged for August. 
The guests of the Preston are very enthusiastic over 
the excellent dance music furnished by the Symphony 
orchestra under the direction of Henry Eichiern. Scores 
of society folk from the nearby cottages, friends of 
guests, together with many others from all sections of the 
North Shore frequent the evening dances. The popularity 
of the weekly Saturday evening dances is attested to in 
the large attendance.

L NCOLN HOUSE, Swampscott, will be a most busy 
place the next few weeks, as every apartment in the 
large hotel is taken for August. The house has had a 
surprisingly good season this year, in view of the slow 
season which some hotel men complain of and this is 
due in no small measure to the many improvements which 
have been made on the house itself and grounds. 
August visitors at the Lincoln House also include: 
R. L. Clark of Cleveland; W. H. Warner and wife of 
East Orange, N. J.; Mrs. Fred A. Smith, Boston; ja gl 
Merlet, Boston: Mr. and Mrs. William L. Welsh, Phila- 
delphia. 
During the week a very comfortable change has been 
made in the Lincoln House equipment by the addition 
of a reading room, a small.room, on the first floor ad- 
joining the main dining room which has been very re- 
cently decorated and furnished to afford a quiet room 
apart from the general public rooms of the house. It 
is furnished in rustic furniture with walls tastily decor- 
ated in browns, and a few choice pictures. There are 
also facilities in this room for.writing, and it has already 
proved to be one of.the most popular parts of the hotel. 
It is expected that soon plans. will be on exhibition
