NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
lg ee) eS ES 
grounds; unequalled for still or surf 
bathing, for boating and cruising 
and racing meets, for ice boating 
and all that goes to make up sea 
shore life. 
And yet for almost three centuries 
this wonderland has been the rare 
gift of Americans and the world 
without due appreciation of its pos- 
sibilities. The sea birds alone have 
known its saline airs. Many a rare 
topographical gem of a situation has 
lain neglected like an uncut jewel 
that is now beginning to glitter from 
polished facets. 
We are in the beginning of a 
movement of the American people 
trying to crowd the coast line like 
the multitude crowding the curb at 
a gala day procession. There is not 
a soul anywhere inland that does not 
sigh for the sea shore, not an Amer- 
ican family anywhere that does not 
today crave a sea shore home from 
cottage to mansion proportions. 
These prosperous inland dwellers 
know there is a sea shore of brim- 
ming breakers, but they know noth- 
ing of the joy of this life of rest and 
recreation by the sea until they go 
and then they are slaves to the idea 
of a sea shore home ever after. Hv- 
ery town from Cape May to Bar 
Harbor knows them. To see and 
know a genuine sea shore enthusiast 
you must get a westerner after he 
has gotten the briny flavor of wind 
and wave. He becomes almost a 
fanatic in his zeal about sand dunes 
and salt and is an inveterate sum- 
mer sojourner by the sea. 
And this increase every year in 
the summer colonies from the south- 
ern and middle states, and even 
from the far Pacific coast is signifi- 
The summer population has 
doubled within the last ten years 
and its increase is more rapid each 
season, but the sea shore lands are 
not doubling nor increasing in area. 
The available market supply is de- 
creasing rapidly as seen by the daily 
report of such sales to people from 
all sections of the country and 
abroad. One can hardly pick up a 
daily paper without becoming aware 
of this fact. One of the largest Bos- 
ton dealers has a standing cash of- 
fer for all sea shore acreage and that 
anywhere. A word to the wise is 
sufficient.

eackling furiously, said: ‘‘I know 
what is the matter with that chick-

somewhere and has forgotten where 
she laid it.’’

Great Real Estate Issue. 
On April 2 the Boston Evening 
Transeript will print a generous

Summer Time Table June 30. 
The summer train schedule of the 
Boston & Maine will go into effect 
at 12.05.a. m., Monday, June 30, and 
continue until Saturday, Oct. 8. 
With the opening of the summer 
traffic the management of the Bos- 
ton and Maine and the Maine Cen- 
tral roads will grant a 10-day stop- 
over in Portland to all persons hold- 
ing limited return tickets. This 
change is the result of negotiations 
by the Portland board of trade and 
is expected to add to the coffers of 
Portland merchants from _ visitors 
who will take advantage of the priv- 
ilege of extending their tickets 10 
days without added cost. The or- 
der for this privilege will become 
effective May 1 and remain in force 
until Oct. 22, beyond which the priv- 
ilege will not be extended.

tices appear in The Breeze.
