NORTH SHORE 
Vol. XIII 
SOCIETY NOTES. 
THE NORTH SHORE gains in popularity from year 
to year as a winter resort—that is very evident from 
the increasing number of families that keep their houses 
open all winter and who spend practically the whole of 
the winter here. There are today more than half a hun- 
dred families who are still at their cottages and will re- 
main all winter, between Beverly and Magnolia. The 
opening of the Essex County club at Manchester as a 
year-round rendezvous for lovers of out-door sports 1s a 
decided addition to the winter attractions. Skiing, skat- 
ing, coasting and all the other out-door diversions so popu- 
lar at the clubs, will draw many to the club all winter.
