AN INTERESTING ISLAND TOWN AND

| A correspondent of the Rockland
Daily Star says of North Haven:
There are no frills or society re-
Straints upon the summer visitors here.
Everyone acts naturally and dresses to
suit the environment, which is nature.
There are no rounds of hot suppers,
pink teas, germans or stiff-starched CO.
tilliOns, and no lying abed until noon.
Everybody is up with the sun and out
in the sunshine, either at sea or on
land. From the number of Boston
people here, either as cottagers or as
guests, North Haven may well be term
ed New Boston.
The wonderful progress of North
Haven as summer resort continues.
Building operations through the winter
and spring have been extensive, and
thousands of dollars have been spent
here by the cottagers.
