the north shore. A drive from the
station of about two miles over a per-
feet road through a wood of pine and
hemlock brings one to Woodbury.
Point, where is situated the summer
home of President Taft.
The house is a large, rather pictur-
esuue affair of twenty-five rooms and
servants quarters, surrounded by
green lawns of three or more acres.
Huge trees are everywhere, even to
the waters edge, as they are all along
the length of the cape; beautiful
flower gardens, with rustic seats
and arbors, where one can pass hours
looking out on a scene that Is never
twice the same. l doubt If anywhere
on the whole New England coast can
be found a scene to rival the one to
be seen from this point. For miles
down the shore one can catch glimpses
of palatial homes of 80 to 100 and more
rooms, with wide lawns and flower
gardens, some with sandy beach at
the end of the lawn; others with huge
powders against which the ocean is
always breaking, sending the spray
high in the air.
Woodbury. Point marks the northern
boundary of Salem harbor. Across
from this point is Juniper point and
the Willows, and away in the distance

made memorable by Longfellow's poem
"The Wreck of the Hesperus," and
Eastern point, making the entrance
to Gloucester harbor on the north. The
sea is alive with vessels, from the big
four-master to the dipper fishing trout
and pleasure yachts and power boats
of all kinds and sizes, and over all the
blue sky of summer, with its soft,
f1eecy clouds, or again with dark
