as an Office, as has been stated, but as a
sort of clubhouse for the Presidents Of

The summer executive Offices will be a
mile away, in the rooms of the building
Chief Telegrapher Smithers of the White
House has been arranging his special
wires which will connect the summer
capital with the world at home and over
seas.
The President is not expected to visit
these offices, which will be In charge OF
Secretary Hilles and a picked squad Of
stenographers and clerks. His secretary
will motor out to Parrametta each morn
ing with such documents as need spe-
cal attention and after receiving the
days instructions will return to Bev-
erly village.
This village is one Of the Oldest in
New England having been settled in
1880 only a decade after the Pilgrim
fathers landed on Plymouth Rock. fifty
miles to the south by the way the bird

ing been an Independent incorporated
Gown for 243 years.
By way Of emphasizing the contrasts
wrought by time they will show you
in the Essex county records a pc

in 1871. to change the name of the set

view of Beverly harbor and the sea.
The estate of the late Henry w. Pea
body is an ample mansion of twenty
two large rooms of which that already
occupied by Mrs. Taft commands the
best sea view and the full exposure to
the sea breeze. The Presidents study
looks familiar to those who visited
him at Burgess point during the two
summers past. for the desk and chairs
used in that former summer home have
been presented to him by it's owner,
Mrs. r. b. Evans. The Tafts sorely
regretted the removal of the Evans
cottage from Burgess point to Marble
head. for they could get no other
suitable house directly upon the sea.
But although Parrametta is mile far
ther from the beach, it is nevertheless
mile nearer to the Presidents ia
vorite playground the Myopia Golf
Club. The former executive cottage is
being cut in two sections, which will
be ferried across Salem bay on pom
toons. At Marblehead it will be put
together again on lot adjoining the
Crowninshield estate and the space
which it VIII leave upon the beach at
Burgess point is to be transformed
into an Italian garden.
The garage at Parrametta will &C
commodate three of the four White
House motor cars that will be shipped
UP from Washington-the big summer
touring car. Mrs. Tafts electric buggy
and the automobile baggage wagon.

the entire north shore.

From these same sands is viewed the

Through the whistling sleet and snow,
Like a sheeted ghost the vessel swept
Towrds the Reef of Normans Woe.
Sometimes the President motors south
from Beverly to Marblehead Neck, there
to stop at the Eastern Yacht Club, where
fashion comes to sail and dine and dance
especially while the eastern squadron
keeps its anchors in these sands.
But Mr.. Taft's yachts, the Mayfower
