11.-Rare July weather, cooling
breezes waited in from the Atlantic,
gardens abloom and social activities
ceaseless, have given the washington
colonists and sojourners along the
North Shore an experience or rare oe-
light. The country and yacht CLUBS
along the shore have planned pro
grams that carry through until atter
Labor day.
Over at White Court where the Pres
ident and Mrs Coolidge are spending
the Summer, the vacation program so
we'll planned is being carried out. Fol
lowing the issuing of a statement that
the White House rule of not accept
ing the stream of invitations continu-
ally pouring in on them must pre-
vail at White Court also, has resulted
in a let-up in the flow, and for the
President and Mrs. Coolidge there is
Summer in store much to their liking.
Trips TO the historic towns along the
shore visits to some of the shrines,
motoring, trips on the MayfioWer and
the receiving of a few callers provide
variety enough in the program so that
there is pleasure assured them. Mrs.
Coolidge is the same delightful woman
she was in Washington, and is con-
tinually doing things to make life
pleasant. Pink and white seem to be
her favorite colors for Summer day
time apparel. The President is ac-
quiring a sunburn which may later
on develop into a light tan, the sure
sign of ColoniSt who finds life in the
open to his liking. If the President
were to take up golf, he would easily
acquire the sun tan. but later on his
motor trips and his garden strolls and
his sails on the Mayf1ower will show
the result, even if it is a bit slower.
Embassy life is colorful along the
North Shore this season. Down at
Beverly Farms the Italian emba ssy
has been established in the Kaan cot
tage atop Juniper ridge, one of the
most interesting spots in that district,
and in a colony almost park-like in
its prettiness. Amba ssador de Mar
tino has a delightful place for the
Summer, and the attaches of the en-
bassy, who are living at the kaan cot
tage and at other cottages along the
North Shore, are finding pleasure in
their stay. The country clubs have an
appeal. especially Myopia and Essex
County clubs, where they go in for
tennis; and with the fine bathing
beaches, the yachting and other sports,
there is varied prelude to the So
cial activities. Over at Manchester
the British embassy is nicely settled
while at Magnolia Baron Nathan, the
German Amba ssador, is finding new
pleasures at every turn. To the Ital-
ian and German embassy attaches, for
the most part, the North Shore is new
but the British embassy attaches. hav-
ing been on the North Shore last sum-
mer, are finding warm welcomes from
old friends. The embassies will be
maintained on the North Shore until
late in the Autumn, the Italians plan
ming for stay that will cover prac-
tically all of the business usually
transacted in Washington.

Mrs. Joseph Letter of the Washington
colony at Beverly Farms, is develop
ing into quite a yachtsman, as we'll as

much of their time on the tennis
courts, ranked among the best on the
shore.
