September Weather Draws
Throngs to Old North Shore
President and Mrs Coolidge Soon to End Pleasur-
able Vacation Period at Summer Capital
Personal Notes

BEVERLY, Mass. September g.
The coming of September brings to
the North Shore one of the most allur-
ing months of the year-a season un-
like that of many resorts where Labor
day marks the closing of the Summer.
Here on this picturesque stretch of
the Massachusetts coast, where Presi-
dent Coolidge has established the Sum-
mer Capital, and where so many in
the diplomatic and resident set of
Washington have found the life
charming, the season has just begun
to climb it's peak.
Outside of the Magnolia and Gloues-
ter districts, with a small circle in
Swampscott or Marblehcad, society is
largely of the cottage group. Many
Washingtonians own their own homes
on the North Shore and many more
lease attractive places $50 they are not
at all dependent upon hotel life. The
hunting season will not start until
late in the month and then Myopia
district will resound to the baying of
the hounds and the great steeplechase
and other sporting events reach a eli
max in October.
Days are drawing close when Presi-
dent and Mrs. Coolidge will forsake
the charms of White Court in Swamp
scott for the White House in the Ma
tion's Capital, redecorated and done
over while they have been on the
North Shore. Although there has
been much guesSwork as to when the
President and his family would leave.
the stay will be until next week. There
has been a, family reunion at White
Court for John Coolidge, brown as O.
berry and the picture Of health, is
home from the citizens military train
ing camp at Devens, where he was for
the most of August. He is soon to re-
sumo his studies at Amherst with the
opening of the Fall term this month.
These have been rather busy days at
Swampscott, with many official Wis
itors and number of personal friends
dropping in for little chats or stays at
the Summer White House.
When the President and Mrs. Cool
idge return to the Capital friends who
have not seen them all Summer will
realize the value of their Summer stay
on the shore. They both enjoy splen-
did health; the President never looked
better than he did today and Mrs.
Coolidge is as charming as ever, with
her cheeks blooming with color and
her eyes sparkling with the life the
North Shore gives to all who visit 1t.
For the Washington set there was
a gay party tonight at the New
Oceanhouse, where so many of the
Presidents officials aides make their
home. 1t was the annual costume ball
and there were a thousand invitations
sent out all along the North Shore.
