tionists Pleased With Outlook.

BEVERLY. Mass. juno Sensational
Independence day is always the signal
for opening the real Summer season
with Sest of such momentum that
1t lasts until frost drives the residents
indoors for the greater part of their
pleasures
Washington folk are finding delight
in some one of the colonies dotting
the shore all the way from Nahant
Ia Cape Ann. Thers are four embas-
sizes and three legations already estah-
lshe0 for the Summer on the North
Shore, and, Of course, this adds to
the pleasure of the washington COL
oniStS. numbering larger than ever this
season. With the closing of school
ard college, and with commencement
programs over, the young folks are
again on the North Shore. and there
are very few Shutter&d cottages to be
found in any of the colonies,
Foi the holiday one o: the most
Interesting offerings will be the an

entIles from many fcmouS stables in

rake things interesting until after
Labor day. The country clubs. espe-
cisliv Myopia and Essex County. are
centers of interest with their attrac-
tons in the way Of golf and tennis
and the usual social diversions. Many
cf the North Shore hotels opened for
the season this week sn6 there are
En- unusual number OF reservations for
Washington people.
With the British. German. Italian
and Argentine embassies, the Polish,
Sianiese and Switzerland legations es-
tebljshed on the North Shore, there will
be much entertaining in honor Of the
6iulouats. There are many Washing
ton cottagers along the shore who are
among the leaders in the way Of enter
tanning. and much is done for the Dip
lnmats to make their residence FOR
future seasons assured
Invitations continue to 60 from the
North Shore to Secretary of Commerce
Herbert c. Hoover. Republican nominee
for President. and Mrs Hoover to spend
some time on the North Shore. The
mayor of Beverly was the first to ex-
tend en- Official invitation and he pic
tlfred Beverly as an ideal vacation city.
The mayor of Gloucester followed with
an invitation to the Cape Ann city and
officials of other communities. from Ma
liant to Cape Ann. have dilated upon
the allurements of their own towns.
However, there seems to be only the
slightest possibility that Secretary
Hoover will come to Beverly or any Of
the North Shore towns for other than a
brief tarry, and If he does he will be
the guest Of friends in the cottage col
nnies. More than ever this Summer
there is a distinct Washington touch to
the colonies. with so manv of the diplo-
matte set and so many who are promi-
rent in the official life in the Capital in
residence.
Mr.. and Mrs Wallace Murray of
Washington have been enjoying the
charm Of Junetime visit TO the North
Shore. where they have been guests of
Mr.. and Mrs Charles A. Layman, also
from the Capital. at Burberry Ledge.

LAymans in the Eastern Point district

fairs we're given in honor of the Muir

Ambassador from italy TO the United
states, has established the Summer en-
bassy. 1t Is one Of the most interesting
OF locations for the diplomat.
On one side Of the point is the open
sea. and on the other the busy and pic
tlresque Gloucester Harb0r, always live
~ with fishing and pleasure craft. The
embassy has been established in the
Sleeper cottage and quarters for at
taches Of the embassy have been taken
ID nearby cottages. Ambassador de
Martina Is no stranger to the North
Shore. Two seasons ago he was at Bev-
eriy Farms and found the delightful
stretch Of Seacoast so interesting that
when the opportunity arrived the en-
bsssy was again established in one of
the colonies.
Mfr. Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes of
the United States Supreme Court and
Mrs. Holmes are again at their Summer
home at Beverly Farms for the long
until the Supreme Court resumes it's
sessions In the Autumn. The Summer
residence Of Justice and Mrs. Holmes
was for many years the home Of his
father, the poet, Oliver Wendell Holmes.
From the velvety lawn fronting the
rather plain-looking cottage stretches a
rare vista Of the sea and shore The
white lights at Bakers Island seem but
a short distance away. while Marble
head. with its harbor, lively on racing
days, is just beyond. There Is a beau
tiful garden on the Holmes estate and
IN IL Just nov the roses are blooming
Mrs Holmes finds especial delight
among the flowers, which are beginning
TO brighten the estate Mr.. Justice and
Mrs. Holmes were among the last TO
give up the horse-drawn carriage, but
today with so many motors on the road
there Is little pleasure in carriage riding
However. they often enjoy a ride
through the wood roads which abound
