6 Capital’s Colony Enjoying Rare North Shore Weather Cooling Breezes Wafted in From Ocean—Presi dent and M rs. Coolidge Holding to Quiet Vacation Program. BEVERLY. Mass.. Saturday, July 11. —Rare July weather, cooling breezes wafted In from the Atlantic, gardens abloom and social activities ceaseless, have given the \\ ashington colonists and sojourners along the North Shore an experience of rare de light. The country and yacht clubs along the shore have planned pro grams that carry through until after Labor day. Over at White Court, where the Pres- I idem and Mrs. Coolidge are spending i the Summer, the vacation program so well 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 allv 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 a 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 Mayflower 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 a 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 Mayflower 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 embassy 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. Ambassador de Mar tino has a delightful place for the Bummer, and the attaches of the em 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 a varied prelude to the so cial activities. Over at Manchester the British embassy is nicely settled, while at Magnolia Baron Maitzan, the Herman Ambassador, 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 ning for a stay that will cover prac tically all of the business usually transacted in Washington. "Tommy” Leiter, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Leiter of the Washington colony at Beverly Farms, is develop ing into quite a yachtsman, as well as a horseman. He handles the helm on one of the crafts so popular with the young folks along the North Shore, and his yacht is entered in the Man chester Yacht Club races for the sea son. Mrs. John Ballantine Pitney, sister of Mrs. Leiter. is to spend the Midsummer at Edgewater, the beau tiful Leiter Summer home on the water- front at Beverly Farms. Miss Natalie Hammond, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Hays Hammond and popular in the younger society set in the Capital, is to spend most of the Summer on the North Shore at the Lookout Hill estate of her parents. * Miss Elizabeth Hammond, sister of Mr. Hammond, also is at Lookout Hill for the season. Mrs. R. H. Bastido, with her daugh ter, Miss Mary Griffin, and her sons, R. B. Griffin and F. F. Griffin, nre on from Washington to spend the Rummer on the North Shore.

Miss Griffin devoting much time to riding over the picturesque bridle paths, while the sons are spending much of their time on the tennis courts, ranked among the best on the shore. Mr. and Mrs. David Lawrence are expected to spend much of the Sum mer at the North Shore and will find a Summer home in Swampscott, the Summer capital town. They will find many Washington friends on the North Shore this Summer. Mr. Edwgrd T.
