GOOD OLD TOWN OF ROCKPORT 


POEM: 


“The More Abundant Life’’ 
by Louise D. Chamberline 


—_—_—_—_— 


Gloucester, Cape Ann — First 
white man to visit its shores 
was Thorwald in 1004. Harbor 
called by Norsemen “‘Krossanes.” 
Gosnold landed here in 1602 and 
found the place had been used 
as a base by Portuguese fisher- 
men. In 1605 Champlain sailed 
by the Cape but did not land. 
The next year, September 1606, 
he entered the harbor which he 
named Le Beauport and made a 
map of it. Attacked by 200 In- 
dians and sailed away the next 
day. In 1614 Capt. John Smith 
named it Cape Ann after Anne 
of Denmark, mother of King 
Charles I. First permanent set- 
tlement of the Massachusetts 
Bay Colony in 1623. 


Stage Fort Park at westerly 
entrance of city. Site of settle- 
ment of Massachusetts Bay 
Colony, 1623-24. Tablet in com- 
memoration of that fact placed 
on face of large boulder. Conant, 
Half Moon and Stone beaches. 


Rafe’s Chasm and Norman’s 
Woe. Scene of “Wreck of the 
Hesperus.” At Magnolia, Hes- 


perus avenue. Fissure in solid 
rock cliff is 60 feet deep and 
12 feet wide. 


Mother Ann profile in Stone 
discovered in 1892 by Capt. 
William Thompson of Salem at 
tip end of Eastern Point. Dog 
Bar breakwater extends from 
a half mile long, completed in 
1904 and extends from this 
point. On Eastern Point are 


many of the show residences of

WHITHER? 





SINCE THE LAST issue of the 
Shore things have happened, epochal in 
their import. The groggy old world 
emerging from the Great War was just 
coming back on an even keel, having 
been knocked down until the crosstrees 
were buried in water, when another 
hurricane struck her squarely amid- 
ships and again thrust her on her beam 
ends and now the good ship wallows and 
strains to right herself and square away 
on a course of sanity. Excuse mixed 
metaphors—if you detect any. 


First that world stabilizer, King 
George died. Sig Mussolini had gone 
off on the African rampage. Sick at 
heart the King, dreading another World 
War drench of the kingdoms best blood 
sank beneath the terrific strain and was 
gathered to his fathers. Then came Ed- 
ward the Eighth and the opening days 
of his reign have not been auspicious. 
Anthony Eden bravely met the Roman 
challenge with England’s fleet. But 
Trafalgar has not been repeated. Sold 
out by the duplicity of Laval and Amer- 
ican sanctions—both political sides tak- 
ing no chances with the Italian vote in 
this critical Presidential year in New 
York—England has suffered the most 
humiliating discomfiture in its history. 
But there’s a saying that the English 
always lose every round but the last 
when she scores a knockout. Time will 
tell. 


Then Herr Hitler, seizing opportunity 
by ‘the forelock repeats the old Teutonic 
trick of making scraps of paper of 
treaties and boldly leaping the barrier 
takes possession of the Nomans’ land 
across the Rhine and calmly asks what 
are you going to do about it? 


Japan with its modern Genghis 
Khans is moving westward with terrific 
speed halted only by Russia. China is 
virtually gobbled up. Looking eastward 
the Nipponese, according to newspaper 
reports, are reported to have made over- 
tures to a South American power for a

cession of the Galapagos islands in ex- 
change for a nagreement to come to the 
defense of that power should an aggres- 
sor make such a course necessary. Gal- 
apagos a short distance from Panama. 
What power does Japan have in mind? 
For the Japanese hold that if America 
can decree and maintain a Munroe doc- 
trine for the western hemisphere what 
logical objection to her assuming the 
same suzerainty over Asia and Austral- 
sia? And why, indeed, when you come 
to analyize it? The only doubt about it 
is whether Japan can back up her pre- 
tensions with sufficient force to comply 
respect and acquiescence. More than 
ever this is the age of the Right of 
Might, tooth and claw. 


Nor is this virus of economic unrest 
confined to these major powers. Even 
Spain and Portugal which ten years ago 
were thought firmly anchored to the an- 
cient teachings, civic, economic and 
clerical, have completely revolutionized 
the old order of things. Down in Mex- 
ico the same state of affairs. Verily the 
world is upside down. 


The death of Kipling marks the pass- 
ing of the world’s greatest poet and lit- 
erary light of the century from 1850 on. 
He too—the Empire’s greatest exponent 
—went saddened to his death hastened 
by the debacle of his latest days. He 
sleeps beside the men who have made 
England great—in war, literature and 
science. It is fitting that justice should 
come to him, although posthumously. 





While there is no mistaking the omin- 
ous important of the big black clouds 
rolling steadily eastward from the Pa- 
cific front, the United States has not 
been embroiled. Fortunately the elder 
statesmen of all political parties are as 
one on the most important essential that 


America shall not become involved in 


any way in these foreign entanglements. 
Even our disarmament friends now per- 
ceive clearly that our salvation depends 
upon adequate naval and land defenses, 
mainly the former. 


In this country floods and droughts 
of a magnitude not witnessed in a cen- 


His was no lip service: The establishment of a Fish- 
erman’s Home for aged and penniless mariners; the gift 
of a Fisherman’s Rest at Beachbrook instead of an un- 
marked mound in the Potter’s field; the substantial dona- 
tions to the local hospital and charitable institutions and 


the numerous unrecorded deeds of kindness while he lived 
all evinced the depth, sincereity and measure of the man. 
And in this worthy work, sitting at his elbow was that 
devoted helpmate who ranks with the notable women of 
Their like may not pass our way again.

be tolerated. 


The time has come for sober thinking 
and sane action in the halls of legisla- 
tion. Gen. Pershing voiced a warning 
at the graduation at West Point that it 
was only by adequate protective meas- 
ures could this country be insured 
against aggression. Let no one scoff at 
such warning. Smug in our notion that 
3000 miles of water on every frontier 
but the north protects us from inva- 
sion we have laughed such prophecies 
off—especially the inlanders. 


Time and space and deep sea water 
have been annihilated by modern inven- 
tion. Within a year the giant Zepps 
will make the Atlantic crossing in 30 
hours. One of these air frigates carry- 
ing tons of destructive matter and 
gasses, screened by an artificial clouds, 
can wipe out our largest cities in a 
night—Chicago as easily as New York. 
What might a fleet of a hundred of these 
do in one night? Then there is the per- 
fected subarine. It ravaged our New 
England coastline in the World War al- 
most within sight of Cape Ann. It can 
do so again and more effectually. The 
grim and sobering thought is thrust un- 
welcomely home that, will he, nil he, the 
time is not so far away when the United 
States must fight defensively, if not of- 
fensively, for its very existence. From 
the Pacific as well as the Atlantic. We 
might as well face this fact and prepare 
for it.

BEARSKIN NECK (ROCKPORT) 
ART GALLERY 





Arthur C. Smith of Rockport and 
St. Petersburg, Fla., has opened his 
gallery for another season. 

Those who are “art hungry” may 
sup on good wholesome art without 
a cover charge and study the tech- 
nique of the paintings now on dis- 
play. 

Many distinguished artists who 
are either resident or summering 
at this picturesque town are repre- 
sented by some of their best work. 

Mr. Smith has made the rounds 
of the artists’ studios and picked 
out little gems to be displayed on 
the gallery walls. Many of the 
small paintings would brighten up 
a dark space in any home, and the 
most fastidious collectors would 
deem it an honor to own most any 
of the paintings. 

It would seem that the depres- 
sion has brought the artists down 
from painting mammoth canvases 
to the small size paintings which 
no doubt are nearer to what the 
public can pay for. Many of these 
are direct studies from nature and 
completed in one sitting, with all 
the freshness of the early morn- 
ing’s dew in them. 


Aldro T. Hibbard, N.A., tops the 
list of exhibitors. His small snow 
pictures of scenes in Vermont, ex- 
press so nicely the feeling of win- 
ter when all is snowy white. Hib- 
bard never disappoints his public 
with his masterful paintings. 


We also like Galen J. Perrett’s 
work, his marines are so colorful; 
they are rendered with precision, 
the swirl of the sea as it crashes 
over the rocks has a_ beautiful 
foamy qaulity which many of the 
painters of the sea do not seem to 
register. Stanley W. Woodward, 
a new arrival in the Rockport Art 
Colony, is classed with the best 
painters of the sea. His two ma- 
rines are sparkling. Local sea 


painters are Parker Perkins and 
Gilbert Margeson, who are also 
worshippers of the angry sea. 
They work the best while the waves 
dash high against the rocky shore. 

Our versatile Anthony Thieme 
can paint a pictorial subject which 
pleases the public taste, and, what 
would an exhibition be along the 
North Shore without the famous 
Motif No. 1? 


Marguerite Pearson has a lovely 
painting entitled “Playing the Me- 
lodeon,” a nice composition and is 
painted charmingly. 


Others who have good work on 
display are Emile Gruppe, Frank 
Rines, Grace Russell, M. Bennett- 
Brown, Raymond Carter, Joseph 
Higgins, Otis P. Cook, Jr., Mary 
W. Wagner, A. F. Jacobson, Yar- 
nell Abbott, and J. Eliot Enneking. 


The public is cordially invited to 
attend, and is open daily to Sep- 
tember 15. 

— NEMO. 


John Lonergan of New York City 
has been occupying one of the Sav- 
age studios during June. 

Yarnall Abbott of Philadelphia 
has arrived at his Main st. studio 
for a stay late into the season. 


The Misses Cora and Marie Guil- 
lion of Philadelphia are again 
domiciled at the studio in Dock sq. 
which they have occupied for sev- 
eral seasons. 

Frederick Lebrun, an artist with 
Mrs. Lebrun, have taken one of the 
Cleaves studios on Pigeon Hill for 
a stay into September. 


J. Eliot Enneking of Brookline 
and Rockport, is holding an exhibi- 
tion of his oil paintings at the Fire- 
side Studio, 7 Dock sq., Rockport, 
from July 6 to September 15, daily 


from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. except Sun- 
days. The public is cordially in- 


vited to attend the exhibition. 
There are many local scenes of 
Gloucester and Rockport to be 





shown, Connecticut 


also Mystic, 
and Kearsarge, New Hampshire. 
Among the paintings to be on 


display are as follows: “Moat 
Mountain,” “The Spirit of Spring,” 
“Motif No. 1,” “Gloucester Inner 
Harbor,” and many other paintings 
of interest. Mr. Enneking is also 
represented by his work at Rock- 
port Art Association, North Shore 
Arts Association, Gloucester So- 
ciety of Artists, Bearskin Neck 
Gallery, Barn Door and the Art 
Mart in Rockport. 





LITTLE VERSES 
We are gentlemen. 


That neither in our hearts, nor out: 
ward eyes, 


Envy the great, nor do the low despise. 
Abundance is a blessing to the wise: 
The use of riches in discretion lies; 


Learn this, ye men of wealth—a heavy 
purse 
In a fool's pocket is a heavy curse. 


cereere 


Not in the clamor of the crowded 


street— 

Not in the shouts and plaudits of the 
throng, 

But in ourselves are triumph and 
defeat. 


Cn 


The heights by great men reached and 
kept 
Were not attained by sudden flight, 
But they while their companions slept 
Were toiling upward in the night. 


ce ereer 


Our lives are albums written through 

With good or ill, with false or true; 

And as the blessed angels turn 

The pages of our years, 

God grant they read the good, with 
smiles, 

And blot the ill with tears.

GOOD OLD TOWN OF ROCKPORT 


Extends Welcome Hand To Summer Residents --- Taxes Lowered $3.00 
For Current Year --- Fame As Summer and Permanent Home Grows 





ROCKPORT — BY J. ELIOT ENNEKING 








SS DODD ODDO Gn En tin ti tn tp ti tin tin tip tin tin ti tin tin ti in ti tin ti tin ti tia i tin i di di dis Ai di tii di tn tn i i tn i i i i ns nn i a a 


ROCKPORT SEEMS TO BE on the 
down grade — in the right way. The 
assessors announce that they have re- 
duced the rate of taxation from $36 
to $33 for the current season. This is 
the lowest since 1933 when the rate 
was $30. 

The descent has not been easy, but 
the manner in which it has been ac- 
complished may furnish an example to 
all communities, great and small. 

Originally all Cape Ann was the 
town of Gloucester, but in 1840 the 
northeastern section thought it best to 
get set off by itself, and the “harbor,” 
as Gloucester proper was known at the 
time, offered no protest. So in four 
years more the town may, in mid-Sum- 
mer, observe its centennial as a cor- 
porate entity if it so desires and it 
probably does. 

The principal occupation has in the 
long run been fishing. Lacking an in- 
closed harbor the main part of the 


populace either berthed their boats at 
Annisquam or sometimes at Little Good 
Harbor as circumstances placed them. 

However, its citizens energetically 
looked ahead to establishing manufac- 
turing. Accordingly a large cotton 
duck mill—to furnish sails for the Glou- 
cester fleet—was built, and a colony of 
skilled weavers brought over from Eng- 
land. This burned flat Dec. 9, 1883, 
and was never rebuilt. Smaller indus- 
tries, such as an organ factory, ising- 
glass, from fish sounds, and others came 
into existence, but the great boost ahead 
came after the Civil War when the 
demand for building material opened up 
the quarries, some 600 men being em- 
ployed in the most prosperous times. 
But strange to say in the most prosper- 
us era of the building trade, the 1920- 
30 decade, these quarries as a working 
concern practically went out of exist- 
ence. Since then no major occupation 
has come in to take its place. 


Augmented by the abnormal welfare 
costs, the citizens faced one of the most 
difficult problems of any in the state. 
They rallied and took stock. “What 
have we as an asset?” The observing 
made answer. ‘One of the most beau- 
tiful stretches of seashore for Summer 
and permanent homes in the state, the 
possibilities of which are _ scarcely 
scratched.” 


Welcomed Summer People 


For several years past, retired people, 
those with incomes, had discovered in 
Rockport just the ideal conditions of 
living they desired for the Autumn of 
life. ' 


Here was the answer, said the towns- 
people: “Let’s join hands with these 
people, make them welcome as neigh- 
bors, and induce them to bring in their 
friends.” And they went ahead along 
that line. 


The town for some years had an ad- 


Cape ANN SHORE, July 10, 1936 





visory committee which passed upon 
the articles involving expenditure of 
money proposed in the annual warrant 
which were pared down and its recom- 
mendations always followed in the 
main, 

This season the committee was vir- 
tually dominated by a Summer comer 
who had just become a permanent resi- 
dent. The motto was to pare down and 
get down to a_ pay-as-you-go system 
without stretching economy into parsi- 
mony. Its recommendations were adopt- 
ed without ado with the resultant de- 
crease in taxes. For example the po- 
lice wanted a cruising car with radio 
equipment. Granted it was a good 
thing but it must wait for a later date. 
And so down the line to a decrease of 
$3 per thousand. 


In the past five years the Summer 
resident interest in Rockport has grown 
steadily. More and more the little pitched 
roofed colonial bungalows known as 
Cape Cod houses but which are nu- 
merous and perhaps indigenous to Cape 
Ann have been purchased by those who, 
closing a business career, seek a town 
where conditions are quiet and to their 
liking. At present the ratio of Summer 
resident real estate valuation is as three 
to one for the permanents, about the 
same as in Gloucester. 


So, pointed in the direction of mak- 
ing their shore acres more desirable 
from every standpoint to the outsider 
who comes either for a Summer or 
permanent home, the citizens are bend- 
ing every effort to develop the bounti- 
ful excess of natural beauty which they 
have as an asset to its highest possi- 
bility, and it has taken occasion in this 
matter of the constituency of its ad- 
visory board, to show that this feeling 
is no empy gesture and they are not out 
“to soak the rich’ supposedly person 
who comes down for a Summer or per- 
manent home. 


In 1884 the people realizing that if 
a big seawall could be built their harbor 
would become one of the finest in the 
world put the project over. This work 
undertaken and about a third com- 
pleted was abandoned some 25 years 
ago by advice of the army engineers 
and a hard blow struck at the interests 
of the town. 


Yankee Town 


In consequence Rockport remains a 
typically “Yankee” town as regards 
population. The directory and town 
officials contain the names in increasing 
numbers of the descendants of early 
settlers. The opening of the stone 
quarries brought in more reecnt years 
large numbers of Swedish and later of 


the Finnish peoples—all literate to a 
high degree in their own languages and 
English also. They are not much given 
to office seeking but blend quietly into 
the productive activities of the town. 

Recently an effort was made to in- 
terest the national Government into 
completing the unfinished breakwater. 
The argument advanced—and with some 
plausibility—was that if so many mil- 
lions were to be spent on Quoddy, Sandy 
Bay breakwater was equally deserving 
if not more so. Some $5,000,000 would 
have completed the breakwater and giv- 
en employment for several years to ev- 
ery unemployed stone worker on the 
cape. 


The above mentioned summer resi- 
dents who officiated with such marked 
success was Mr. T. H. C. Gibb. 


ST. JOHN’S FAIR 


Beverly Farms 


Even though the exact nature of the 
St. John’s Church fair on Thursday, 
July 30, is to be a deep, dark secret 
right up until the last minute, the 
heads of the various tables and other 
features have just been revealed. The 
rummage table, which always has a 
crowd around it, is under the super- 
vision of Mrs. W. Galbraithe Mitchell 
of Beverly aFrms. This table has such 
a fascination for most people that it 
was found necessary to add a great 
many assistants. All the wonderful 
vegetables from North Shore gardens 
will be sold by a group of ladies with 
Mrs. Charles K. Cummings in charge. 
It seems very appropriate that Mrs. 
Russell Burrage should head the flow- 
er table. The ‘‘useful and fancy” ar- 
ticles table is another popular one 
and the Women’s Auxiliary, with 
Mrs. Bradford H. Burnham at the 
head, has charge of this. Mrs. Thomas 
Barbour will be at te chake and candy 
table, and Miss Eleanor Coolidge, 
with a group of friends, is to be debu- 
tante cigarette-and-balloon salesgirl. 

On that day every one might just as 
well plan to stay all day and lunch in 
the cafeteria which will be run by 
Mrs. Henry Lee; while still on the 
food subject lighter refreshments are 
to be served by the girls’ club of the 
church. One always finds a most 
unique and intriguing grab bag at this 
fair, and this year Miss Frances Fab- 
yan is in charge of it. Games for all 
the shore children and some that will 
even fascinate their elders, are to be 
sold by Mrs. Bayard Warren. 

Books and more books will go like 
lightning with Mrs. Lyon Weyburn at 
the head of this department. The en- 


tertainment and “features” all the 
ideas for various costumes and out 
of the ordinary things, will be direct- 
ed by Mrs. Nathaniel S. Simpkins. 
Mrs. Gordon Abbott, Jr., has quite a 
job on her hands with the placing of 
posters and notices in all the stores in 
the vicinity, while at the head of the 
publicity department is Miss Elise 
Sortwell. 
Gardens 


Another reminder is that there are 
just a few more days to wait until the 
twenty of the North Shore’s most 
beautiful gardens are to be opened to 
the public by the ladies of the North 
Shore Garden Club, with Mrs. W. En- 
dicott Dexter as chairman. * This is 
really a rare opportunity that no lover 
of gardens and places can afford to 
miss.

‘NEVER HAS the North Shore, es- 
pecially Cape Ann, looked as fresh 
and vernal; in few seasons has it been 
equalled. While other sections have 
been searéd by the blistering sun this 
promonotory thrust into the ocean has 
been laved by gentle rains and 
drenched by sea-fog all of which have 
contributed to the most luxuriant 
growth seen in many a year. Old Eng- 
land has been somewhat noted for its 
spring fogs but it has nothing on the 
Cape Ann sector of New England, 
well named in this respect. This is 
especially noticeable to the incoming 
people who make this section their 
home and the change and the cool sea 
air has been most welcome. Especially 
have the conditions favored the trees 
which appear thriftier than ever. 
What a combination, sea and shore, 
broad expanses of ocean and mile on 
mile of virgin woodland—sixteen 
snow-driven beaches—Cape Ann lit- 
erally windswept and sea-washed on 
all sides of the compass. Its roads and 
drives and countryside. Destined to 
be the summer and permanent home 
of a hundred thousand people ere the 
sands of the next twenty-five years 
have rolled down the neck of time’s 
hour glass. Fortunate they who may 
enjoy its privileges.

THE ROCPORT SECTOR

ernment has recently recognized that 
fact by decreeing the erection of a 
$75,000 postoffice —to be erected,

Cape ANN SHORE, July 10, 1936 





MILADY GOES SHOPPING 


Gloucester, Mass. 
Dear Eloise: 


Since I last saw you, I have accepted 
a position as a private secretary to a 
broker, Mr. Marsh. He is a very con- 
servative sort of man, and rather easy 
to work for. I met Mrs. Marsh the 
other day, and she is the exact opposite. 
She told me her whole family history; 
also that of her daughter, Joan, had just 
been married and was on her honey- 
moon. She asked me if I liked swim- 
ming, boating, tennis, dancing and other 
sports, and when I said that I did, she 
thought I would make a good companion 
for her when she went to Gloucester for 
the summer—so here I am—a private 
secretary and a companion. 


Mr. Marsh has been away on a busi- 
ness trip, and I have been almost crazy 
trying to keep up with Mrs. Marsh. We 
just don our bathing suits and she de- 
cides that she wants to go horseback 
riding; then she changes her mind and 
suggests boating—one never knows 
what she is going to do next. 


When Mr. Marsh came back, he told 
us he had bought a house for his daugh- 
ter, Joan (the one who had just been 
married), and he thought it would be a 
good idea if we furnished it for her as 
a surprise. We had several weeks in 
which to do this as Joan and her hus- 
band had planned quite an extensive 
trip. 

However, we thought we had better 
start right away as Mr. Marsh always 
says ““Haste makes waste.” 

Mr. Marsh had already been to the 


\Cooperative Bank to borrow money to 


buy the house. (He always transaces 
business in this way.) He said he se- 
lected this bank because of its efficiency, 
and the facility of the payment plan. 

There were so many things to be done 
that we were in a turmoil as to where 
to begin. 

Then Mr. Marsh mentioned Horn- 
blower and Weeks and said he must 
send a telegram to them about some in- 
vestments he was to investigate. This 
meant nothing to me so I told him I 
would walk around down town and wait 
for him. 

I sauntered along Main street not 
missing a thing in any window, as you 
know how I adore window-shopping. 
Just then a bright-colored awning at- 
tracted my attention—a new store in 
Gloucester—The Mimi Shop. Being a 
woman, and you know what that means, 
I just had to go in and look around. 
They carry all the latest styles at the 
most reasonable prices—culottes, silk 
and cotton dresses, and even formal eve- 
ning gowns. For a minute, I forgot the 
poor bride and started to try on innu- 
merable dresses for myself. I finally 
found one that I just had to have, and 
of course I bought a pair of culottes— 
the most striking shade of blue—every- 
body’s wearing culottes, you know. 
They come in all different shades. 


When I came out of the Mimi Shop, 

I met Mr. Marsh, who had just been in 
the gas and electric companies to in- 
quire about having gas and electricity 
connected in the house. He said he had 
seen an Everhot Automatic Roaster in 
there that he was sure his daughter 
would like, and he wanted me to go in 
to look at it. Oh, Eloise, it was grand. 
It is designed for easy cooking at a sav- 
ing. In one operation, you can cook a 
complete meal, or any of your favorite 
dishes — meats, vegetables, biscuits, 
cakes, pies, pancakes, fried chicken, 
French toast—with complete assurance 
of satisfactory results. 

- Just place the food in the roaster, and 
you need pay no more attention to it.

necessary. Meats baste themselves in 
their own juices. Full flavors and 
health-building mineral and juices are 
retained. I knew this was just the 
thing for Joan as I heard rumors that 
she is like her mother—she never could 
cook! 


Oh, yes, I almost forgot to tell you 
about Mrs. Marsh. She is really a dear, 
but I am afraid she is so busy doing a 
lot of things that she never gets to do 
one thing well. 

The other day she fell out of a speed 
boat going at top-speed and nearly broke 
her neck, but she thought it “Oh so 
thrilling!” because a handsome life- 
guard saved her. 


Now to get back to my shopping list; 
a refrigerator of some sort was inevi- 
table, so we went in to the Cape Pond 
Ice Co. to brouse around and there 
found just what we wanted, the Cooler- 
ator. These are very convenient as they 
need be re-iced only once every four to 
seven days, under ordinary conditions, 
and while re-icing it is not necessary to 
remove the old pieces—no defrosting— 
no mess on the floor. 

After hearing the salesman tell us 
about all the delicious foods that could 
be cooled in this Coolerator, my stomach 
began to feel a bit empty. I was 
tempted to suggest luncheon to Mr. 
Marsh, but he evidently had the same 
idea. We had heard a great deal about 
the Stage Coach Inn so we decided to 
try it. We found it located in Glouces- 
ter on the highway between Gloucester 
and Essex. This old Inn, built about 
1649, is one of the earliest in New Eng- 
land. Here, today, as in days of yore, 
may be found the heritage of State 
Coach days—Food—Rest—Good Cheer 
—and Hospitality, of which the Inn is 
so suggestive. 

After we left the Stage Coach Inn, 
feeling sufficiently replenished, Mr. 
Marsh noted that his finances were be- 
coming depleted, so we went to the Cape 
Ann National Bank to withdraw some 
money. 

Joan had bought some unpainted kit- 
chen furniture, and Mr. Marsh thought 
it would be a good idea if it were all

painted when she returned, so we went 
to L. E. Andrews to buy the paint. 
There was such an assortment of paints 
we were at a standstill. But, knowing, 
Joan liked bright colors, I suggested 
Ivory and red. Of course, Mr. Marsh 
not an expert on house furnishings, left 
the decision to me, so ivory and red it 
was. 

That was really all I meant to do in 
L. E. Andrews, as there was so much 
else to be done; but as I was walking 
out, I spied a breakfast set that would 
go perfectly with the furniture, and so 
inexpensively priced that I suggested to 
was up to me, so I took it. Mr. Marsh 
Mr. Marsh that we buy it. He said it 
is such a dear! 

As we were coming out of L. E. An- 
drews, as luck would have it, I put my 
hand in my pocket and found the list of 
articles that Maybelle, the cook, had 
told me to get in the First National 
Store. No wonder Maybelle sent me to 
the First National Store. They have 
almost everything and what they sell is 
of the best quality. But there was one 
thing that was lacking in our purchases 
and we would not be without them— 
Groton’s Ready-to-Fry Codfish Cakes. 
With my next letter, I will send you a 
carton of them to try—they’re delicious. 

I glanced at my watch and it was two 
forty-five—just time to make a deposit 
of part of my salary at the Gloucester 
National Bank. If I had kept all my 
money with me, I certainly would have 
spent it on the wonderful bargains and 
assortments in the Gloucester stores! 

We dashed home as I thought there 
might be some mail I would have time 
to answer before dinner. The first part 
of the mail was of not much importance 
to me, but I’ll say the last letter was. 
It informed me that Mr. Marsh had a 
son at college who would be home in two 
or three days. That surely is something 
to look forward to. 

Mrs. Marsh has the curlers caught in 
her hair and is screaming madly—I 
suppose I must go and set the captive 
free. 

So long,

TO MY LADY IN SEARCH OF THE PRACTICAL 
RIGHT VALUES AND COMPLETE VARIETY ARE TO BE FOUND IN THE SHOPS OF 





YACHTING 





The yachting season for Cape 
Ann’s four clubs—the Annisquam, 
Eastern Point, Sandy Bay and Con- 
omo—promises to be fully up to the 
activties of the past five years. 
Eastern Point, besides its regular 
schedule on the water has branched 
out into some house and land activi- 
ties which promise to stimulate in- 
terest in this thriving organization. 

Annisquam the oldest organiza- 
tion on the Cape will as usual sail 
its Saturday and Sunday races and 
“in betweens” with the house com- 
mittee arranging the usual Satur- 
day night assemblies and enter- 
tainments. Its schedule begins 
July 4 and ends Labor Day. 


Sandy Bay, third in point of sen- 
iority, retains the atmosphere of 
the old Cape Ann and Gloucester 
elubs which in their beginnings 
were largely made up of permanent 
residents. 

At Rockport the membership 


composition is about fifty-fifty be- 
tween permanent and summer con- 


tingent. As a result at the cen- 
trally located clubhouse the club 
is kept going as an all-year social 
institution where the members 
foregather at all times thereby 
keeping alive the interest and in 
this way has somewhat an advan- 
tage over the others which fold up 
after the season to reopen in the 
midseason. 

The officers of Sandy Bay com- 
prise George A. Lowe, commodore; 
Homer Clark, vice-commodore; Jo- 
seph T. Higgins, secretary and 
treasurer; Joseph F. Lockett, chair- 
man of the house committee and 
Benton A. Story, chairman racing 
committee. The fixture is divided 
into two sections. The first ex- 
tends from June 21, races to be 
held Saturday and Sunday after- 
noons through July 26. The sec- 
ond series will begin August 1 and 
end September 6. 

Sandy Bay day will be held Au- 
gust 21 and will include an open 
regatta in which Conomo and New-

buryport will participate. A race 
to the Isle of Shoals is being con- 
sidered at some time in July. John 
Higgins who officiated acceptably 
in the position last year will again 
serve as judge. 

A part of this schedule brings 
back happy memories of the far 
yesteryear when these Isle of 
Shoals races were on the cards of 
the old clubs. The writer partici- 
pated in a number, generally with 
Horatio Babson in his crack 30, the 
Mignon, one of the fastest boats on 
the coast. And speaking of New- 
buryport, its thriving club of those 
days was always on hand with a 
good representation on the big 
“days” on Cape Ann, with the Rodi- 
gras and Jacoby’s and others of 
the forefront yachtsmen of the fine 
old city by the Merrimac at the 
helm of their boats. Yachting in 
recent years, caused by changing 
conditions appears to have lost 
much of this democracy and neigh- 
borliness of the olden time which 
happily Sandy Bay seems to have 
retained. 


GLOUCESTER, June 27—EKast- 
ern Point Yacht Club inaugurated 
its 1936 racing program today with 
a fleet of 16 in the Triangle and 
Cape Cod Knockabout classes. 

After an hour’s postponement 
there was little air stirring when 
the boats were sent away, the Tri- 
angles to thewestern mark off Mag- 
nolia and return, and the little fel- 
lows over a harbor course. 

Injun got the jump, picked up a 
favoring breeze off the eastern 
shore and opened up on a thrash to 
windward as the air freshened 
from the southwest, finishing four 
minutes ahead of Scalene. 

Clipper overtook Tourareg on the 
winward leg, to take the Cape Cod 
Knockabout honors. The sum-

The Triangles and Stars were

course were better favored and 
managed to catch an air that took 
them to the finish line just within

Anna Vaughn Hyatt, (Mrs. Archer Huntington) sculptor. Its placing suggested by the late 
A. Piatt Andrew. This out-standing work was modeled at the studio of the sculptress at 
Annisquam. The horse was “Frank” of the Gloucester fire department. The original stands 
in Riverside Drive, New York. In addition to the replica here, there are two others — one 

Blois, France, and one in California. “
