Waterfront, North Haven.

Waterfront, North Haven.

"From Harper's Bazaar, which is my Bible, I learn that the Boston group in North Haven {an island in Maine} frown on new garments in their summer colony, and that a man in a new pair of sneakers is snubbed. 'The older the clothes, the bluer the blood,' says the writer....I am aging a pair of sneakers and a jacket in case I should meet a Bostonian in warm weather.''

-- E.B. White, 1944.
