June 11. The excep tional fascination of the Berksliircs for the summer tourist needs no explana tion for one who has enjoyed their un Burpnssed scenery, health-giving ozone, wonderful 1cwh and automobile trips that simply lure the autolst ou and on . until he would forget all business cares and just revel lu pleasure riding mere words fall to do justice. Then there arc the famous hostelrles, known throughout the length and breadth of the land, and c:u beyond our shores, "for their exceptional cuisines, their un failing hospitality nnd, air of comfort and rest on all sides that tempts one to extend his stay to the utmost limit. Small wonder then with the stialn of, Ihe war passed, prosperity budding on all sides and reunited families nil desiring to forget the past nnd enjoy the present thnt the Berkshire country is looking forward to a sunier's busi ness that will eclipse all records. In deed, advance bookings already iudirntc late comcis will hate o step livelj if they would secure any choice in the matter lit accommodations. It has been truly said that iu the Berkshire Hills lie health and happiness. To go there once is to go again, and to go there the secoud time Is to be come a regular visitor. They form one of New England's greatest pleasure re sorts, uud lu the matter of these resorts New Knglaud is peerless. Wcllsprlng of Health For the ncutiouist seeking, ns it were, a ueurby wellspnug of health and happiness, there is no spot thut can surpass these glorious hills. They afford practically everything the most ardent tourist could desire, a wealth of green fields and hillsides, fas cinating forest streams, exquisite lakes and mountain country unmaled In its distinct indiiduulltr. They hae the exceptional advantage of being within striking distance of the big cities, so that one can keep in touch, if necessar, with affairs of the world without scii ous interruption to his vacation plans, lhcy are so popular and so attractive that each season sees the torn 1st ex tending his stnj to take full advantage of nature's wealth. All want to enjoy the summer at its best and then linger to live in its unrivaled autumn season. The Housatouic rier and its tribu taries, the Shcpang and Naugatuck, af ford excellent facilities for boating and canoeing besides adding immensely to tuo picturesque surroundings. The Bcrkshlrcs are second to none as the summer home of wealth and fashion. All have heard of Lenox, in many re spects the most exclusive summer colony iu the east; of Stoekbridgef the home of the Meltcns, Choatcs nnd other digni taries; of Norfolk, of I,co, the Barring tons and North Adams nnd Wllllnms town witli Its famous "Old Grejlock" peak, and its numeraus lesser heights. Tor the golf enthusiast, this country is a veritable paradise, as it nbouuds In links, not only Idenilv nrennred by na ture, but kept up as only the desire for me oest can nlTorcl. Golfing parties re gard the Bcrkshlrcs ns their mecen lliey cannot only play the game under the best possible ooinlitlnn. but nnd everything right nt hand to mako their outing an unqualified success lour after jcar thousand find here restiuiness and ease for brain and body, garnering new strength tor work or pleasure of other mouths. It was this same charm that led many men of wenlth to establish great estates among surroundings that more resemble the beautiful landscapes of old England thnn auj other region in America. In addi tion to these great estates of the wealthy theie arc numerous camps and bunga lows which may no secured nt a reason able lentnl, notably about Lake l'on- toosup ond Lake Onoto, both of these beautiful sheets of water being fairly burrounded with attractive sites. AVIicn it comes to accommodations cither foi the day visitor or one plan ning a stav, the Berkshircs are second to none, cither ns to desirability or rates. Thus at Adams, a favorite spot :or manj, one nnus tnc ureyiocK and the Kcnesiw I(ousc, both deservedly popular, as well ns many smaller places, ana in North Adams, wlilcti needs no introduction to the tourist, tho New Richmond, the Wellington, nnd the Berkshire. North Adams is the favorite starting 'point for parties planning to nscend Mount Grcylock. They stnrt out in the afternoon, spend the night on the mouhtnin to enjoy the beautiful sun rise view fiom the top of thH, the high' est peak in the state, ant then journev leisurely back to their stopping place in time for breakfaHt. Mount Grejlock Is said to be geologically one of the oldest peaks in the world, one of the first bits of land tb appear above the prehistoric seas. Also from North Adams many par ties start along the Old Mohawk Trail, with its well-known Trail Top Inn and Trading Tout where one may find rest nnd refreshment nnd incidentally pick up n number of interesting souvenlis. This inn is well called "the Top of the World" with Its line view of no less than nineteen mountain peaks nnd scen ery thnt baffles description. The Trnil may be followed for its entire length by the pedestrian Into the Connecticut Vnllej.

But none look out on the Atlantic with a finer, broader view than Narragansett. The beach, more than a mile long, slopes gently to the ocean. The many hotels of the resort stand on tree-shaded sites, but are open to the ocean breezes. A network of perfect motor roads lead out of Narragansett through one of the most picturesque sections of New England. Off the rocky head lands of the shore the angler will find the bebt of deep sea fishing. At the Point Judith Country Club are all the recreations for a delightful Summer vacation golf, polo, tennis. The one distinctive feature above all at Narragansett is its Casino the indoor playhouse of cottage dweller and hotel visitor. Here, after the morning on the beach, all Narragansett gathers for an hour of pleasant converse and refreshment. Here, in the late afternoon, meet the summer colony for tea and "dancing, and with the evening comes Narragansett society and nearby summer home owners to attend the brilliant enter tainments. The best hotels are Massasoit Gladstone Metatoxet Imperial Revere House Atlantic House The last three are on the water front. CAPE COD MASSACHUSETTS Shores washed by ocean and bay Forests jewel-bedecked by sparkling lakes Beaches of satin-soft white sand Green Meadows rioting in wild flowers from spring to fall Birds and water fowl darting to cover at unex pected turns in the road. There is no more delightful place to spend your vacation than historic Cape Cod. And more than the setting in which you are to play the role of Idler is your company of interesting Cape Cod people. The Cape Cod fisherman, no longer a sea-farer, is your guide, and, like all people who live in the open, is a philos opher who will so mingle your outdoor life with tales of experience, myth and mystery that you will live in an atmosphere of romance.
