Bermuda, "An Ocean Paradise."
Tho Islands of Bermuda are not
so well known. Although they have
been Immortalized in song and story,
it is only of late years that Ameri
can tourists have come to realize
what a wonderful resort they are.
Truly "an ocean paradise." Tom
Moore, the great Irish poet, sang of
Bermuda 'asr- -r
"These leafy isles upon tho ocean
thrown.
Like studs of emeralds o'er a sliver
zone."
Many others equally enthusiastic,
hut less gifted, have re-echoed his
praises.
Tho Citizen Tourists.
The CITIZEN Tours to Bermuda
are for eleven days, personally con-
ducted and Include, in addition to
transportation, hotel accommoda
tions and an excellent program of

Caves and the Devil's Hole.

Carriage drive to Gibb's Hill
Lighthouse.
Steamer trip to Submarine Gard
ens and admission to Aquarium.
Moonlight or Searchlight Trip to
the Reefs.
The Submarine Gardens viewed

most exquisitely tinted growths that
are to be, found at the bottom of the
sea, and In and out among the won
derful flora dart fish of every huo
and form.

chant who had unpacked his fall and
winter stock early In anticipation of
a brisk fall trade. Week after week
tho balmy weather of the early fall
months prompted the average folks
to cling to their summer toggery as
long as possible. And they did. Tho
result was reflected In the stores
and the season opened slowly.
With the coming of the snappy

came also a change and the shopping
section of the city these fine after
noons Is filled with a busy throng of
huyers. Mingling with tho resident
shoppers dally may be seen hund

surrounding territory giving tho city
a truly metropolitan appearance.
It Is with no little pride that it
may be said of Honesdale that for
ordinary or even special require
ments the shopper need look no
further. Every want can be taken
care of by the merchants of this
place, nnd It is a noteworthy fact
that shoppers from many another
community, realizing this fact, set
apart one or more days In the sea

City.
"And say, perhaps you think the
average shopper nowadays doesn't
know just what he, or she wants,"
said a well known merchant to a
CITIZEN man yesterday. "Just ask
any of the clerks and they will tell
you that, in a majority of Instances,
the prospective buyer mentions somo
special offering which has been ad
vertised and these are tho little
things that convince the dealers that
their appropriations for advertising
are bringing results. Very few
shoppers start out from their homes
on blind shopping trips these days.
They Scan the announcements In the
papers before starting away and
usually havo ..a route mapped out
