teThere is no more attractive place along
the shore for summer COTTAGES" said the
JOURNAL AND COURIER when there were
only few cottages in Woodmont. Now
there are about one hundred, and time is
continually developing the truth of the
statement. Only small number of choice
fronts remain unoccupied.
It's steady growth is owing to the fact
that people like it's pure air and water and
build their cottages for outdoor life.
There is q honey" appearance to them,
indications of comfort within and without
The twenty-four daily trains stopping
there ON the New York and New Haven
railroad leave many guests from all over
the state to enjoy the hospitality of the
people.
Wpodmont is not fashionable place as
| yet, but it can show more pretty girls and
| handsome women than any other resort OF
| its size.
| There are no catch penny shows or
| "merry- Grounds" but visit to the
bathing beaches at the proper time, the
| tennis courts, the straw rides and the at
/ tendance at the hops at the hotels all bear
witness to the pleasure of the young peo-
| pie.
We must speak of the sanitary arrange
! ments which are SO important to sum-
mer resort.
Collections are made every morning
from the cottages before the people are
awake, and thus the health is carefully
guarded by the Sanitary association.
Three mails a day each way keep the
people informed of the whereabouts Of
| friends.
/ The postofice is just acress from the II
| station, and it is an animated place on the
arrival of trains, for many teams are kept
in Woodmont and meet the business men.
The quick start for the shore mile away
and the friendly brushes remind one of a
| return from the races. OF the three ho-
tells the Bonsilene is beautifully located
upon sloping ground, and commands an
! extensive view of the water from its piaz-
zas and rooms. A new dining room has
lust been completed, 1926, and from its
tables one looks out upon the sound, as
the front is almost all of glass. This gives
the hotel more room, which has been much
/ needed.
A beautiful new sign is to be placed to-
day reading to-day ''The Bonsilene." Its
charges are moderate and it is a delightful
place to spend the day. It has over 400
feet of shore front. Try the Bonsilene.
