is not in the ''howling mob of latter
day civilization, but is found near to
Natures heart" where the only sound
that disturbs the infinite peace is the
tapping of the waters of Lake Weir
| on the shore just below.
1t is not generally known that the
| name Lake Weir is but another
| example of this prosaic age-another
| evidence that poetry, romance, and
/ sentiment are giving place to the
trend of modern laconics. Lake
Weir was originally named ''Amas
Kohegan'' for an Indian chief and
the name means bright Moon
Water One man can picture in
fancy the dusky Red Men as they
first saw the bright moonlit lake and
named it ''Amas Kohegan" in honor
of their chief.
In crossing the lake from the west
side the first thing to strike the eye
as one nears Woodmar is the two
pavilIons on the water just a little
way from the shore-the one belong
ing 70 Blair Villa and the other 70 the
site reserved for the hotel. This site
is possibly the best in Woodmar,
commanding as it does the most ex-
pansive view of the lake.
1t is said even nature can be i'm
proved by modern art and one be-
lieves this when the future of Wood
mar is described by its owner. Even
an ordinary imagination can picture
a veritable Eden whose beauty and
renown will be the pride of every
FloridIan.
1t may be that Woodmar was seen
through a rosy lens by the writer but
any one would see it the same having
been guest at Blair Villa, the lake
shore home of the owner of Wood
mar, and having enjoyed the genuine
hospitality of one who makes his
| quests feel that thew arc giving him
a pleasure rather than being the re-
cipient of a very great one. Wood
mar once seen needs no words to tell
its story.
However obscure its past or how
bright its future, WcOdmar has been
and will ever be, until ''the world is
old and the stars grow cold" the
