New England Inns.

Before the advent of the motor the
roadside hotel in New England was IN
a bad way. It's prosperity received
heavy blow when the railways were
built The stage coach disappeared and
travel on the highway virtually ceased,
except in the matter of merely local
traffic. Finally the spread of no-llcenSe
and prohibition removed the chief re-
manning source of profit for the rural
hosiery by closing it's bar. Most OF
the old taverns and roadhouses Went
entirely out OF business, after a dreary
struggle for existence under the new
conditions. In great stretches Of rural
New England there was neither bed
nor board for the Wayfarer. The occa-
sional traveller by carriage or afoot Was
likely to find himself journeying in the
lovely countryside where every pros
pect pleased and only the hotels were
vile.
A revolution has been wrought in q
few yelrs, thanks to the touring car
Dilapidated t9verns have been regen
Grated and. good, new hotels have
sprung up in many places at the bid
ding of the automobilists. There is a
certain genius for hotel keeping in
New Englanders. A majority of the
noted landlords of the country orig
mated here 1t is good to see this
talent among us revived. Even in ths
little time there has been for their de-
velopn1ent we already have not a few
country inns here in New England
which rival in charm and comfort the
famous inns of old England.-Bostor
Globe.
