The Woodbine.

This well known house has opened
for Its fifteenth season under the pro-
prietorship OF the owner, Mrs. Hum
phrey s. Sinnett, whose reputation as
a successful boarding house mistress
has been made many seasons past.
This house Is In the center OF the is
land on the main boulevard, midway
between both steamboat landings and
being SO central, has always attracted
an enyiabIe clientele who come year
after year. It is one of the best
known houses in Casco Bay and as

less than a majority OF the summer

enlarged music room and parlor, one
adjoining room having been taken In
to the compass of the original room.
This enlarged floor will be used for

The Johnson.

Many improvements have been in
progress here during the spring, most
important Of which is the large addi-
ton built by Mr.. Johnson on the east
ern side Of the house. This is three
and one-half stories high, the same as
the main house and contains ten COM
Portable sleeping rooms besides a liv-
ing room 10 X 80 feet and a large at
tic. The living room will be one of
the homelike features of The Johnso
rough stone fireplace will add to
the comfort and cheer of this big,
cozy room. Three toilet rooms in
the addition make a total of five in
the house now, including the bath
room now in use. There are now
twenty large sleeping rooms and
from ten to twenty rooms outside in
cottages. Every room but one has at
least two windows and five rooms
have three windows each, so that no
discomfort can be had from lack of
ventilation or outlook. All floors in
the house are hard pine and the clean
liness of the whole building is one of
its chief attractions. Second only to
the uniformity of the table is it's excel
lence of food and cooking. Mr.. and
Mrs. Johnson will personally conduct
the house as usual and this is assur-
ance enough of it's continued success
and prosperity. A large patronage is
already booked for the. summer, first
guests having arrived on the first of
June.

NEW HOTEL AT CLIFF ISLAND
OPEN SINCE JUNE FIRST,
Two Guests Arrived During First
Week in the Northumberland
Good for Early Filling Of the

The Beechwood at Cliff Island Is al
ways among the first of the Bay hotels
to open. Mrs. G. E. Pettengill, the
proprietress, opened the house about
june first, and the first guests arrived
about three weeks ago, proving that
Cliff Is entitled to be considered a
leader In summer resorts In early
season guests, as we'll as In other well
known advantages. Beechwood was
newly built in 1912 and it's initial
season proved an unusual success,
showing the appreciation which the
summer visitors have for bountifully
supplied and carefully prepared food
In conjunction with airy, clean rooms
and adjacency to the salt water. One
might go farther and say that It
seems an axiom here that houses
conducted by "Iady proprietors" are
always sought after because of the
close attention given by them to the
details Of the table and nicely OF every
appointment OF such house.
Mrs. LILA Duff and Master Lawson
Dun OF Maiden, Mass, have been reg
istered at the Beechwood for two
weeks and are returning home. but
Will be here again In August.
