This ideally situated house Is having
the same success in it's business this
year as has attended it ever since it's
beginning. A more delightful place
to spend the summer months it would
be hard to imagine indeed. There is
not finer location anywhere on the
Maine coast. Situated at the mouth
of the famous Little Harbor, the hotel
porch commands a wide view over
the waters and islands Of the eastern
bay which could hardly be surpassed,
and the reefs and cliffs at it's very
door afford a surf view even in COM
praratively calm weather which in a
storm is perfectly stupendous in it's
grandeur.
AS usual the Driftwood has upon it's
register the names of many former
guests. Among these are Miss A. E.
Murnane and Miss Phillips, both of
Portland, Conn, who were guests here
for time last year and were so de-
lighted that they have returned for a
longer stay.

came back with a good sized lot of fish.
Another party which included Mrs.

to make the time pass entirely too
rapidly for those staying here. Clam

Recent Arrivals Numerous. Business
Good.
This latest addition to the ranks of
Bailey Islands summer hotels, in spite
of being forced to compete against
many other houses, has been making
good with the summer tourists during
all the years of its existence, and this
fact can be ascribed beyond anything
else to the careful management and
thorough going excellence of all the
appointments.
Among the happenings of the past
week was a most delightful whist
party held by the guests last Thurs
day night. There were five tables and
competition for the prizes was ex-
tremely keen. At the end Of the eve
ming it was found that first honors for
the night lay with Miss Mildred Dun
can Of Worcester, Mass, who receiv-
ed as reward a beautiful cut glass
dish. < She was closely pressed by Miss
Harriet Fennelly of Dorchester, Mass,
who was awarded second prize.
Some of the most recent arrivals
here are: Miss Dorothy Constantine
of Wyoming, N. j.; Mr.. and Mrs. E. A.

New and Old Guests Arriving In Daily
The fruits of good careful manage
ment were never better eXemplified
than they are this year at the Johnson.
A glance at the hotel register sees the
recurring here year after year of many
of the same names, sometimes steadily
from the very first year Of the hotels
existence. No better proof of the
merits of hotel could be asked
than that many of the guests
here in former years, even if not being
able to return this summer, have not
forgotten the good times they have
enjoyed as Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson's
guests. This is shown by the fact that
many of those who are registered here
for the first time have been attracted
to the place by the recommendations
of friends.
Mr.. NJ w. Thompson of New York
City, arrived at the hotel the first of
the month to join his daughter, Miss
Ruth Thompson, who has been regis
tered here for a considerable time.
He expects to remain here as long as
his business affairs will permit.
Miss Blanche n. Jobes and Miss
Carrie NJ. Jobes of Leominster,, Mass,
spent few days here recently as
guests of Miss Lillian King. They
enjoyed thoroughly every minute of
their stay and their only regret was
caused by the briefness of their visit.
Mr.. w. X. knight of Brookline,
Mass, who has been a guest here sew
eral times in former years, is again
registered for an indefinite stay.
