ing refreshment and an hour OF social
amenities Tea, at 3, closes au afternoon
spent motoring, playing tennis or bridge,
and with the evening comes the dancing
set of Narragansett, and many from
Newport to attend the nightly balls.
All things and all places start, from
some irresistible force. Narragansctt
came into being as the most popular
watering place on the New England
coast because of its beach, which has
no peer in America and few equals
in the world. The surf rolls in from
the ocean over gently sloping beach,
and for some reason, perhaps because
of the protecting arm of Point Judith,
there is no undcrtow to even necess =
tate life lines and the temperature of
the water is less variable than any
place on the Atlantic.
Boston Real Resort
Boston is probably seldom thought of
as a summer resort, but in reality II is
one of the greatest summer places in
the country. There are certain big ho-
tells, such as the Nendome, Puritan,
Lcnox and Brunswick, that feature
their summer advantages by opening
roof gardens and sun parlors. Being
in the Back Bay section of Boston and
close TO the water, but enough removed
from tho city to be out Of the noise and
hustle, these big hostelries are AS cool
and comfortable as the average resort
hotel. And il the tourist wants 70
know New England in its entirety of
divprseness Boston is the logical center
from which to start. Within radius
of a few miles are all of the most ia
nous beaches of Massachusetts. South
of Boston is the Cape Cod peninsula,
in itself "A realm of enchanting beauty
and engrossing interest. The VISITOR
who goes annually to Cape Cod has 4
clearly defined set of impressions and
experiences to go by, but the first time
tourist will surely have TO rearrange
his mental vision of 1.-THE Cape. GIVE
him three guesscs and he will tell YOU
that Cape Cod is largely inhabited by
fishermen wearing olSkins and so west
ers, that the land is succession OF
sand dunes and barren rock lodges. and
that angling for lOgy dcniHcns OF the
dcep is the only recreation. But start
him out in an automobile from Boston
over motor roads as smooth aS a house
floor. lot him get his first glimpse OF
tho well-tiled fields and Colonal
houses Of the splendid farms 'hat
stretch for miles along the way, ana
let him get sweet fragrance from the
flower laden lawns of the beautiful cs
tatcs that border Buzzards Bay, and
he will have to completely revise MS
prpconceived ideas of Cape Cod.
The Cape Cod fisherman stu exists
but is a revised edition Of his prede-
ccssor. He is not the rough scatarer
of fifty years ago: he is your guide on
