There is no holiday place in the world more famous by association with grear names and high memories chan White Sulphur; no ocher place of resort makes such romantic appeal. Nearly a century ago Henrv Clay signed che hocel register, and Robert E . Lee passed here the last three summers of his noble life.

White Sulphur Springs is situated on the western slope of che Alleghany Mountains, on che main line of che Chesa-peake and Ohio Railway, at an elevation of 2,000 feet. Higher mountains, rising 3,500 feec above che sea, environ che

· place. From April to November che mean temperature is che same as char of Nice and Madeira-sixcy-chree degrees. The Greenbrier is operated by the White Sulphur Springs, lnc.- Harry Taic, Manager; Fred Sterry , of New York ,

Managing Director; Thornton Lewis, President. The Greenbrier Hotel is a superb, fireproof structure, open all che year 'round- the very lase word in luxurious comfort. On entering the great lounge hall, one is surprised by the splendid maroon sofas and seats, exact copies of those in

Knole Hall, Surrey, England, the seat of the Earls of Saxville. Money has been lavished on rhe Greenbrier, bur lavished by forethought and wide critical experience. There is no better hotel in these United States.

The Greenbrier Hotel and forty-two cottages accommodate about 800 summer guests, and are attractively situated in a park of nearly 100 acres. The rooms in the hotel buildings are large and com_ forrably furnished, and have charming views over park and mountain. Scattered about the surrounding park are the cottages which are exceptionally attractive and

convenient for families or parries who wish to be, in a measure, secluded or who prefer the privacy of home. ·-hese. coccages are equipped with electric lights and

ar:il and connected with エ セ ・ hotel by telephone; some are steam heated.

The Kate's Mountain Club, located one mile from the hotel, is under the same management as the Greenbrier. A specialty of Southern cooked luncheons and dinners is made.

AM.usEMENTS: The three golf courses, two of eighteen and one of nine holes, now are regarded as among the most perfect in che country. Excellent professionals with assistants are regularly engaged. The Casino or Club House has recently been enlarged and affords facilities for appetizing luncheons after a round of golf or tennis in che mmnin& and for teas in afrernoo_n. Everything pos-sible 1s done for the devotees of this fascmatmg game. Both of the large courses are over 6,000 feet in length, and are of championship calibre. The nine-hole course is interesting for the average golfer and practical for the less experienced.

Great care and accention has been given co perfecting rhe finest facilities for tennis at White Sulphur. Five beautiful clay courts are laid out, with che Casino as a picturesque background, with its concerts, music and dancing. The spring, summer and fall tournaments held each year here attract the noted players of the country; and there are always galleries of tennis enthusiasts and interested guests. These contests have the mingled at-mosphere of a social function and real spore. Competent instructors in attendance.

The roads about White Sulphur are good for motoring. In every direction, over hill and through valley, che op-portunities for attractive trips are innumerable. There is a fully-equipped garage in charge of competent mecha-nics; livery, too, is first class, and horses to suic every caste can be hired from the riding master. A number of new drives and bridle paths have been constructed about the neighboring mountains.

The cuisine and service are exceptionally good. Fresh fruit and vegetables are furnished by the hotel garden. A modern dairy with a fine herd of selected cattle is main-tained so that perfectly fresh milk is assured. Special milk for children. The water is all drawn from a moun-tain spring and brought ten miles to the hotel. In fine, the Greenbrier and the cottages are first class and con-ducted on the European plan. Table d'hoce, in addition, during summer months.

THE BATH HouSE is, perhaps, the mosc completely equipped institution of its kind in America, every form of hydrotherapeutic treatment being given.

In connection with che baths, there is a Zander Room of mechanical and gymnastic apb1racus, and a large swim-ing pool 40 by 102.

The Medical Department at White Sulphur Springs, in charge of competent physicians, is equipped with chem-ical, bacteriological and X-Ray laboratories in order that any treatment may be afforded along modern lines of scientific medicine, and, in addition, the renowned sul-phur baths characteristic of White Sulphur Springs.

MouNTAIN HoME is situated on the southern brow of Greenbrier Mountain, two miles west of White Sulphur Springs, and guests are always welcome at the Green-brier, and enjoy the privileges of its parlors, ballroom, grounds and drives. Horses and pleasure vehicles at moderate rates.

The charm of Virginia Hor Spnngs in summer- a5 ar au,· rime of rhe year- is disrincrively irs own. Irs mountain alritude, 2,500 feer above sea level, insures dryness and lighrness of air. The average remperarure for die summer season, over a number of years, has been sixry-six de-ァ イ ・ ・ N Through rhe frequent gaps in rhe mountain chain, currents of vibrant air are continually circulating, making rhe atmosphere ever fresh and exhilarating, and, by rhe same taken, obviaring both fog and mosquiroes. A graceful fearure of life ar Virginia Hot Springs during summer is the invariable coolness of the night.

The country is of singular beaury. The mountainside, which rises one thousand feet above the vallev floor, is heavily wooded. Through rhe gaps run rumbling streams, rhe mosr famous of which is the Cascades Run, from which rhe new golf course takes irs name. In rhe con-riguous region, ancient hamlets and farm houses, rail fences, quaint Anglo-Saxon names and phrases, continue the tradirion of the Old Dominion.

The Homestead itself accentuates this tradition, wirh its artfully planned unobtrusion of comfort, beaury and luxury. The great colonial hall, wirh irs whire columns rising two floors, is essentially of the Old Dominion. The wide corridors and verandas- the many private verandas - the sun-room, rhe crystal room, the charming little theatre, the a la carte resrauranr, the grear American din-ing-room, all are scamped with finesse and disTincrion The water used is from a mountain-top spring miles away> rhe milk supplied is from the hotel dairy, the vegetables from the hotel garden, where also is a fine greenhouse system; the poultry and eggs are from the home farm; even the mear is raised and killed on rhe place. These are some of the characteristics which have made rhe Home-stead of Virginia Hor Springs.

AMUSEMENTS: Three splendid, sporty golf courses-two of eighreen and one of nine holes-are maintained. The new Cascades Course is three and one-half miles from the Homestead. Here is a fine club house with restaurant and terraces for luncheon, dinner or tea parties. Ad-joining the Cascades is the Cascades Inn, formerly Healing Springs, now complerely modernized The Homesread tennis 」 ッ オ イ エ セ L seven in number, face the Casino. Here the lawn, shaded by tall locust trees, is a favorite place for the colony during the morning and afternoon con-certs. The bath house contains a handsome swimming pool. There also is an indoor golf school in the club house. In rhe park is a detached playground for children.

The Virginia Hot Springs Company has constructed over one hundred miles of riding trails and driving roads, rhrough a romantic and picturesque country, favorite objectives being Fassifern Farm and Valley View Farm, where old-time Southern cooking may be enjoyed. The Homestead Ii very maintains a fine sering of Virginia and Kentucky thoroughbreds. Particular arcention is paid ro the instruction of children in all spores.

THE FAMOUS CuRE: The healing and curative qualities of rhe waters of Virginia Hor Springs, ever flowing ar a narural remperarure of 106 degrees Fahren-heit, have been recognized for over a century. Physi-cians of the highesr sranding have pronounced them c:qual to the mosr effective warers of rhe celebrared Eu-ropean resorts. The bath house, connected with rhe hotel by a covered viaduct, is a splendid four-story srructure of brick and stone. A great variety of baths are given, and rhe bather can have any temperature he desires, from a cold plunge ta 106 degrees Fahrenheit.

Analyses show that the waters have practically the same mineral ingredients as rhe warers of Hot Springs, Ark., and differ litde from rhose of Aix-le-Bains, France; bur rhe quality of solids carried is much greater in Virginia Hot Springs waters than in eirher of the others, and rhe p dioactivity rhe highest of any springs in America.

-·. Yorktown

.;

H1sTORIC YoRKTOWN, seven miles from Lee Hall Sra-tion, is much the same today as it was when Corn-wallis surrendered in 1781, many of the old structures being in use since that date. Yorktown offers the summer vacationist a pleasing diversion from the for-mality and systematic customs of the other vacation centers. The eighteen-hole golf course of the York-town Country Club is laid out on historic ground on the shores of the beautiful York River, and both Williamsburg and Jamestown within ten miles are some of the many reasons why quaint and historic Yorktown is a popular spot with vacationists.
