ih" Kert beyond question, and will coniv^'Bttoije
to grow notwithstanding the un?!
f certainty of the fate of the blue laws
; Band their effect on Sunday golf.
There has been some objection to the
B restriction ou golfing, but on the
I whole winter visitors did not allow
I this to curtail their stay in Camden.
I The hotels have had a fine February
. V I and March season, and some*>f them,
| Hobkirk Inn and Ivy Ix>dge, will hold
; many guests through April. The
I Kirk wood and the Court Inn will
I probubly close the middle or around
I that date, but many cottagers will
I keep their homes open for several
weeks longer. Spring is at its love:~:r|
liest here in coy April, and unless
! I compelled to do so many are unwilling
I to risk the uncertain weather of
' ; H Northern climes. The cottage season
L I has been the busiest ever known, and
: y, I there has been great activity in real
^ B estate. Among definite sales are the
,./H attractive cottage of Mr. William M.
