Spend Your Holidays Here 
No other place offers such anusual attractions or 
affords such perfect facilities for rest and recreation. 
First take the Hotel itself. Its location is unique— 
at Hampton Roads and Fortress Monroe, in the centre 
of military and naval activities. A glance at the illustra- 
tion above shows The Chamberlin—right at the 
water’s edge, commanding an unrivalled marine view. 
Luxurious lounging rooms, sun parlors, etc., make for 
rest and comfort. The sea air is invigorating. 
Indoor sea bathing in a magnificent pool, which 
rivals in splendor of appointment the baths of Ancient 
Rome, is one of the most enjoyable and beneficial gardens. Many count the cuisine of The Chamberlin as its first 
features of The Chamberlin. So airy and light is this attraction—the one that lingers longest and fondest in memory.

or Transportation Offices, or address me personally. : 
sea pool, that bathing in it is next to bathing outdoors. 
There is a constantly changing supply of pure, fresh, 
filtered sea water of an agreeable temperature. 
There are medical and tonic baths, also—of every kind and 
description—in charge of an expert. 
By day, there are military and naval manoeuvres, trips through 
surrounding historic country, golf, tennis, boating, etc. In the 
evenings, there is dancing for those who wish it. 
The cuisine is perfect—real Southern cooking—fresh oysters 
and sea food from nearby waters—fresh vegetables from our own

THE Book or Fern Cutture, by Alfred 
Hemsley, F.R.H.S. New York: John 
Lane Company. Cloth crown, 8vo. _II- 
lustrated, 112 pages. Price, $1.00 net. 
This is a volume on practical fern culture 
by a writer who is an authority on the sub- 
ject he handles through twenty-one chap- 
ters. Ferns, or rather most of them, are no 
longer regarded as semiaquatics, to be 
kept continually moist and under heavy 
shading and green glass. It has been fully 
proved in practice that those things are a 
great abomination, and Mr. Hemsley’s vol- 
ume, containing as it does careful instruc- 
tion on the subject, will be of the greatest 
service to any one wishing to beautify the 
garden with ferns. 
POMANDER WALK, by Louis N. Parker. 
New York. John Lane Company. 1911. 
Cloth, 8vo. Illustrated. 267 pages. 
Price, $1.30 net. 
This volume is a novelization of Louis 
N. Parker’s successful play. In Pomander 
Walk the author of “Rosemary” has told 
one of the sweetest stories in fiction, and 
not only to those who have seen the play, 
but to others who have not, Pomander 
Walk is recommended as a delightful, re- 
freshing and wholesome story. 
THE PHOTOGRAPHIC ANNUAL FoR 1911- 
1912, edited by Arthur D. Goodole. 
New York. Tennant & Ward. 1911. 
Paper, 8vo. Illustrated. 293 pages. 
Price 50 cents. 
Considerable alteration has been made in 
the arrangement of matter in this Photo- 
graphic Annual, and many new features 
have been introduced which are of special 
service to all interested in photographic 
matters. A very interesting chapter is 
taken up with the subject of home-made 
papers and another with the preparation of 
lantern slides. 
A SHORTER CouRSE IN WoopworKING. A 
Practical Manual for Home and School. 
By Charles G. Wheeler. New York: G. 
P. Putnam’s Sons, 1911. 8vo.; 286 pages; 
765 illustrations. Price, $1.50. 
Manual training is so great an addition 
to the general curriculum that its exponents 
are apt to be either professional teachers, 
whose knowledge of the subject is super- 
ficial, or skilled mechanics, whose ideas of 
teaching are somewhat crude. This ‘Short- 
er Course” is intended to help both classes 
and the independent student as well. Its 
first division, “Common Tools and Their 
Uses,” is very exhaustive and clear, being 
so profusely illustrated that the figures are 
often some pages in advance of the text 
which refers to them. The second part, 
“Operations in Shaping, Fitting and Fin- 
ishing,” tells how to miter, dowel, splice, 
cleat, chamfer, and groove. This division 
also gives instructions for moldings, for 
panel and door making, and for the ele- 
mentary operations in simple carved work. 
An appendix deals with such primary prin- 
ciples of construction as are embodied in 
gates, simple bridges, and roofs, and with 
practical problems in drawing and in laying 
out work. In every way the manual excel- 
lently fulfills the purposes with which it set 
out, and is a worthy follower of the same 
author’s ‘“‘Woodworking for Beginners.”
