Spend Your Holiday? Here 
No other place offers such unusual 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 
features of The Chamberlin. So airy and light is this 
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 ihe 
evenings, there is dancing for those who wish it. 
The cuisine is perfect — real Southern cooking — fresh oysters 
and sea fo dfrom nearby waters—fresh vegetables from our own 
gardens. Many count the cuisine of The Chamberlin as its first 
attraction—the one that lingers longest and fondest in memory. 
For further information and interesting illustrated booklets , apply at all Tourist Bureaus 
or Transportation Offices, or address ine personally.

ALSO STEAM AND HOT WATER HEATERS, UP-TO-DATe 
like nicknames, should fit like a glove and 
even then they are only suitable to the 
rough camp, not to the substantial perma¬ 
nent home. Many of them, too, like “Kill 
Kare,” “Uneeda Rest,” “Hate-to-Quit-It,” 
“Restawhile,” “Dew Drop In,” “Take-It- 
Easy,” have become so common as not 
to have even novelty to recommend them. 
If one cannot coin his own he would bet¬ 
ter take some straightforward simple name 
that will endear itself with use. 
Another word of caution may not be 
amiss. While it may not be absolutely 
necessary to have the name of the sum¬ 
mer home fit the locality, at least it should 
not be a misfit. “Crestdale,” for example, 
is a contradiction of terms. One may 
have intended for years to name her sum¬ 
mer home “Anchorage,” hut it certainly 
does not fit a mountain bungalow any 
more than “Wigwam” does the seaside 
cottage. Then, while simple straightfor¬ 
ward names are usually preferable to ro¬ 
mantic, highly poetic ones, there is the 
other extreme. “Secluded Quiet” and 
“Good Rest,” for example, are only one 
degree removed from “Comfortable Mat- 
trasses” and “No-Flies-Nor-Mosquitoes.” 
In short, one needs a sense of humor, even 
in naming a country home. 
As there are a few happy mortals who 
can wear ready-made clothes and have 
them look as if made to order, so doubtless 
there are summer houses that can be fitted 
perfectly by ready made-names, and, for 
such, the following list is appended: 
“The Angler,” “Comfort Cottage,” 
“Content” (for a tent), “Bonnie Doon,” 
“Horse Shoe Cottage,” “Shadowland,” 
“Beulah Land,” “Nestledown,” “Home¬ 
stead,” “Inglenook,” “Heatherblow,” 
“Mascotte” (good luck), “Bliss House,” 
“Bide-a-wee,” “In Clover,” “Home Nook,” 
“Shady Lawn,” “Breeze Corners,” 
“Meadow Creek,” “Brookside,” “Silver 
Springs,” “Lea Haven,” “North Gate,”

tinel,” “The Ledges,” “Echo Camp,” 
“The Lold” — the home of the Lambs;
