OTEL PRESTON, Beach Bluff. While the war 
hounds are yelling in Europe, and the sounds of 
martial strife are making life a hideous nightmare of dread 
for millions of people, the Preston seems to be the place of 
peace where happiness reigns supreme and the inhuman 
conflict of man with man seems so unreal and so far away 
as to be impossible. ‘That is the impression one must get 
to see the large and spacious veranda of a morning,—some 
promenading, others sewing, others reading, enjoying 
every comfort that affords keen satisfaction to all the de- 
votees of this popular summer resort.
