Dividing Line of Seasons Diminishing in Bermuda Hamlltxm. Bermudaâ€"Tho Ber- muda Islands are sometimes called the “Somer‘s Isles," after Sir George Somers, whose party settled there in 1609, and from this arisen the name “Isles of Summe r.“ This is not a misnomer, because Bermuda is a land of unending sumâ€" mer. Even in winter the tempera- ture is never exc&sively low nor in summer is it excessivly high. However. until lately there has been a dividing line between the sum- met and winter seasons, the winter guests leaving during April and the summer guests arriving some weeks later. Now. however, it, is quite eviâ€" dent that the lines between the sen- sons are becoming obliterated. so that not only is the summer itself unend- ing in Bermuda‘, but the summer sea- son or winter season or whatever one may wish to call it. is more and more assuming a continuous charac- ter.

J. LUNAU SEE OUR WINDOWS FOR Head Office RICHMOND HILL Last summer's season continued right into November and December without a break. the hotels being fui-l all the time, while this spring saw. a continuation of Bermuda‘s popuS {arity right through April into May.

It is expected that by next year at least one more large steam- ship will be in the Bermuda service, and meanwhile hotel accommodations are being enlarged to take care if the expected new hosts of Americans.
