RESUME of Resorts T ews for Summer, 1941 makes altogether pleasant reading. Even as A we go to Press several Resorts are chock-full of visitors owing to the unexpected Indian Summer heralded in by September sunshine. September was a grand holiday month, rounding off a bumper season in Irish tourist records. Hotels and boarding houses did splendid business, many of them being reluctantly compelled to turn prospective guests away, in search of alternative accommodation. Space shortage does not permit a review of all resorts; but the cross-section of reports from a number of prominent ones featured hereunder gives a sound indication of holiday business during the Summer generally and for September in particular.

T was pouring rain when I got my first glimpse of in an amazing assortment of clothes. The fascinating Achill Island.

But the high cards and the male reading W odehouse and waiting jinks really began at tea. The man from Cork led off for a friendly glance from the eye of the unsuspecting with a discourse on drink. He was listented to with attention as a person of high authority. No; he was to launch a discourse on that marvellous holiday at [See over Juan Les Pins. ow I had come and there seemed to be nothing but this adjectival rain, which damped down my high spirits. I was staying at Keel. As 1 drove along the road from Achill Sound the Island seemed to be the loveliest place in all the earth. Over it all there was a vast pearl-white misty smoke-screen driving in from the Atlantic. It broke here and there to show the dark sides of Slieve More and Croaghaun, then just mountains to me but later to become close friends in the mystic way that mountains have of forcing their personality on one. I was in no mood for rhapsody, because mists on mountains always touch me with a faint melancholia. I ate a belated lunch given me in a big friendly whitewashed room by '.a young girl who didn't call me " Sir" even once, and stayed for a chat. When I had drained a quite ungenteel cup of very good tea she read my fortune from the leaves. I hung on and looked out the window. A battle was raging along the whole front between that Atlantic mist and the sun and the sun was winning. I warmed up and felt very much less like a marooned lighthouse-keeper. It's only a painter, and a very good one at that, who could convey anything of the beauty of Achill in all its tones and tantrums. So I won't let loose on you all the jargon of the guide books. I had my first real view from the window on that rainy day. I have been in Achill six times since--even in the winter, and still I know that I have seen only a few of the coloured slides.

Mixed Company. Soon the other visitors began to trickle in. I am an incorrigible talker and so company means more to me than scenery and, of course, I don't mean mere listeners.

In between the mouthfuls he drove his teeth through the temperance laws. They were wrongly conceived. Drinking was an art. It is the drinker w~o should be licensed. Any fool can serve the precIOus stuff but how many can drink it ? He was cross-examined but the answers came readily. The fellow who didn't stand his round should have his licence endorsed-likewise the oaf who let his drink master him. The eyes of the little Welsh girl goggled. She looked as if she were going to tell him what alcohol did to the poor little earth-worm in the bottle, but she thought better of it. The ex-Colonial Civil Servant-there with a dear old sister-just nodded and said: "I think you exaggerate-in fact, I think" -but his next words were lost in the rush of wit and eloquence. The brilliant actor-author, with at least one best seller to his credit, sat or stood in the bar and preached the evils of nationalism and the glory of Bonnie Prince Charlie. The local baker told him a thing or two and looked around for our approval which he got. We lay on the strand and listened to the big shot from Imperial Chemicals quote ream upon ream of Siegfried Sassoon interlarded with the mysticism of Blake, and never a word spoke he about bombs, beautiful or otherwise.
