transform what was once a portion of
the great "sand hill desert" of North
Carolina, into an oasis of luxuriant color
and fragrance ; an undertaking the diffi
culties, which, few even vaguely com
prehend. When the late James W. Tufts settled
upon the site because of the acknowl
edged superiority of its climate and na
tural advantages, he set about the beau
tification of the Village-to-be in the same
systematic and comprehensive manner
which characterized his business career,
and so thoroughly organized and care
fully planned was the work that it has
since gone steadily forward on the origi
nal lines. With him it was always the
best and he considered things in both de
tail and mass and because his mind pic
tured clearly the ideal, he was able to
achieve, for he possessed both force and
capital.
One of the very first steps after plan
ning the Village, was the establishment
of a Nursery for experimentation and
production, and undismayed by diffi
culties arising from unfavorable condi
tions of soil, success was achieved for a
task which seemed hopeless in the eyes
of all but the few who comprehended,
among them Mr. Warren II. Manning,
the landscape architect, whose services
were invaluable.
In this connection a comparison of the
list of shrubs, etc., originally ordered and
planted, with one showing those existing
today, is of interest ; the former supplied
by the landscape architects and the lat
ter by Miss Elizabeth Olney who has
made a careful study of the subject.

HE'S GLAD TO GET HACK!
Golf Calendar Awakens an Echo in
Hearts of Thousands.
"Gee! but I'm glad to get back to
Pinehurst!" is the comment of Pine
hurst's 1910 golf calendar lad, nine short
words which awaken an echo in the
hearts of each and every one of the
thousands who now await the coming of
this unique reminder each year. Here
you have the whole story " I'm glad to
get back ! "and if you're not "back"
a glow of recollection and anticipation
will thrill you through and through.
Apparently the little chap has forgot
ten all about his determination to win
the Championship, expressed last year,
and bears young Standish no malice, for
with sleeves rolled up and suspenders
swinging from his hips the warm sun
upon his body and the crisp air in his
nostrils he's "killed" his first drive
and is watching the ball as it scampers
away in the distance.
Three hours of delight lie before him
and he's feeling good all over" glad to
get back" no doubt about that; and
you rejoice with him.
A Villag-e Howling- Alley.
The usual prizes are being offered at
the Village Bowling Alley for high scores
and team matches arranged with squads
from surrounding towns. As usual the
place is a favorite resort for visitors,
many women among those who enjoy
matinee bowling.

Why Are so Many Visitor Willing: to
JLose Early Season Charms T
To the Editor of The Pinehurst Outlook :
The "early comer" and the "late
stayer" often wonders why it is that so
many visitors to Pinehurst are willing to
lose, so much of its peculiar charm. In
November the fall comes on as gently, as
a summer rain. The days when the
mocking bird holds forth are the acme of
delight and bracing air, the summer flow
ers and foliage in their richest garb and
profusion to be almost imperceptibly
followed by the autumnal coloring of
the deciduous trees and shrubs of such
reds, yellows and browns, a perfect
symphony of color as might come
from enchantment. No cold fall winds
here to strip the trees of these bewitch
ing shades in their infancy, but instead,
they seem to realize their charms and
linger along for the delectation of the
early comer, way into January and even
then the new shoots have to literally
push them aside.
While the fall and winter in Pinehurst
are both exotics and full of sunshine
and promise, one must join the ranks of
the late stayers to get the full fragrance
of the place. Every hedge which so
gracefully and artistically outlines the
paths and drives, bursts forth with the
fragrant and beautiful honeysuckle,
which predominating, suggests that
Pinehurst could appropiately be styled
"Honeysuckle Village!" Sweeter than
orange blossoms their perfume fills the
air and vies with the magnificent stately
magnolias and dogwood in their bloom.
To mention the vast and indescribable
blossoms and the myriads of blooms of
this flowery kingdom would be to fill
The Outlook with a list which can be
found easier in a vocabulary of flowers
"A word to the wise is sufficient."
Join the early comers and late stayers
once and you will never desert the ranks.
AN EARLY COMER.
"Telephone Service Remarkable."
" Your long distance telephone service
is remarkable," said a guest at The
Holly Inn the other evening, as he step
ped from the telephone booth. "My
office just called me up and I was able to
hear perfectly and I can assure you it's
quite a comfort, for just at the present
time there are a number of important
matters any one of which might necessi
tate my return to New York if I could
not be communicated with at once."
In this connection it may be added that
the telegraph sevice is unequalled, mainly
because of wires installed to meet the
demands of an extensive press service.
Annual Village Club Dazaar.
Thus early members of the Pinehurst
Village Club are planning for the annual
Midseason Bazaar upon the same exten
sive lines as in the past. Elaborate decora
tions and many novelties will be its spec
ial features. For the two years past the
receipts have been over one thousand dol
lars and the event is anticipated from
year to year by the entire colony. The
Club is also planning a busy winter along
the same general lines as in the past.
