Mountains, Lakes and Trails for Riders Feature State. ONTPELIER, June 15.—The rapid succession of announce- ments of openings of Ver- mont's resorts emphasizes the early opening of Summer travel to the Green Mountain State. Earlier than in neighboring States, many Vermont resorts count most of June in their season—and September and early October as well—and some opened their doors this season as early as Memorial day. With few exceptions, Green Moun- tain resorts are comparatively small in size, intimate in character, well adapted to long season, and their numbers and distribution in all parts of the State give visitors early and late a great variety of choice of scenes and activities. This week will seesprac- tically all Vermont resort centers ready for the annual influx of vaca- tionists and Summer residents. Last year was the best Summer sea- #on since 1931, and already this year the inquiries from other States re- ceived at Montpelier's State House largely exceed in number those of any recent years. A notable feature is the increase among those seeking infor- mation regarding the rental of Sum- mer homes and the purchase of farm | and village property for conversion to Summer home uses. Many from other States now come to Vermont in early | Spring and remain until snow flies. A considerable number keep these homes open for use through the Win- | ter. Vermont is increasing rapidly her | facilities for Summer and Winter rec- reation. Throughout the State are lake | and river bathing and boating facili- | ties, fishing, State forests and forest | hiking trails in parks, bridle paths, endless variety, always nearby are ho- tels, camps, or comfortable tourist and farm homes, characterized as a rule by simplicity, tive surroundings. IN TOURING Vermont, there is prac- tically no vista that does not carry the eve across neatly farmed lands, | silvery strands of water and comfort- able farm houses to some mountain gap filled with the outlines of other mountains in the distance. The peaks of many of these moun- tains are accessible over roads within | the State forest park system—even | Mount Mansfield, Vermont's highest, where from an altitude of 4.393 feet 8 great expanse of scenery is un- folded. including & hundred-mile pan- orama of Lake Champlain. Hardly a single town is without its eminence, from Mount Mansfield in Stowe to the rolling hills that form good living and attrac- | fishing, while Champlain and many others are the home of bass, pike, pickerel and other game fish. WITH some 30 passes east and west across the Green Mountains, the backbone of the State, the visitors have access, not only to intimgate views of the mountains, but to the skyline itself, through the medium of the famed Long Trall. The Long Trail has been called the biggest thing in Vermont and the lodge of the Green Mountain Ciub, in Sherburne Pass near Rutland, offers one of many op- portuaities to sample the beauties of this footpath in the wilderness. There are several short scenic hikes that cans| be taken from here between meals. The lodge, erected by the Green Mountain Club, sponsors and guardi- ans of the Long Trail, is outstanding among 54 shelters of various types maintained by the club along the trail for the accommodation of hikers and the general public In a State predominantly agricul- tural, where the heroic figure of Agri- culture—not Ethan Allen—surmounts the State House dome, and the State flower is the humble red clover, it is not remarkable that the horse should still hold its place in the recreational picture. As the Green Mountain Club pioneered afoot on the Long Trail's 300 miles, so the Green Mountain mont another feature in its newly an- nounced total of 1,000 miles of marked trails and traffic free back roads for horseback riders. The guide book of Green Mountain horse trails features many trips of a day or longer, radiating from its various riding club centers. Three new “circle” routes have been added this season. There is a three-day trip from Woodstock, which includes Plymouth, with an overnight stop at a | farm house near the Coolidge place; a four-day trip from Brattleboro and a 10-day ride from Rutland. One farm house on one of the horse asso- ciation routes has reported that 211 | riders stopped overnight last season. Horse Association has given to Ver- | THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, JUNE 16, 1935—PART TWO. Colors Gayer In Costumes For Travel New Vacation M(;des Include Wash Silks, Printed Crepes. By the Associated Press, EW YORK, June 15—Travel clothes for Summer vacation- ists this year are gayer and more colorful than the tradi- tional lady-like ' “something dark.” Yet they are durable and com- fortable, too, being made of wash silks, the new “Summer” tweeds, and the lace and chiffon designed for fre- quent packing. For any method of travel many smert women are selecting jacket ensembles of printed silk crepe, with prim little geometric patterns in light colors on dark grounds. Blue with white is a favorite combination. One striking costume shown is of navy | blue, with a tiny novelty dot pattern | and wide revers of white pique on | the fitted jacket. Some steamship travelers are wear- ing Summer tweeds in luscious colors. One passenger sailing on the Nor- mandie wore a suit of soft raspberry woolen, with loose topcoat and a blouse of purple linen. SHK linen and Shantung are popu- lar for travel wardrobes this year because they pack well. A society woman sailing for Europe recently took with her for shipboard wear sev- eral sports dresess of silk linen in strong colors, such as gold, violet and rust. Two were made in shirtwaist RESORTS.

It was 25 years ago that Congress created a national parz out of the Blackfeets’ “Land of the Shining Mountains,” where glacier-studded peaks press skyward, aud saw-toothed ridges tower over placid lakes and ver- dant valleys. During its third season 11,000 per- sons visited the park. This season, E. T. Scoyen, park superintendent, forecasts a registration of more than 200,000 vacationists. Reservations to date, he said, are 70 per cent ahead of last year. “This year travel costs will be lower and accommodations better than ever,” sald Scoyen. “The air-condi- doubt give an extremely noticeable impetus to rail travel. To this must be added the tremendous interest in out-of-door recreation. For the first time in many years, the hotels in the park, the bus company and the sad- dle-horse people are getting ready for capacity operations.” T MASSACHUSETTS. tioping of passenger trains will no| Sports to Be Featured.
