BARBADOS By Raymond Savage
Mr. Savage has written a useful little guide (Barker, is.) for the prospective visitor to Barbados, and anybody going to that pleasant island should take a copy with him. The most westerly of the Windward Islands, Barbados lies 13 degrees north of the Equator, but on account of the Trade Winds it enjoys a sub-tropical climate, and is one of the healthiest spots in the West Indies. Mr. Savage calls the island the "nearest place to perfection," and this enthusi- astic record of his impression on a conducted tour gives many good reasons for his opinion. One is that this island, unlike certain other of the British West Indies, has retained its English atmo- sphere, and the visitor will not find himself, as elsewhere, plunged into the whirl of American social life. Mr. Savage gives full details of fares, hotel charges, beauty-spots, schools, sport and residential facilities and generally observes the rules governing pocket compilations of this sort, even to having his photographs dimly reproduced on greenish art-paper.
