The “Golden Isles’*
An outstanding attraction on
, the tour each year, but one
r j which is never listed as such, is
r the God-given natural beauty
1 of the “golden isles.” The cause
’ way leading to the Island is a
' drive through “the length and
f the breadth and the sweep of
, the Marshes of Glynn.” On the
■ Island itself, the marshes are
' never far away. Driving in the
• quiet shade of a road canopied
by massive live-oaks and drip
ping Spanish moss through
which the sun makes lacey pat
terns, one approaches a clear
ing and suddenly gazes once
more on the magnificence of the
marshes. And the sea .... be
fore it can be seen, there is the
promise of the sea.
The loveliness, which is St.
Simons, Sea Island and Frede
rica, seems to form a tremend
out stage on which the various
scenes and settings of a magni-
I ficent pagent unfold, as the vis
[ itor moves from one to another
of the homes and gardens on
the tour.
The tour will include:

ral design and beautiful land
