THE CALDER HoUsE.-Since Madame ,Gidiere
has assumed charge Of this hotel, formerly 30
well known as the "Planter's," it has grown
wonderfully in favor, as well With the transient
public as with the large class Of persons who
desire Arst-class private board at moderate
rates in quiet neighbornood, and yet in close
proximity to the business portions Of Broad
street and the Bay. The estimable hostess
has entirely refurnished the house in neat and
comfortable style; the servants are attentive
and well trained, and the table dhote is pro-
vided with an abundance and elegance that
fully sustains the reputation IN that respect
which Madame Gidiere acquired when in charge
Of the Mansion House. The rates are adapted
to the times and to the changed fortunes Of
our people, and, under it's present manage
ment, the Calder House bids fair to become
one of the institutions Of Charleston.
