A REGULARITY or CHICAGO
which stamps her as young. vely young indeed
in the fact OF no buggies being hers anchored t.
the sidewalk by weight attached to the horses
halter. On Broad street stand line OF coupee
| which the man who has made q fortune or LOST
one can drive home in when the days gambling
is ended; public conyeyances, cheap OF hire and
convenient for use. But that peculiarly Of mod
est private conveyance which linca LaSalle
his horses nose anywhere na2r the sidewalk, ID
not to be seen hero. Many OF these
men live far out Of town,-not few OF them
On the new Bou1eyards,-nnd, In tho morning,
drive their fine horses and light wagons through
tho Park to the lower eud, leaving them 1t soma
uptown stable, and then take a coupe, car, OF
stage, to tho lower part OF tho city. A few driys
or are drivon all the way down but these find
some accommodation for horse and carriage be-
side the public thoroughfares.
F1RsT-CLAs5 THEATRES
have Increased in number during the past two
years, but are about closing or have already
closed for tho summon, az regards their regular
companies, and are being taken Possession OF by
proyincials, who thus fancy they are playing to
metropolitan audiences. The fact Is. they oc-
cupy New York theatres, and exhibit themselves
to race Of people who, a. nomadic a. them
selves, are mere birds Of passage, halting at the
various hotels for fsw days. Compare
sons may Bcrm tnvidioua; but the fact
that SONS Of the New York companies will visit
you this summer will do no harm other to the
audiences OF native talent. II they perform with
half the ability and finish they do here, Chicago
people will be less incline to be satisfied with
slpshod performances by second-rato artists,
and the players themselves may get Soma valu-
able hints. Lester WallacA has. in accordance
with his usual custom, besn allowing certain
characters to play him !; but, while hs is always
himself, his really superior talent afrords aoma
apology for it. Little Bi jon Heron is indeed
manifested signs OF genius, she will bid fair to
outri7al her once-1enowned mother. It makes
one feel sad, however, to SEQ her thus carly
th1uEt before the world, and engender a hope that
her future may not be clouded either through her
own or any others fault. Fanny Davenport has
been winning golden opinions, and has proven
herself something better than q mere lay-faura
to trail across the stage the last new, pEononcs
costume OF the Paris dem1-monde.
Chicago still has the pas OF New York in
HOTELS,
unless we may except the old BEe!oort. which
still holds its own in the way Of quiet elegance
and high prices. In other respects there is
nothing better than the Palmer House sr Grand
Pacific to be found mere. though at present all Of
item reem to be uncomfostab1J crowded. 4
lady finds it in her heart to regret ths old dsJs,
before elevators became one OF ths modern i'm
proyements. Then tho lower floors were devoted
to her accommodation, and the unmarried mas
cullne wended his way skyvard. Now shs is just
~ he is; and, generally speaking, she doesn't
like it.
People have often laughed 1t me- when ha1s
$4,000 rER Asau1
was necessary for one to live comfortably in Ner
York without many superduties. By these
mean unlimited diamonds. fancy horsefesh, and
d steam yacht, or even one schoonor-built These
were people, however. who looked upon the dol
lars as money, not things. It il frequently
forced upon my conviction now that $50, 900
minute would be nearer the requisite sum, il one
gratiied ali his tastes. IA Tanders up Broad
way aud lounges in the large drygoods stores,
the ]ace-shopt, the jewellers. thence to tho AT
snue, looks upon the houses and equipages, aud
marks the quiet but elegant dress Of most OF tho
native pedestrians, ha really wonders whether
$4,000 year would be enough
70 buy What hs would feel that
be should really need. New York
is profuse in all things, eyen In Aer charities,
and there are constant demands being uaada up
on her puTse-strings for other needs besides
mere selfish ones. Weddings are the order Of
he day, aud outgoing steamers have all thsir
best accommodations engaged for weeks ahead.
THE TRIP TO EUROPE

ourists' routes, both At home and abroad, are

money in your purse, and the world il before |
