When I went into the dinin1-Hoom 81
the principal hotel one of those neatly |
dressed demure dining-room girls camo
M, stood beside me and fired this az
me:

tions of hotel life. As general thing
however, the dining-room girl IL the
most lively and interesting feature OF
the small hotel. She is the successor
to the English barmaid, transf% med IN
accordance with modern ideas.
Chicapoans and other western people
run down to the seaside for their sum-
mer vacation? Probably for no other
reason than that it is the style 1t
seems to me that better country for
summer resorts is hardly to be tound
anywhere than here around the great
lakes. Within twenty-four hours rldo
Of Chicago there is scenery as wildly
romantic and beautiful d. any that the
) seashore offers. There is every imag-
Unable sport and pastime-hunting'
fishing, yachting, steamboating, CLIMB
: ing mountains, bathing in the lakes
and the beauty of it is that most OF the
places where these things are to oe mac
have not yet reached the pos1tlon O
> summer resorts-that is to say, the pco
+ pie have not yet learned to charge 81
a prices for every thing you buy--and tn
5. places are not overcrowded, there is n
a restriction as to style, and one can O.
i just as he pleases.
In some places attempts have bee
e made to esta blish regular summer re
N sorts. How pitied the poor folks VIII
