His Wife in London.

His Wife in London.
CHICAGO, June To.-l have quite
made up my mind that it would never
do for you to come on and join me
here. One day of it would be more
than ample for you; and if you ever
see Chicago, | should like you to do
so under normal conditions, when it is
not demoralized as it is at present
The big show is a wonderful thing in
its way, but there is nothing much in it
except its magnitude, that we have not
seen before AT present, going to see
it is like going to occupy new house
before the plasterers and other work
men are out Of it. The arrangements
are vile as regards comfort, and not
likely to improve. The Chicago people
don't understand what comfort means.
1t may be a great educational show,
but you don't want to come to be edu-
Gated. In the days of our youth
education was impaired with the
greatest degree Of discomfort possible !;
and the popular educators of the
Worlds Fair have been most successful
in keeping up the traditions The
distances to walk are prohbitive for a
