on entrance, will admit one to
all Public, State or Foreign build
ings on the grounds, and one can
find enough in these to interest
her for weeks. The admission
fee also entities you to hear the
best bands, see the electric toun
tains, and fireworks, and above
all admire the picturesque beauty
of the whole city. | believemos
firmly that it would pay one to
take the trip to Chicago if she
had time to visit no exhibits
within the buildings. 1t is emo
bling and educating to be in such
artisticallv beautiful surround
ings, and for my part l cannot
conceive how anyone could re
greet the journey or begrudge the
expense.
The additional expenses can be
regulated by a persons means,
A launch ride on the lagoon, is
delightful; fifty cents is well in
vested in that pleasure. a ride on
the Intra mural Railroad gives
one good idea of the location
of the principal buildings i'll a
! limited amount of time; the fare
is ten cents. Many advise this
ride for the first day at the fair.
As for The Plaisancc. 1t is inter
esting, in the extreme, to walk
the length of the street before en-
tering a building; thecosmopoh-
tan character of the HE seen
there, is fascinating and truly
wonderful. But | am sure that
this walk is the best thing for
ones pocket book, tao, for the
character of some of the eX-
hibits is well advertised on the
T outside. A sort of dime museum
style is stamped on many OF
them. Some one has said that
"the Plaisance is very interest
mo but it is better to leave one S
morals at home" ! think that
one saves a large amount of sell
respect and a good deal of money
BY taking the morals along. We
5 adopted the latter plan and
r from the start avoided all the
theatres. There are some
e places on Midway, however
1 that are very enjoyable, The
=, lava and Irish Villages and Ole
!. Vienna, exhibit the industric:
c and life in the respective coun
p tries. The Moorish Palace /:
: wonderful; the mirror effect
&c comfort short arches into lonI
:, corridors, make three persons ap
l. pear as twenty and make tn
y whole interior a delightful maze
y The streets Of Cairo turnis
n more real sport than anything
n else on the grounds. 1t is Egypt
1t an life in reality. The mounting
rs and dismounting of the camel
e. and donkeys furnish a grea
is amount of amusement to til
I'd spectators. An Egyptian ma
S. riage procession takes place twie
to a day, at noon and at four p. m
e. and most people try to be at tt
r. Cairo streets at these hours. Fe'
OF people can afford to lose the e.
ar ioyment furnished by the Egyp
H. ian street. The German villag
is our party enjoyed. One of tt
o. greatest attractions here is tt
an typical German beer garden
tn two of Germany's best banC
ed play during the evening and &
l. ternate during the day the m
les sic is exquisite and we'll wort
ry the price of admission to Il
sh garden. The American Indian
ey furnish an interesting exhibi
ess Hazenbacks performance of bro
ng cho animals and the Libby Ola

air fractions, on the Plaisance, viii
ter we visited, yet we feel that '
to have seen the most that we ca

lat regretted doing so since. TT

range for individual taste a
