In writing this letter we thought IL
would be proper and right to give
some advice In going and how to do
at the Worlds Fair. First, don't go
without an overcoat or heavy cloak,
or shawl, as You will find 1t very cool
there from five In the afternoon till
seven the next morning. II you
haven't plenty OF money always buy
your lunch on the outside. Have q
place where you can get warm break.
fast Oh the European plan for fifty
cents, for you are entitled to all OH
the card II you want it. ...
Before going into tho grounds pro-
per, stop at one of the fruit and lunch
stands. and buy e lunch, and basket
and some fruit; you can buy four fine
pears for ten cents, andltwo OF three
pounds OF the finest grapes for ten
cents. other fruits In proportion. Here
you will save money, Ii gentleman,
take your own backing and brush, by
which you will save ten to fifteen
cents day; II you take your shaving
tools, you can save from fifteen to
twenty cents every time you will
want to be shaved.
In going to the fair, get up early In
the morning and enter large building
first, as you will not lie crowded in
one much before eleven o'clock, and
in three hours time you will see q
great deal which you would not see
In a crowd, and don't you know. that
getting through a crowd and getting
jostled about Is what will make you
tireder In one hour than in three where
you have plenty of room. Don't go
too fast, but strike a moderate gait.
and in going into building always go
in the-flrst aisle. then take the right
hand and take 1t clear around. then
take the second aisle next on the same
plan. You will find that you can
walk the second one much quicker, as
1t is not so far around as the first.
II it should be the largest building
one round. or aisle, the first day, then
sit down, il You feel tired, on ono Of
the seats, OF which there are plenty
and rest yourself. Then leave 1t and
go to the smaller buildings and work
on the same plan. Keep note OF the
buildings that you have been In. go
that you will not get In the same
building twice. When noon has ar,
rived eat your lunch, and In eating
have a set time. Don't drink too
much OF the hydrant water, better pay
a cent glnss for it. to be on the safe
eide. Don't fail to see tab. Montana.
