WORLDS lair LETTER.
CHICAGO, Aug. II, 1893.
DEAR NEws-On the Chicago
United party of six, bound for
he Worlds Fair, and all of us de-
.ermined to see everything we could
or our money. We made things
lively in the Pullman, despite the
heat and dust, calling forth many
lisapproving glanoes from the sew
,ere old ladies in the rear section,
md the dyspeptic gentleman across
he way. However, the other pas
engers proved kindred spirits and |
.mong them we made warm friends.
Not quite the proper thing to do,
tut we left Dame Etiquette in Waco
When we started out.
Arriving in Chicago, we plunged
nadiy into the vortex Of steamirg |
If one had time it
would be amusing to stand of and |
watch the struggles of the tourists,
AS they wildly.tear after cable cars
Or parley with vociferous and avari.
,ious cabmen. But we had no time |
o bestow on others, for once in our
ives; we were so decidedly in the
win that it was all we could do to |
ook after ourselves. We had been
careful to take very little baggage, |
out that little was not forthcoming |
or some days, so we had to replen.
sh our wardrobes at the ready. |
made counters, but as regulation |
costume is a blouse or batiste and |
! wool skirt we looked all right,
consequently were happy.
At last the Mecca Of our
hopes was reached and the
great "White City" lay before us,
md if one saw nothing but this
view he might we'll feel repaid for
lis trip. 1t is the one thing that |
he mind will retain, when every.
hing else is kaleidoscope. The
immense white buildings cleaning
ike marble, in ethe perfect symme.
ny of'their architectural beauty, the
wonderful display of landscape
gardening, and the artificial lakes
md lagoons that thread in and out |
If the wooded islands, that are
connected by artistic bridges, make
picture on which the eye could
east forever.
The most beautiful spectacular
sight that l have ever witnessed
vas the night illumination of the
buildings and islands. The quaint
sondolas, hung with colored lights,
5lided over the silent water; the
fountain sprays, thrown hundreds
IF feet in the air, caught and re.
1ected the rainbow lights from cleo,
.ric light and fireworks that seemed
to spring from magician's wands. |
