HOW TO SEE THE FAIR.
Practical Suggestions about Matters
That Every Pilgrim To Chicago
Ought TO Understand.

WHO contemplate VlSlI 10 Gne WOFlu
Fair:
Permit me to give our friends some
points on how to edo" the Fair.
will preface my statements with
the advice to come without delay.
If you haven't the money take De-
pew's advice ard borrow it, Doubtless,
not again will you have such an OPP
portunity to see SO much OF the world,
and you will not for an equal amount
Of money.
In magnitude and variety the Fair
exceeds comprehension TO one who
has not seen it.
First send and get q guide and both
large and small art catalogues, and
read them well before coming.
Provide yourselves with everything
you need for comfort and economy of
time, and and don't waste time and
energy shopping here.
Locate as near the Fair as possible
and facing the Plaisance at or near
the Portland Hotel Going to and
from the city will take rnore time and
strength than youEcan possibly save in
money.
Engage aroom only, but breakfast is
not Objectionable, Engage a room
through friend, before coming, if you
can.
Don't make any special visit to your
State or other State buildings. You
will have occasion to drop in them
and rest.
Don't make a special visit to the
Electricity, Machinery, horticultural
or Woman's Buildings until you have
seen others. Very likely you will have
occasion to walk through them and
thereby see all you will have time to
see in their display, unless especially
interested Ignore the first named un
til the last.
Don't undertake to see all Of one
building the same day. Spend a few
hours at one and attend a noonQree)
orchestral concert and then take some
other building and close up on Plais-
ance, and you will thereby get change
which is needful. For instance, spend
say two hours in the Liberal Arts
Building, attend concert, go to an art
gallery for few hours and then go to
the Plaisance.
II you are exhausted before the last
named then drop in on Old Vienna or
Old Germany, in the Plaisance, and
listen to the music, and if you are a
woman get lunch; if man, your
beer and cigar.
Whenever you can drop into a seat
and rest while looking at an exhibit.
DO that especially in the Art Gallery.
IT you don't understand anything,
ask. The exhibitors and people are
patient and kind.
Don't hunt up resturants-the
prices are about the same. Go to the
one nearest you and eat, Don't exercise
false economy here. You can live as
cheaply here as in any large city and
any day get ten times the value o.
your money in what you learn and see
Don't be prudish. See anything ON the
PIaisance. II you can stand the Art Gal
lery you can afford to see and laugh a
anything on the Plaisance.
The dancing in the Turkish an(
Oriental thearters may be disgusting
but you can see them and learn some
thing. Ignore Chicago and downtown
theaters, for they can be seen in ther'
future.
Everything you need to amuse an(
instruct you can be found here.
60 down town Sunday to churcl
and don't 60 to the Fair. You will
likely need the religious food. l an

The Art Gallery will doubtless trout
lie you more than anything, as it is mis-
erably catalogued, as to finding whs
you want. The best way | have foun
