There in one fact that might as well
be faced and accepted by conservative

which women remained secluded in
their houses, thinking and knowing
nothing of the world around them, has
passed forever They are now merely
experimenting in means and methods,

applying with wisdom and without

they have had any experience, that eX-

This is one great point gained. The
need of coming in contact with human

The plan upon which this branch of
the worlds fair service is operated is

partment has registered landlords and
owners who have houses and rooms to

be found accommodations suited to the
purse of the person of modest means or
the more ample capital of the wealthy.

of more prctentisus apartments can he
secured, and at as reasonable rates
and with far less trouble than would
be experienced were the parties to
wait until their arrival to engage
them.

plication, giving full particulars and
containing blank form of application
