touched. You do not have time to
dress, so great is the rush, from rise
to set Of sun and thence till the ''iron
tongue Of midnight hath tolled
twelve" And so big is the town and
so immense is the crowd that it mat
ters very little how one looks. This
Of course, is trifle hard on your van
ity, but after week in the Windy |
City you will have marvelOusly |
small amount of vanity left to your
credit.
OIn your. little silk handbag you
should carry your purse, powder-rag,
handkerchiefs, and any little extras
you may need. This with your wrap
across your arm, is all that you will
need.
And now, If you intend to visit the
Fair in September, let me advise you
to secure your sleeper at least ten days
in advance, for
ALL THE WORLD
will turn it's face towards the fair
White City, in the beautiful autumn
month. or your car fare and arrange
ments ! hNe nothing to say, not be-
ing sufficiently posted. But when
you reach Grand Crossing just south
of the Fair, and out of Chicago's linn
it, my spirit will hover over you, di-
recting you henceforth, until you
leave the clty-richer and wiser, an
hundred fold.
II you reach the city of Chicago via
the Illinois Central you will have no
trouble at all in reaching your destin-
alton; despite the feeling Of concentra-
ted orphanage which sweeps over you
as you step from the sleeper into that
mass of humanity always surrounding
a city railway station.
All that you have to do is to follow
the crowd, which will lead you up a
steep, narrow flight Of iron steps into
the magnificent waiting room of the
Illinois Central, with its mosaic floor,
stained windows overlooking the lake,
and polished furniture inviting you to
rest. Here your friends, (if'you have
any In the city, will meet you, or an
usher will, for a small fee, put you in
proper cab, or bus, or cartlet, or di.
rect you to the nearest Car line. Those
Of you, who, like myself board on
Michigan Avenue, near Twelfth
/. Street, need neither cab nor Car, as it
is but a few minutes walk from the
station.
Should you have apartments en-.
gagged out near the Fair, instead of in
the city, you must get off at the Hyde
Park station, where you will meet
with same courteous treatment as at
the Central. Indeed, woman must
be vastly out of her way or else be
more than ordinarily stupid, to lost
her way in Chicago. The police sys
