Brief but Breezy Sketch-Chaperone not
Necessary Big to be Imagined.
by GEORGIA PULsIFER PORTER.
1t is, | believe, Maine editor who de.
serves the credit of saying that be "pre,
ferred story Of a dog-fght to anything
about the Worlds Fair, but fortunately
there is large number of people who do
not agree with him and who are anxious
to know something of the Fair, and as
there sre vet three weeks at least in which
people may erj,y this privilege perhaps a
word Of my trip will not be amiss.
First | would emphasize the fact that
no woman should allow a scanty wardI obe
to prevent h,r making this .urncy. for
there Is little doubt that any great amnuIt
OF baggage would be an annoyance. For
myself, | spent three weeks from home,
two weeks in Chicago, and had my travel
NC dress, some of the stylish waists and
pue dress in which to fresheu up on my
turn to the hotel from the grounds
and always felt as though | wore
appropriate dress. Another fact al
though there are those who will tell
you that u" woman can do the Fair
or thicsgo without an escort, still
such assertions lind no responsive echoes
~ th ne sor one of the pleasures of my
trip ), the fact that depended upon my
-r'f from the time | took the cars IRON
our own station until returned there
three weeks later.
OF course received unnumocred kind
nesses, but sl the time | was conscious
hat ! must look out for myself The
guides at The grounds are particularly
KIND a. rule; one who. in my estimation
deserves special mention, is No. ! ,2I2, by
The namc Of Pierson, who now has re-
turned - his school, but he was not an
exception for geHtiemsnly Kindness, for
tary were the rule not the exception.
o'r hing, too, Is noticeable to a"down-
eater the readiness with which people
who kAuw give information IN Chicago,
particularly the residents of the city. Ny
hoie! was the Mecca nearly four miles
from toe grounds, but the ride, whether
By the e!csSted road or the cable cars, was
One who enjoys meeting people from
different sections Of our country will meet
many Pleasant people In this way who will
AID y"u or whom you can help. How
pleasantly remember two beautiful! young
ladies whom met from Texas; perhaps
later may tell you Of these Young ladies'
active In good work.
