"One of the amusing things of lie

that eastern people feel for the resi-

However, | must confess that it has
been also my experience that everyone

miles of Boston and spent one week or
a fraction thereof under a Boston roof
Is straight from Boston by the time he
reaches the Pacific coast. This must
be because they are uncertain as to
their own merits and prefer to trust to
Boston's to carry them through At

| without board. This, you say, is just
| double what you want to pay. You
expect room without board at two
dollars per day. You finally compro-
mise On three dollars day for room
without board for yourself and com
panion.
This is the usual price in small no
tel Or large boarding house. The room
you can get at that price is about ten
by twelve, is nicely furnished and is
comfortable and desirable in every way.
If you care to pay more you can have
larger room. But this is wholly I'M
necessary. and, in crowded times like
these. it is silly for anyone VINO stops
at small hotel to ask for more than
this amount of space for two people.
Where there are children, and perhaps
q whole family of young and old peo-
pie, it is different. There must be liv-
ing and breathing space.
But there are those who do not want
to pay three dollars day for two
people, merely for lodging. They want
three dollars to cover the whole eS-
pense of board and rooms. This is
harder to manage. But it can be done
in this way:
There are plenty of private families
in Chicago who will rent room to
people who want a place in which to
sleep and who are warranted to be
quiet and respectable when in cthe
house. These families consider them
selves well paid if they can rent hall
bedroom for say $40 month. They
are willing that two or even three
people shall occupy it, provided they
take care of the room themselves.
These obliging lsndladies do not object
to little light housekeeping on the
premises, and will even supply dishes
and cooking utensils for use on tiny

Two young women, one newspaper

can travel and live in the west at rates
rs low as travelling and living on the
continent.
So many people are hesitating about
coming simply because they do not
| know whether they can afford it or
not. II they could find out just what
it would cost they could make their ar
engagements to come and live within a
prescribed sum. Or they might even
add to it if they could know that such
addition would be reasonably neces-
sary.
Women, especially, are cautious in
starting upon a journey, whereof the
expense may be as the descent of
Avernus. Thus it comes about that
very many worthy women and women
whom Americans would be glad to see
mingling with representative foreign
ers, are stranded at home, through
sheer timidity of venturing upon the
unknown.
Now the question of cost at the
worlds fair is not an uncertain or
shifting one. It a very definite thing.
1t can be outlined TO nicely for the
benefit of all who propose to take the
trip. A careful calculator can compute
the cost almost to dollar, and can ar
rive far more nearly at what the mel
ancholy Mr.. Mantilini called 1.-The dem

were to be made to Europe, or even to

The railroad fare is usually a fixed
figure. But by getting excursion rates
this is somewhat reduced from the reg
ular fare. Just how much the reduc-
ton will be can only be ascertained by
inquiring at the railroad office of the
company. Possibly the company win
make special rates for party of TWEEN

In a late trip made by Prof. John w.
Beatty, of Pittsburgh, Pa. TO the Vel
1owstone park. his route being by tho
Rock Island railway. he was moved to
write of it in a manner that indorees
the above statement, and in a private
letter says:

of the west far exceeds every thought

also astonishing. From the marvel

are simply charming in their wealth
