PROVISIONS FOR THE INNER MAN
have not been overlooked in all this
array of new furniture, good ventilation
and bright light. The man who wrote !:
We may live without learning, live without
But civilized man cannot live without cooks,
wrote what is as true today as when
first written. The Redondo hotel
prides itself upon its cooking and table
service, which are second to those of no
hotel in western America. The steward
is Mr.. j. w. Walsh, who has no end of
resources upon which to draw in the
way of house supplies: and the wine
room, which embraces the very choicest
vintages of Europe and America, is like
wise under his charge. The chef is M.
E. Magne, formerly in similar position
with the PacifcU Union club at San
Francisco. A visit to the kitchen re-
veals that official in all "the pomp and
circumstance" of snowy white linen at
tire every day in the year, as they pre-
pare the food for those whose appetites
have been sharpened by the crisp ocean
air. Returning to the dining room,
which is capable of seating 800 persons,
we find q sable corps of walters in swal-
low-tail coats, under the leadership of
the head waiter, Daniel Adams, whose
training in this branch of the business
has made him simply perfect in his
business. The men under him know
that the slightest neglect of guest
would be the signal for dismissal, and
consequently all are waited upon with
impartial attention. A glance over the
bill of fare reveals not only all the luxu.
ries obtainable in the vicinity OF Los
Angeles, but also from every point con-
templated in the railway geography.
Salmon from the snow-fed Columbia re-
lieve the yellowtails and bonitas of the
Santa Barbara channel; grouse from the
Willamette valley alternates with the
quail of the Sierra Madre, and venlHon
from the mountains of Arizona comes to
replace the eucculent mutton of our
alfalfa pastures.
THE REDoNDo HOTEL
is therefore, what it's projectors designed
it to be-a great home for 400 people,
comforts they had left behind them at
the domestic hearthstone and liberal
as has been the expenditure of money to
quires something more than outlay of
money to perfect them or even render
them possible. 1t demands diligence,
civility and good Judgment ia every de-
partment of hotel to unite such staff
as that of the Redondo; and thosequali-
6cations, as most of the travelling pubic
will attest, are not acquired in a day
nor in year. The most striking feature
of this house, however, is its moderate
charges, when the accommodations are
taken into consid deration. A man can
come here and stay 90 days in midwinter
for the same amount OF money that it
would coat him 10 stay 40 days IN
most of the hotels at the winter
resorts of Florida and Mississippi; and
as for its summer rates they are less than
one-half OF those charged at Long
Branch, Newport, Cape May or Bar
Harbor. This is what is destined to
make the Redondo the most popular of
all California's seaside resorts. Travel
ers from the Orient pronounce it the
most homeiike hotel in the world, and
Australians cay that the attractions of
Kogarah and Queenscliffe are nowhere
beside it. In these days of extortion on
the part of landlords from those whose
bodily mlsfortuues have driven them to
lhe seaside resorts, the moderate charges
of the Redondo hotel stand out in
marked and grateful contrast. It's own
ers have expended large Gums of money
to make it what it is, and will zee that it's
prestige is kept up by their successors
in the task they have 30 cleverly begun
