OF without grey-cOated guides, maps and
catalogue galore, while others are salts
fed with themselves as cicerones. Per-
sonally, there is nothing so distracting as
guide books. No sooner do you get bag
gage in place and self adjusted for the
journey to Chicago than your seat is in
yaded by all sorts of pamphlets relative
to sojourn at the fair. AS these books
show, there are many men of many minds,
therefore, the printed information avail
eth you nothing but veXation of spirit.
Don't purchase your information Get it
gratis from your acquaintance who have
previously learned by experiences, sad
and otherwise. They can tell you far
better than the most cleverly written ad-
Vertlsement, how to make dollar do a
'hverS work. And all such financial
bits of knowledge will bring you many
delightful after reflections, for none of
us enjoy being cheated out of even the
smallest of coins.
If YOU can find the time during your
strols through the buildings, or have
enough strength after the day is done to
peruSe guide books, why do it, and buy
one OF the official guides from the elfsh,
red-ttanneled urchins who sell them
good ones-25 cents, extra fine for an ad-
dluonal dime. But doing the fair sys-
temaucally is a wearisOme and irkSome
Undertaking, and converts what might be
pleasing and instructive diversion into
Ianorious business transaction. One
can get the situation of the buildings
hrmly fixed in mind by taking the in
lfdmuraI on entering the gates and going
from the north loop to the south one.

credit that their lack of information is
