There might be other reasons given for
the carefulness of all French cooking, such
as high rents, the elevated price of fuel, by
reason of the city taxes (S30.UoUO OF rev.

rooms, each room containing a double
lower and upper berth of the pattern

rooms are much larger than the state.
rooms in the largest steamships; each
room being furnished in different col.

containing a wash.stand which is built

ranged so that it is really a receptacle
for hats, bonnets and small articles also
containing a clothes brush, hair brush,
comb, ETC., and by pulling down the
metal handle large silver wash basin
is brought into position, and right above
the basin are two faucets, one for hot,
and one for cold water. In the other
corner of the room is a handsomely
cushioned seat which can be turned to
one side, exposing the closet. Electric
bells and every convenience that can
possibly be crowded into a hotel room
are in these compartments. The prices
are the same as in the standard open

choice, as we run one car of each pat.
