New York. Aug. 16.-The average out
of-town woman, who has no friends In
New York to guide her sightseeing is
apt to return home disappointed. She
feels that, after all, New York is like
dozen other cities she has seen, only
larger, more nosy and more expensive.
To provide for such women an timer
airy, presenting some of the most inter-
esting features of metropolitan life at
a nominal cost, has been the object in
preparing this article.
Before leaving home, put firm hand
on the nerves, and determine not to be-
come confused. Confusion means cabs
and is expensive. The city's plan is
simple and the streets are clearly
market. New Workers are so accus-
toned to sightseeing that giving in
formation is second nature. No woman
need hesitate to question any man in
uniform, whether he be policeman. rail-
road employe, hotel attache or dis
trict messenger boy.
Bear in mind, that in the matter Of
dress, New York is the most democratic
of cities. Don't burden yourself with
quantities of luggage. A rainy-day
skirt, plenty of fresh shirt waists, a
gown suitable for dinner or theater
wear, and stylish hat, proof against
dust and humidity, are the essentials.
The clerk at the hotel of your home
town can recommend respectable To-
tells in New York, where room on the
European plan can be secured for 81
or $3.50 per day. Your meals will be
bought wherever sightseeing carries
you. Or If you prefer hotel exclu-
sively for women, write in advance to
The Margaret Louise Home, centrally
located at IA East Sixteenth street,
managed by the Young Women's Chris
tan Association. Attractive single
rooms, with use of bath, can be had
here for so cents day. Breakfasts and
lunches in the restaurant attached to
the home cost 20 cents each, dinners
IS cents. When writing, state clearly
the day of your arrival and enclose one
days lodging otherwise you may find
every room occupied.
On reaching the depot or ferry house,
wait until the first rush of passengers
is over, and ask an attendant or police
man which motor car will take you
nearest your hotel. In all probability
you will be landed almost at the door.
The car fare is 5 cents. A hanson
would cost from rs cents to $1.50. If
possible, plan to reach the city late in
the afternoon, and have a good nights
rest before starting on the first days
pleasuring.
