leather. with the name Of the purchaser
they are $40. Why they are more, II

ed mystery unless the owner Of the con-
cession has lived in the rural districts
of Mexico, where the wholesale pur-

much more, In proportion, is charged
TO- articles bought in quantity, than
II purchased slngly.
There are penny-in- the slot machines
where glass of filtered water can be
secured for l cent There are water
booths where the same water is served
with a smile from pretty girl for

The visitors should so arrange their
plans that they can be at the fair
gates at o'clock the morning after
their arrival with rested bodies and un-
troubled minds, ready TO gain the ut
most benefit from the greatest educa-
tIonal factor they will probably ever
have the opportunity Of witnessing.
Even a Chicago lady during a recent
visit admitted that 1T Is really going
TO be just as good as ours"
Coming here without securing ac-
commodations in advance, would IN
volve a loss of at least one day In hunt
ing a room and another in resting up.
II would not pay to hunt room IN n
clearinghouse for less stay than q
MONTH as it viii be a difficult matter TO
find a room, unaided, where hotel rates
win not be charged, The folders pub
lshed by the temporary hotels are, in
the main, reliable BY writing to the
above address the prospective visitor

these hotels. and also get the addresses
OF agencies that are vouched for by the
fair management that have many
rooms listed in private houses for 81
day for each person two in room.
HOW AND WHEN TO ARRIVE.
If you do not like to take a room
without first seeing IT, plan to arrive
in st, Louis in the morning check hand
baggage at the depot, and take a car
direct TO the grounds Resist the temp
tation to enter or night will find you
still taking "just one little look" and
with no place TO sleep. 1t Is miles
around the grounds, There are about
a dozen large temporary hotels around
the outside one can be seen from the
other, so, between walking and the
streetcars, they can all be visited I'm n

ed To go TO the hotel inside the
grounds enter at the state building en-
trance. 1t Is in the southeast corner Of
the grounds.
II Is only by writing to these hotels
in advance that the 81 a day rate can
be expected and not then unless the
writer insists on It,, as OF course, they
will make especial effort TO keep their
high priced rooms filled The persons
who get 81 day rate in st. Louis this
summer can consider themselves eN-
tremely fortunate. That may seem lit
tie to some people, but the writer Is
making an especial effort 10 aid people

The grounds being miles from the
business center, visitors who stay Mt
the permanent downtown hotels must
be able TO afford the loss Of time going
and coming as well as the higher rates
An hour can always be counted on for
this trip as there are delays In trans
ferring and catching cars. II will he
tiresome as the cars are so crowded
that few can have seats,
EUROPEAN THE BEST
The European plan at the hotels is
the best, as each meal costs the same
whether all or only an occasional one
Is taken.
Fifty cents Is the prevailing price at
the temporary hotels for breakfast and
lunch, and rs cents and 81 FOR dinner
Short orders are served, but usually
make the meal more expensive.
Restaurants are, or rather will be-
scattered all over the fair grounds 10
Is somewhat difficult to keep world's
fair lenses straight, as things which
are here theoretically viii not be In full
running order before the LIST Of June.
II Il can be afforded 80 cents for
cup OF tea and few crackers at the
Ceylon-meals should be taken at all
the foreign restaurants, as tasting
their strange dishes will be an interest

DO not come before the lst of June
The Indian building will not be ready
before then, The Philippine exhibit
one OF the most interesting In the fair,
does not expect TO open before May IS,
and they may be delayed, The great
