HOTELS AND RESORTS.
Unique Summer Resort.
The Inside Inn at the Worlds Fair At
fords CHeXcelled Advantages for the
SOjourner During the Hot Months.
Costs Less Than Equally Good Accom-
modatiOns Outside the Fair Grounds.

The biggest summer resort hotel in
the United States is located at ST.
Louis, inside the Worlds Fair grounds.
Thousands of persons spend month
or so at the seaShore or in the noun
tains, during the heated term, at sum-
mer resort hotels. This year those
who are able to enjoy an extended sea-
son of ''resorting" have something new
to try. Seashore and mountain, after
r1any seasons, pail upon one. But
here is chance to go summering in
a new and wonderful way.
The Inside Inn accommodates 5000
guests. II is inside the Worlds Fair
enclosure, and yet it is so located that
it has all the advantages of home in
the woods. The natural trees of Forest
Park surround the Inside Inn. There
are many acres of noble trees, with
the hansome state buildings here and
there, so that the hotel appears to be
located in select suburban section
of a beautiful city Being open to
the south and situated on high ground,
there is an unobStructed sweep of
southern breeZes. Far away from the
dust and CRIME of the city, and yet
within a few minutes walk of the
heart of the Worlds Fair, this hotel
offers greater inducements as a place
Of summer resort than any other
hosiery IN the world TINS season.
The Inn is far from the seashore,
but it is so near the wonderful Cas-
cade Gardens of the Exposition that
the roar of the leaping and dashing
waters is audible. There is no beach
and board walk, with band-stand
music; but there is the magnificent
Festival Hall, with its world of ia
nous orchestras and its ponderous
Pipe organ.
~,
| comforts of home while they are see
| ing the Worlds Fair, and it is not to
be doubted that great many indi-
viduals families and parties will do
their summer resorting there this sea-
son.

Orchid Triumph For Countess.
(From n New York Letter.

(From q New York letter.
Whenever the Countess de Castel-
lane digs into the Gould fortune for
the purpose Of entertaining she gives
Paris something to talk about. Her
most recent fete was as sumptuous
as those Of tho past. The Duke and
Duchess of Thurn and Taxis were the
guests of honor, and the Countess
stood beside them on a raised plat
form banked with roses. The best
society of Paris bowed before the
American hostess and her noble guests
and then retreated in wonderment to
study the gown the Countess was
wearing. Jay Gould's daughter has
become a past mistress of the art Of
dressing, and ON this occasion her
frock was a marvel. 1t was pale yell
low chiffon velvet, and the skirt was
covered with orchids deftly embroid-
cred These orchids were outlined In
gold. threads, and the color scheme OF
mauve and yellow was unusual 1t is
said 10 women worked on the Coun-
tcBs gown day and night in order to
finish the embroidered flowers. The
Ubdice was trimmed with real orchids,
and all the Castellane jewels added a
further brilliant touch to the orchid
costume.
