teresting Itinerary.
 A writer in the Chicago Evening Post, IL. M. McC.," offers the follow ing suggestions on spending week at the Worlds Fair to best advantage. He says:
 Rooms at $1.25 and $1.50 day. with breakfast, are abundant. When land- ing at the union station, if undecided about location, go at once to the bureau of information in the station, where lists of rooming-houses and small hotels may be had. Choose a place near the grounds if possible. If in walking distance so much the better, as one may be independent of crowded cars and save car fares.
 It Is best to have breakfast at the boarding-house or near by, and depend on the restaurants of the Exposition for luncheon and dinner. I have yet to hear of case of extortion, and the restaurants in the grounds are inter esting If one chooses wisely.
 Just word about clothes. The wise woman will wear lightweight walk tng suit, with dark waist-as pretty as she choose In neckwear--and the man will have lightweight coat and get rid of heavy vest. White shirtwaists are joy to womankind, but by mid day they lose their freshness and at night they are distressing. A silk shirt waist suit Is not warm and just the thing.
 MONDAY--Get a bird'seye view. Make it an outdoor day. Take map ,f the grounds and get your bearings Fake the Intramural train at Station , |, or at Station IF. the terminus, and [ eide all the way around. keeping both . eyes wide open for points of interest ! noted on the map. Leaving the Intra- l mural after the round trip, walk to-l ward the Grand Basin and Cascade ! Fountains. identifying the buildings llong the way, drinking in the beauty. resting near the music pavilion to hear one or two numbers, studying the Louisiana monument and finally climb Ing the Colonnade of States.
 Statuary has greeted one on every side. The artists names are conspi- cuous and no time is lost in taking this walk leisurely. From the Colonnade of States, with map In hand, one may pick out the large buildings and get enduring impressions of the grand eur of the Exposition as a whole.
 A return walk may be made to the right past the German building to the Sunken garden and the imposing Gov ernment building. But by all means stay out of doors one day. Take sup per out of doors and finger around the Grand Basin while the lights are being turned on. Choose place near band stand and after dark take to the Pike and keep out of doors.
 TUESDAY--If one is lover of art devote the early hours to the galleries. Take the Intramural to Art Palace sta tion. Make up your mind that you can't see 1t all and spend this morning in the east pavilion-Sweden, Ger many, Holland, Canada, Austria. At noon go out of doors and turn to the left. Take lunch on some pleasant porch along the way--a cup of tea in Japan or Ceylon. Follow the water ways to the Music pavilion and flower beds and the Peace monument. If your tastes so incline. walk through Machinery and Transportation build Ings and perhaps the Electricity build ing.
 Spend the evening on the Pike.
 WEDNESDAY--Ent the grounds at the Administration entrance, or via the Intramural. Visit the Aus trian house for art and arts craft, the finest display of It's kind on the grounds; Holland house, a reproduc- tion of an old Dutch house. with a copy of Rembrandt's Might Watch" Sweden, modest establishment of a hunting club; Great Britain, with it's old English garden and trimmed shrub bery, and rooms Illustrating different periods of English furnishing; Bel gium, China, Cuba, Brazil, Nicaragua. Siam and Mexico and the extremely in teresting exhibit of Belgium. France lies just across the way--a reproduc- tion of the Grand Trianon and the Garden of Versailles-and the little Italian temple crowns a hilltop. Here in a group is enough to occupy all day. The United States life-saving ex- hibit, the Ferris wheel. the Forestry and Fish and Game buildings are in the same locality.
 THURSDAYAGo direct to the Fine Arts Palace and see Great Britain and the United States pavilion. When weary leave the Art Palace. walk to the right. lunch at one of the out-of- door cafes. if you can afford it. in Germany. Then visit the Palace of
