Post, u. NJ. McC.," offers the follow
ing suggestions on spending a week at
the Worlds Fair to best advantage.
He says:
Rooms at $125 and $3.50 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
clearinghouse or near by, and depend
on the restaurants of the Exposition
for luncheon and dinner l have yet
to hear of a 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 a lightweight walk
ing suit, with dark waist-as pretty as
she choose in neckwear-and the man
will have a lightweight coat and get
rid of a heavy vest. White shirtwaists
are joy to womankind, but by mid
day they lose their freshness and at
night they are distressing. silk shirt
waist suit is not warm and just the
thing
MONDAY-Get a birds eye view.

Of the grounds and get your bearings.
Take the Intramural train at Station
1, or at Station II, the terminus, and
ride all the way around, keeping both
eyes wide open for points of interest
noted on the map. Leaving the Intra
mural after the round trip, walk to-
ward the Grand Basin and Cascade
Fountains, identifying the buildings
along 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 a map in hand, one
may pick out the large buildings and
get enduring impressions of the grand
eur of the Exposition as whole.
A return walk may be made to the
right past the German building to the
Sunken garden and the imposing Gov
eminent building. But by all means
stay out of doors one day Take sup
per out of doors and linger around the
Grand Basin while the lights are being
turned on. Choose a place near band
stand and after dark take to the Pike
and keep out of doors.
TUESDAY-If one is a lover of art
devote the early hours to the galleries.
Take the Intramural to Art Palace sta
ton. Make up your mind that you
can't see it 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
LETT 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-Ente the grounds
at the Administration entrance, or
via the Intramural. Visit the Aus
trian house for art and arts craft,
the finest display of its kind on the
grounds; Holland house, reproduc-

Sweden, modest establishment of a
hunting club; Great Britain, with its
old English garden and trimmed shrub
berry, and rooms illustrating different
periods of English furnishing; Bel
GUM, China, Cuba, Brazil, Nicaragua,
Siam and Mexico and the extremely in
teresting exhibit of Belgium. France
lies just across the way-a reproduc-
ton of the Grand Trianon and the
Garden of Versailles-a3d the little
Italian temple crown Z 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.
THURsDAY-Go direct to the Fine
Arts Palace and see Great Britain and
the United States pavilion. When
