What it Costs
to See the Fair

St. Louis, Nov. What does it cost
Ito see the exposition? This is a Ques-
ton asked by thousands in all sections
of the union. IL cannot be naively dis
missed as an inconsequental question,
for the vast majority of people who
are interested in the fair must seri-
ously consider the expense and form
their plans accordingly. Most of the
stories about the cost of seeing the
fair. | find. are gross eXageratiOns and
tthey come from two classes of people;
those who have not visited the fair.
/ and those who paid no attention 10
Expenses and whose disbursements
were on foolishly eXtravaganU scale.
| One of the latter who signs himself
Reuben. had a letter in recent is
sue of the New York Times in which he
gives the cost of a five days trip to
the fair for himself and wife as S171.30.
y cursory glance al the itemized state
ment of expenses would give the i'm
preston that this Reuben" was a
high roller" and that he scattered
money with a lavish hand on the expo
sition grounds. \ close scrutiny of
1.-THE tabulated disbursements. however.
reveals the fact that the fair really got
very little of "Reuben's Sl71.30. but
that most of il went for railway fares
from New York City and return. for
hotel bills in St Louis and for carriage
rides between station and hotel. 1t is
also to be noted that Reuben" was
not satisfied with the ordinary COM
forts and accommodations of plain peO-
pie. He had all the luXuTies that a
fat purse would command. such as
drawing room cars from New York and
roller chairs on the exposition grounds.
1t is noted also that two of the five
days were spent in railway travel. Con
Isidering his eXtravagant tastes the
wonder is that Reuben" got off so
cheaply.
What il costs to see the fair depends
upon ones taste, inclination and the
length of the stay. Here are the neces-
sary expenses per day of a man and
wife who have secured a room in one
of the hundreds of private homes that
have been thrown open for that pur-
