A writer in the Chicago Evening
Post, 81. M. McC.," offers the follow
ing suggestions on spending week at
the Worlds Fair to best advantage.
He says:
Rooms at s1.25 and $3.50 a 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 roomiQg- houses and small
hotels may be had. Choose place
near the grounds if possible. If in
walking distance so much the better,
as one may be Independent of crowded
cars and save ear fares.
1t is best to have breakfast at the
clearinghouse or near by, and depend
on the restaurants of the Exposition
for luncheon and dinner. have yet
to hear of a case of extortion, and the
restaurants in the grounds are Inter
esting if one chooses wisely.
Just a 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 a joy to womankind, but by mid
day they lose their freshness and at
night they are distressing. A silk sllirt-
waist suit is not warm and just the
thing
MONDAY--Get a bird's-eye view.
Make it an outdoor day. Take mstp
of the grounds and get your bearingst
Take the Intramural train at Station
l, 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 leisureIy. 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.

noon go out of doors and turn to the
! left Take lunch on some pleasant
porch along the way-a cup of tea in
