A DISTINCTIVE HOTEL
St. Regis Not Only The Finest, but the
Most Comfortable In New York.
SOME POINTS IN ITS FAVOR

None Of New York City's great hotels
has been more talked about than the ST.
Regis. at Fifth avenue and Fifty-ffth
street. Recognized as the finest hosiery
in the world. it's chief claim to popu-
larity lies in the fact that IL offers the
largest measure of refined personal COM
fort at standard prices.
The St. Regis has come to be recognized
as the leading living and dining estab-
lishment in New York. 1t is not an ex-
pertinent, but a weII-established neces-
sity in the city's hospitality. It has been
tried and tested by thousands, and not
found wanting II represents a superior
phase of hotel life, and stands unTivaled
for comfort and homelikeness, On this
subject the LONDON Times, in an article
published soon after the St. Regis opened
its doors. remarks: Il a great art con-
noisseur planned 10 furnish house 50
that it would give the highest pleasure
and comfort 20 his intimate personal
friends, he could do no more than the
St Regis does for all its guests"
For some unaccOuniable reason. living
at the 81. Regis has been considered by
many az q luxury beyond their means.
and all sorts OF foolish and exaggerated
reports have been circulated regarding
the prices prevailing there. The truth is,
that the cost Of living at the St. Regis
is no greater than az other first-class
hotels. and. considering its exceptional
accommodations and service, 1t is even
less This Is shown by the fact that a
