established necessity in the city's hospitality
1t has been tried and tested by thousands and
not found wanting. 1t represents superior
phase of hotel life aud stands unrivaled for COM
fort and homelikeness. On this subject the Lon.

the St. Regis opened its doors. remarks: IF a
great art connoisseur planned to furnish house
that it would give the highest pleasure and
comfort to his intimate personal friends he could
do no more than the st. Regis does for all its
guests"
For some unaccountable reason living ut the
St. Regis has been considered by many as a
luxury beyond their means, and all sorts of fool
ish and Exaggerated reports have been circu-
lated regarding the prices prevailing there The
truth il that the cost Of living at the ST. Regis
is no greater than at other firstclass hotels and
considering its exceptional accommodations and
service, 1t Is even less. This Is shown by the
fact that beautifully furnished room of large
size may be had for 81 a day. or the same with
