Epitome of Hotel Excellence. "a
The Fairment, as il stands today, 10
the epitome of hotel excellence The
vast experience which the Palace Hotel
Company had in the celebrated Palace
Hotel has been utilized in this house.
To Colonel John c. Kirkpatrick, General
Manager of the Palace Hotel Company,
was given the task of Installing into
brand new house the spirit of hos
pitaiity which made tie old Palace Ho-
tel celebrated in two hemispheres. How
well he has succeeded in doing this 10
evident the moment one enters the
doors of the Fairmont. For the Palace
Hotel spirit of hospitality enfolds one
like a garment, making his visit one
of delight, his leave-taking one of re-
greet, and his memory of the time 50
spent one of great pleasure.
Only hotel in the world in which
every room has bath
| The Fairmont Hotel offers TO the
| traveller all the eonveniences and luxu-
ries known to the best modern hotel,
together with many exclusive features,
some Of which we have spoken of above.
Every room in the entire hotel has q
bath attached For $3.50 one may thus
enjoy a pleasant room. beautifully fur.
nished in mahogany. with dainty

The ball room of the Fairmont Hotel
is one of the most beautiful, as well as
one of the largest, in existence. 1t has
one of the few spring floors TO be found
in the country, making dancing pecu-
liarly delightful. 1t is decorated in
white and gold, with hangings of blue
satin tapestry. It's walls are covered
with mirrors, between which are deeora-
tions by the most famous mural artists
of the world. And the ballroom is not
merely an ornament. San Franciscans
are a very sociable people, and the rec
ords of the ballroom show that it is
occupied an average of three times q
week during the social season. Behind
it is the famous red banquet room,
which has, perhaps, held more distin-
guished company than any other room
of its kind west of Chicago. On the
floor below is the magnificent Norman
| Cafe banquet room, hall Of superb
i proportions and simple grandeur. 1t Is
| the best illustration of hall of the
| Norman period. Even the tesselated
/ floor is made of special design, char
acteristic of the Norman times. From
/ the lofty ceiling hang chandeliers OF
! quaint design, made of hand wrought
iron in Paris especially for this room.
The long French windows, which cover
the entire north side of the Norman
Cafe, open on the terrace, a broad,
tagged promenade, which overlooks the
Bay of San Francisco and the city.
Upon special occasions of large enter
tainment, the terrace is canvassed IN,
! making another hall, almost as large as
| the Norman Cafe itself. On warm days
the terrace presents an animated scene,
reminding one largely of Paris or the
iembankment in London. Here parties
of eonvivial spirits gather around the
tables where lunch is served in the open
lair, overlooking the most beautiful
panorama of mountain and sea.
Numerous Dining Places.
Another thing for which the Fair
mont Hotel is noted is the number and
variety of it's different dining places,
In them one may find a place to diae
as suits his convenience. The Laurel
Court, which is Immediately behind the
lobby, offers convenient grill fos
ladies and gentlemen. Further on is
the main dining salon, with aecommoda,
| tions for three hundred people. This
room is done in white and gold with
Fsilken tapestries. From its windows.

Two years ago, when the fire was rag
ing at it's worst, the sight of the classic
outlines of the Fairmont Hotel, stand
ing out white against the black clouds
of smoke, lent hope to the anxious thou
sands. When the flames swlrled fiercely
about it, to many it seemed that the
last hope was gone. At that time the
Fairmont Hotel was just about TO open.
Three years of time, and more than
three millions of dollars had been spent
in the construction of the building and
the fnishings and furnishings of its in
terror. How well the building was con-
structed is evidenced by the fact that it
came out of the stress and trial of both
FIRE and it's Accomplishments without
single injury other than tne complete
destruction of everything Inflammable
to be found inside of it's walls.
After the reaction of the first month
had passed, work was Immediately
commenced to rebuild and refurnish the
entire building, at cost of over two
million dollars, the work of reeonstruc.
ton went on. Over a million dollars
was spent in interior fnishings and fur
nitnre, and the magnificent appoint
ments of the house as it stands today
speak well for the care and taste used
in the selection. The formal opening
of the hotel to the public took place on
the 18th of April, 1907, just one year
after the catastrophe, at which time the
Chamber of Commerce gave a banquet
in celebration of the event. On the
21st of April, 1907, the doors were
thrown open to the public with a splen-
did reception, to which Learly all San

with amazing rapidity. Today, more

to the energy and determination of her

A Wonderful Hotel.
/ In it San Franciseans have a hotel
of which they can justly be proud, as
in the matter of location, it stands
absolutely unsurpassed in the world. In
the matter of appointments, service, and
exclusive features which make hotel

taking care of one thousand guests.
Its entertainment features are so nu-
merous and SO varied that, as has hap
pened many times, as many as six diff
ferent gatherings, including banquets,
balls and public meetings, can be held
under its roof at the same time, and
under such favorable conditions that
one assembly scarcely realizes there is
any other in the house.
Marvellous Outlook.
The view from the Fairmont is such
as to make the most blase and expe-
rienced globe trotter stand in wonder
and amazement. From its windows for

east, and Mt. st. Helena over a hundred
miles to the northeast breaking the

of the hotel lies the busy city, in which
new steel sky-scrapers are rising in

Chinatown, almost entirely rebuilt in

The mischief had been done right
under Miss Monkeys eyes. The en-.
gagement had been entered into!
Miss Moxley swallowed her chagrin
and put the young man up for the
night, hoping in this way to avoid
scandal in the village, and the next
morning he departed, so his fiancee
said, to join his parents at their home
In Cincinnati and announce their en-
gagement.
But, oddly enough, that very night
several things happened. Several
college youths appeared In Sharon
Springs and put up at the tiny inn.
The colored butler at Miss Monkeys
retreat for obstreperous schoolgirls
saw the simmer of gold and found a
convenient ladder somewhere about
the place. This he tilted against the
wall Of the cottage, just where 1t
would do the most good, and three
dainty figures. including Miss Whit
ney's slipped down the ladder.
Miss Walcott, who led the escapade,
was expelled from Miss Ely's school,
but the parents of Miss Whitney and
Tom Graydon decided that further in
reference was both useless and UNI
wise. The engagement was announced
with full consent Of both households.
Miss Whitney returned to Miss Ely's
school to finish out her term and Mr..
Graydon returned to Harvard, where
he was graduated the following June.
