Amsterdam, Holland.-'There are

Sampler at the Hotel Pontchartrain.
In many places the hotels are run as
they have been for ages and candles
still are the vogue.
Rooms with bath are unknown. In
stead they charge you about. 40 cents
in American money for a bath. You
ask for the privilege OF using the tub
and they send up a maid who brings

none. for you are supposed to carry
both with you. She fills the tub, has
1t about the right degree Of heat. and
the faucets are locked, SO that II you
want any more water you don't get It;
also there Is no chance for your trav-
cling pal sneaking in and enjoying a
bath without coming through with an
other 40 cents.
"You are provided with one candle
a day and charged for 1t. The lights
go out early in the night, and II you
happen to get up or want to read you
have to use a candle. This does not
apply to Amsterdam. which is q met
