they were alf nice friendly people
and we soon gnt ve9 Y aeil acanaitts
s.d with most of t1em. After lea aiag
Kansas GSty we went south through
Arkansas into Mississippi and then
east go Memphis. Tenn. and Fir
rlinghatn. Ala, then through Gear-
gia aad south 10 Jacksonville. Fla.
where we each went our different
way.
This was she time we realized that
We we're strangers in a strange land:
however, we made the hest IT It and
were soon on our way To st Angus
tine Here we we're met by cot0Teti
porters or yellow caps. ready to
carry our suit tease. find us a carriRge
and be of service III any way. We
were soon in our clean, cozv room at
the Inn, having made the entire trip
alone. Ne started out to find some
thing to cook Tor supper as we were
very hungry. We discovered that
Just across a twelve foot street there
were two grocery stores. a fruit
store. a bakery and meat market.
We find that all kinds Of fruit Is
cheaper and better than at home;
fish, oysters and, all sea foods are
about one half what theV cost there;
fresh vegetables are plentiful and
about the same as IN the north iH
summer: eggs. butter, cheese, flour
and irish potatoes are high, meat a
little cheaper but not so good in
quality. You can buy loaf of bread
for sc and douphnuts 15c per dozen.
Sugar sells hv the 100 lbs for 81 Is;
coffee is cheaper unless You want TO
paw fancy price You can get q
good meal for from 25t. to a5c while
at the hotels you can ray from two
dollars up to one hundred a t}av, it
all depends on your bank account
The two largest hotels. the Ponce
De Leone and thc Alcazar, each
cover one block, built in a hollow
square with parks. fountains and
colored lights in the eentera pretty
sight at night. Have been down
two Wednesday nights with friends
t. hear the orchestra play. The
music is fine but the diamonds and
swell gowns made nv eyes ache and
was glad to get away.
We are located at the Cosy Inn, on
st. Georges street, one of the old
est in the city and the narrowest
(being orIly twelve feet wide) ex-
cept one; Treasury street is the
narrowest. being only six feet il
width. The Inn is one of the old
houses of the city built before the
war by Pierre Loribard, the tobacco
king and multi-millionaire. It was
for years his winter residence and at
his death was beaueathed to a near
relative and was bought ready fur
nished by the present owner who
uses it as an apartment house,
There are 2S rooms, large and small:
the largest one for rent is Is feet
square, furnished for light house.
keeping with gas stove for cooking
electric light. bath, city water and
CRATE. for fire on cool days This
costs me 20 dollars per month.
There are many interesting things
to see here, but Jack and 1 agree
that the water is the best of all. We
never tire of sitting on the sea wal
watching the tile. the sea gulls, and
the porpoisas or down at the dock
