Atop of Phoenix I Spend My Nights-Sounds Inter- eSting, Doesn't It

Don't you think that it is somewhat confusing to arrive in a town. total stranger knowing no one, and with not the slightest idea where to go? I do. think that it is awful. I reached Phoenix quite early in the morning and simply fell off the train. But I didn't know which way to turn or whether to turn at all or not A lady whom had met on the train suggested that I go to the Adams hotel. I knew that there was such a hotel because I had seen picture postal card of it once. but I didn't know whether I wanted to go there or not.
 But I wonder if you people can imagine what a haven of rest the Adams looked to me as I stepped from the bus at the hotel entrance And as this hotel was really my first "adven- ture" in Phoenix I think that I shall begin my series by telling you of my new home.
 It was only very few minutes un- til I was settled in "a room with a bath, please" And folks. I did have such a grand, splashy time in my bath room. And then after a long rest in the lovehest of beds-and I am Sure that those of you who have made the desert trip on hot summer night can appreciate what a rest I did have-I went down to the lobby, intending to find a newspaper and post myself as to the latest kinks in the political situa- tion. I had just settled myself com fortably on a large davenport when most interesting gentleman approached and introducing himself as Mr. Schuller, the manager of the hotel said that he had noticed that I had regis tered from New York. He was won dering, he said, how I had happened to wander way out to Phoenix at this time of the year. I was, he explained, a trifle ahead of the most of the wis itors from the East
 MT Schuller and I had a most de- lightful talk. At least it proved that way to me because he gave me a num- Der of interesting bits of gossip about the early history of Phoenix MT Schuller declared that Phoenix was at one time a small village occupied principally by Indians, rattle snakes and Gila monsters. Doesn't that sound wild? |?
 '"This hotel for instance" he said. twas built some ten years ago on the site of the old Adams, which was burned There are 250 rooms in the present structure, each one with the private bath that you young ladies in sist on having, or with a bath room very close by. And every corner of the building is kept at the nth degree of cleanliness at all times"
 And now, Miss White' he added. Chow would you like to begin being a real true westerner by sleeping out of doors?
