There are many ways of getting to the
Exposition grounds. The guide-books
will tell you this, but the guide-books
will not point out the route that is best
suited to each particular fancy or taste.
After all, to the general sight seer es
pecially if time be limited, the most
valuable feature of a guide-book is the
map,—provided it be a correct one.
When you purchase a guide-book, look
through it carefully in connection with
map, then tear out the map, mount it
upon a piece of muslin, and always have
it with you, ready for consultation when
necessary. It will be easier to carry
than the guide-book, and will enable you
to go about the grounds without loss of
time,—or of yourself among the unfami
liar surroundings. In this connection
it is perhaps well to observe that in all
probadility no person will see every
object that is contained within the six
hundred acres covered b” the Exposi
tion.-From [,At the World’s Columbian
Exposition,” in Demorest’s Family
Magazine for September.
