Bird's-eye view of the famous boulevard from the junction of Lake Shore Drive and upper Michigan Avenue to Lincoln Park, the residence district of the city's most distinguished citizens. This exclusive section is seen from Chicago's wonderful new hotel, The Drake.
Certainly feel satisfied with my first day. Took a sight-seeing ride through the business district, and to principal parks — went through Marshall Field's; ate lunch; theatre performance at Chicago; on the elevated. On board at 3 p.m.
My table companions are an old lady, her daughter, wife & 9 yr. old daughter from Baltimore.
Price of maid boots from Chicago. Couldn't get them.
Filing below & try on my new shoes. Worth this is a marvelous trip.
