(levelandersPrefer the CLEVELAND "TEE, whio know it best, prefer Hotel Cleveland for its excep- tional food, its quiet but friendly service, its furnishings and at- mosphere of a luxurious home. Clevelanders who are accus- tomed to the best the city affords, lunch and dine here every day and recommend this hotel to out-of- town friends. They consider it— as you will—more like a private club than a hotel. Yet rates for many rooms are as low as $3,and a moderate priced Lunch Room supplements the main dining rooms. Hotel Cleveland is on the Public Square, convenient to all parts of the city. Every room has pri- vate bath and servidor service. HOTEL LEVELAND PUBLIC SQUARE, CLEVELAND Letters From a Boob Abroad Brussels, Belgium. D EAR Ju I’m all tired out, Jvupce, and hungry to boot. Everywhere I went in Holland, as soon as I'd get in the dining-room of the hotel with a flock of food in front of me the orchestra would start playing The Star Spangled Banner and I'd have to stand up— and as it is such a long piece the waiters usually came and took the food away before I had a chance to sit down and eat a bite. No wonder I'm tired and hungry. Yesterday I motored out to a led Bruges. We stayed ‘oad most of the time. The pavement is quite decrepit and full of holes. I don’t think that they were shell holes. At least I didn’t see any shells lying around. Bruge was full of canals, funny looking bridges and old women making lace. These old ladies go out along the canals and gather their aprons full of different sized holes, oblong holes, round holes, square holes or what have you, and then group them about artistically in little frames and sew bits of thread and linen around the holes in deco- trative designs. Some of the most expensive doilies are worth as much as fifteen cents in American money and are prized very highly by customs officials. Brussels was named in honor of its founder, old Brussels Sprouts, ge, who came here from Normandy some time previous to the discov- ery of Hood’s Sarsaparilla. The sidewalks are covered with brus- sels carpets, which makes them look quite different from Tenth Avenue. An army of old fellows in blue uniforms are at work evi morning sweeping these carpets. They use tiny whisk brooms for this purpose. I think they are ex-big league umpires who got their experience brushing off the home plate. I am stopping at a hotel next door to the King’s palace. I was over there this afternoon and play- ed a few games of penny-ante with the King. I imagine the Belgian frane will be back at par by to- morrow morning. I asked the Queen if the wife of a former mayor of New York (What was name?) really told her that » said a mouthful? She looked at me, winked, and said, “So's your old man.” I tell you, Junge, the Queen knows her groceries.
