It you are bored and stale, let New Orleans renovate and divert you. New Orleans is the Paris of the New World; the laughing, dancing “foreign quarter” of America; the one city of all the United States ‘where life is a gay round of pleasure from November to May; who is ready to amuse and charm in a thousand ways. Land New Orleans knows no formality—her doors are open to the world. She adores food and the cui- sine of her antique French restaurants will give fillip to the most jaded appetite.” She adores dancing, and no one can know the full in- spiration of the dance who has not stepped to the original Creole music of a Basile Bares. She adores balls, and her Mardi Gras’ and French Opera season are famed all over the world. New Orleans is of the Old World and of olden days. A foreign pasis is spoken in her highways; her beautiful Spanish courtyards are embowered in tropical vegetafion and flowers; heralded in her streets by musical negro criers are unique vegetables, fruits and sweets: ‘‘Belle des figues!”” *‘Confitures coco!”” “Pralines, pistache, pacanes!’’ Of pirates, of San”Domingo fugitives, of slave markets, of cloisters, of watch towers, of duels, of race tracks—of all these does New Orleans sing, and the exhilaration of her song throws a spell over every traveler who pauses within her gates. % By all means enjoy New Orleans on your winter trip. She is the gateway to Panama and South America; the most pleasant dallying spot en reute to California. The Panama Limited To New Orleans from Chicago and St. Louis is the longest word in luxury and the shortest word in speed. The [llinois Central brings New Orleans many hours nearer to Chicago aud St. Louis than any other route. 'The Panama Limited brings New Crleans materially nearer than any previous Illinois Central schedule No extra fare The Panama Limited follows the old Acadian Route to the Gulf. From its sumptuous gompznment—drawing room-observation car one looks out upon coun- try over which the French Cahadians wearily traveled afoot, two centuries ago. o No train to the Gulf canf equal the Panama Limited; no train a2 use in America can surpassit. Experience its superlative comforts on your next trip to the Gulf. N. B.
