sence of year-aroimd city facilities so much more numerous farther 

 south. The average price of lodging at country places was $1.19 per 

 person with a range of from one dollar to two-fifty as shown in Table 

 1. There was only one place, however, that charged the higher figure, 

 and that was for double beds in rooms that afforded the privilege of 

 being occupied by two people at the same price. There is much vari- 

 ation in the hospitality and appearance of the different rooming places. 

 Everything is found from the small but numerous "porches", to large 

 spacious rooms in old-fashioned colonial dwellings; from courtesy and 

 solicitation to indifference; and from the clean to the otherwise. Par- 

 ticularly undesirable places are in the minority. For the transient, 

 it is a bit difficult to make appraisals from the outside, but every pro- 

 prietor of the more desirable homes was found courteous and willing 

 to offer an opportunity for inspection.
