IX. ACCOMMODATION AND CONVENIENCES, 

 AND HOW TO COME 



THOUGH Palm Springs is strong for simplicity 

 our visitors need fear no hardships: indeed, 

 our leading hotel is apt to prove a surprise 

 to guests who come with the thought of "putting up 

 with things." It is not the intention of the writer 

 to advertise any of the business concerns of Palm 

 Springs; but for the information of intending 

 visitors it should be said that the best accommoda- 

 tion is offered by the Desert Inn, while less expen- 

 sive quarters may be found at one or two other 

 places in the village. A number of pleasant small 

 tent-houses are rented by Mrs. L. F. Crocker, and 

 these again are supplemented by a few others scat- 

 tered about. Inquiries regarding quarters addressed 

 to the Postmaster would be handed by him to the 

 person most likely to be able to suit the applicant. 

 Now and then one of the residents is willing to rent 

 his or her comfortable house: in this case also the 

 Postmaster would act as intermediary.* 



As for "modern conveniences" — almost the only 

 item in that ever-growing category that is a genuine 



*As stated under Climate and Health, there are at present 

 no regular arrangements for the accommodation of 

 tubercular cases. Such should not come without 

 quarters having been secured in advance.
