The Djer-Kiss



Interpreted by R. F. Schabelitz




Here you behold the charm one gains by the use of my beauty-aids!  'The Djer-Kiss' so subtly whispers my message, that I have asked the world's great artistes to express it — each in his own manner.

Like a Shower of Kisses!


POUDRES so fine that their use is a caress!  Created by Monsieur Kerkoff in Paris, for rare feminine distinction; and laden with that ineffable odeur known to smart women—Djer-Kiss.




Djer-Kiss Poudre Talc
—lovely and delicate; in cool moss-green cans for travel; in dainty crystal for one's dressing table.




Djer-Kiss Face Powder
—of rare fine quality, to blend almost invisibly with various complexions.




The smart woman insists that Extract, Face Powder, Talcum, Sachet, Toilet Water, Rouge—all must have the one precious odeur:

CHICAGO'S SMARTEST NEW APARTMENT HOTEL

The
 SENECA

Favored by people of importance



THE designers of the Seneca quite frankly planned a town residence for those who are accustomed to the best.  Here, for instance, will live the representative of a foreign government … a member of a great New York financial firm … to mention only two of a number of persons of more than ordinary business and social prominence.  The location is 
east
 of Michigan on Chestnut Street … the Drake Hotel is immediately north.  The Loop itself is a matter of a ten-minute walk.  All apartments are furnished.  Keep house or not, as you wish.  Real kitchens with Frigidaire ice-units, full-size electric ranges … Grill and restaurant in building (no extra charge for room service) make it unnecessary.  Maid service if desired; commissary on premises; public garages within a block.  Altogether an impelling invitation to efficient and delightful living!




Rentals, two to eight rooms, with or without kitchen, $140 to $800.  The Seneca will be ready for occupancy October 1st.

Burlington Hour
 at the Union station



5:15 P. M.!  The busiest moment of the fullest hour in the pulsating life of the splendid Chicago Union Station presents the striking spectacle of four great Burlington trains drawn up on contiguous tracks—steam up—personnel on the qui vive!




It is doubtful that such a galaxy of crack trains is gathered together at one moment on any other railroad anywhere else in America.  Every one of the four is a distinguished de luxe train—a thorobred stripped for action.




At 5:30 the great 
Denver Limited
 moves, and in another minute is gone from view on its 1,000-mile flight to Denver and the Rocky Mountains.  At 6:00 the 
Missouri Limited
 silently pulls away—headed for Kansas City and St. Joseph.  With machine-like precision the 
Nebraska Limited
 departs at 6:15 for Omaha and Lincoln, followed at exactly 6:30 by the 
Minnesota Limited
 for St. Paul, Minneapolis and Northwest.




Thus, 
in one hour
, the Burlington starts 800 people—on business, on pleasure, on every sort of errand—to distant places which the genius of American railroading has brought close together.




And this is but half the story of the Burlington's Chicago service.




10:30 this morning witnessed the departure of the 
Colorado Limited
, and five minutes later the great 
North Coast Limited
 left for St. Paul, Minneapolis, Spokane, Seattle, Tacoma and Portland.  At 11:00 o'clock tonight the famous 
Oriental Limited
 pulls out for St. Paul, Minneapolis and all the Pacific Northwest, followed at 11:30 by the 
Overland Express
 for Denver, the Royal Gorge, Salt Lake City and California.




And so in the thirteen hours from 10:30 A. M. to 11:30 P. M., eight great flyers go out of the Chicago Union Station over the Burlington Route—headed West, Northwest, Southwest, 
EVERYWHERE WEST
.




Every train is really several trains.  That is—the same 
Oriental Limited
 which leaves Chicago tonight for Seattle and Portland, makes its next start from here seven days later, and meantime another 
Oriental Limited
 leaves Chicago every night for seven more days.  It is the same with the 
North Coast Limited
.  Eight editions of this train always on the road between Chicago and the North Pacific Coast.  When the de luxe 
Denver Limited
 was inaugurated in June this year, four 
Denver Limiteds
 were born.  There are four editions of the 
Colorado Limited
 and four of the 
Denver Overland Express
; two 
Nebraska Limiteds
, two 
Missouri Limiteds
, two 
Minnesota Limiteds
.




The eight peerless flyers are really 
thirty-four
 separate and distinct trains carrying more than 400 cars which are on the go every day—all the time, constituting the Burlington's regular Chicago service to and from Omaha, Lincoln, Denver, Kansas City, St. Joseph, St. Paul, Minneapolis, the North Pacific Coast, California—West, Northwest, Southwest—
EVERYWHERE WEST
.
