She knew that I knew that her father
was dead,
And she knew that I knew of the life
he had led;
And she knew that I knew what she
meant when she said
Go to father!

MONTEREY’S MAIN HOTEL
Mexico is the country of unattrac-
tive exteriors and charming interiors
in its style of architecture. In Mon-
terey, right at the foot of the moun-
tains, stands the Continental Hotel.
As you approach the building, an un-
inviting concrete wall, solid, with the
exception of the plain entrance door
and barred windows, meets your gaze.
To render this wall even more unat-
tractive^ it is painted a bright sky-
blue with the word CONTINENTAL
in immense black letters, stretched
across the entire front of the build-
ing. The moment you enter the door,
however, the atmosphere changes.
You stand in an entrance hall from
which the vista of the inner court
beyond is visible. The glare and
ugliness of the exterior here give place
to cool semigloom, reflected from the
exquisite flowering vines which climb
up the walls around the open patio
with its graceful banana trees rustling
softly in the breeze. To the left, and
opening out on this patio, is the
dining room with its richly carved
furniture and elaborate furnishings.
Two staircases one on each side,
lead up out of the court to the deep
veranda which surrounds the open
out on this veranda, there being no
halls and inside passages, or even
connecting doors between the rooms.
Some of these rooms are big and airy
with artistic French windows open-
ing out on historical balconies . others
are little and stuffy with no means of
ventilation except the one door open-
ing out on the veranda. But all of
them are gorgeously ornamented in
the deep sky-blue plaster that the
Mexican loves. However, the shade
from the vines is so deep that even
this cerulean brightness loses some of
its hideousnes^ and blends in with
the restful gloom- that characterizes
this tpye of architecture.
