Mr. Bobbsey planned to attend to some
business in the "Windy City," as Chicago is sometimes called.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Bobbsey wanted their children to see all there was
to be seen.
"Travel will broaden their minds," Mrs. Bobbsey had said to her
husband when they had talked the matter over one night after the twins
had gone to bed. "Just see how much they learned when we took them to
Washington."
"They not only learned something, but they brought back something--I
mean Miss Pompret's china pieces," said Mr. Bobbsey. "Yes, traveling
is good for children if they do not do too much of it."
So when the Bobbsey twins reached the big Chicago hotel they were not
as strange and surprised as they would have been if they had never
been at a hotel before.
"I like this better than the hotel we stayed at in Washington," said
Nan to Bert, as they were shown to their rooms, after riding up in an
elevator.
"Yes, you can see lots farther," agreed Bert, as he glanced from one
of the windows.
"I didn't mean that," his sister said.
