In this case, “sleeper as parlor” means that seat space was sold in the sleeper (first class fare plus Pullman seat charge) for daytime occupancy. At this late date, its difficult to say why this was done, but most likely the Pullman space was already being sold for day room occupancy between STL and KCY and Pullman or MoPac wanted to protect that service at least until other arrangements were made.
