In small ASS y, three dining-halls would
be sufficient; one for children and two for grown
persons the latter at different prices; this de-
gree Of variety at least should be observed. AID
Joining the public saloons, small dining-rooms
would be reserved, where parties groups can
eat apart from the large tables. 1t will happen
daily that parties of friends will wish dine by
themselves they can do so in these rooms, where
they will be served in the same manner and at the
sarae price as at the large tables. 1t will be very
little additional trouble to serve meals in them
and it will promote greatly freedom of cheice
People can, if they wish, dine also in their pr-
va.e apartments by paying small extra charge
One of the most convenient and agreeable con-
structons of the Ediice Of Association will be
large corridor inclosed portico, which will wind
around one front of the building, and will form
covered communication leading to all its parts
to the public Halls, private Apartments and Work.
shops.
An Association may be compared to town
under one roof, and it must have communication
or avenue, corresponding to the street OF town,
through which the inhabitants go to the Halls,
Saloons, Exchange, Reading Rooms, Lecture
Rooms, and visit each other without having TO
encounter the wet and the cold, or having to go
through dusty or muddy streets. Instead of an
uncovered street. exposed 10 the hot sun in sum-
mer and to the inclcmency of the weather in win
ter, and which is always either dusty or muddy
it would have spacious corridor, or inclosed
portico or piazza, of the kind described winch
would encircle the and wings of one side of
the entire bnilaing.
In large Association the corridor would be
about % feet wide in the centre of the Edhce
and 10 feet wide in the wings; III sinai. Asso-
citation it would be from ~ TO ID feet wide. 1t
would pass along the first story or on the top OF
the basement, and not upon the ground as some
openings for carriages must be lett IN the base
mcnt. The corridor would be inclosed within
the outside walls of the Edihce, and the roof
would project over it. 1t would be the hight of
the entire building-tEnt is, three stories, and the
windows which lighted it, might be high and
spacious like those of some churches L he doors
of the public Halls and private Apartments would
open upen it, "a the outside doors of our houses
now open upon the street; flights OF steps would
lead from it to the upper stories. In large ana
opulent Association, it Is easy to conceive with
what elegance its corridors could be- fitted up, and
what o. convenience they would be to the IN
habitants.
.sTo pass winters day." says Fourier, " in
the Edihce of all Assocaton,-to visit all parts
cf it without exposure to the inclemency OF the
wea,her.-to go TO balls and parties in light
dresses without being inconvenienced by the cold
without knowing whether it rained or stormed,
would be charm so new, that it would be alone
sufficient to render residences and cities de-
testable If an Edifce, like that of an Association
were erected in our Societies and adapted to the
usages of civilized life, the convenience alone of
covered communications, warmed In winter and
aired in summer would give immense value to
it. It's rents, for the same quantity OF space,
would be double those of cur present houses.
PRIVATE APARTMENTS.
Part of the first and most of the second and
third stories would be occupied by the private
Apartments. They would vary greatly in size
ard price to suit all tastes and inclinatons-tor-
tune and the desire of economy. The Apartments
would be separated by division walls, so that no
noise would be heard from one 10 the other. Peo
pie could live by this as isola,edly in an
| Association as they now in cities, where the
houses touch, and are only separated by walls
The entrance To them would be from the large

rent suit of rooms in an Association as lie now

SOCIAL CHARITY.
! The Charity of Association will be as noble and
generous as that of societies is mean and
stinting. The charity of Association Will embrace
particularly the two extremes of life: children
will be Supported by the social body,-receiving
the best education that can be given them,-unt,l
an age when, by their own industry, they can sup.
port themselves. Persons advanced in age, and
who may, from: any Cause, be poor, Will also De
supported by the Association,-not in the n1isera-

worthy of old age. Good apartments, the best OF
living, and the first places at festivals and cele.
bratioas will be allotted TO them. The Charity OF
Association will be generous when It gives 1t
