Like everything he does Mr.. Fried

ing through the yard, where trees
ana shrubbery are planted, you enter,
oy the front door, a spacious hall
where accommodations are found for
mats and wrappings. Through the right
entrance the visitor is ushered into
the parlor or reception-room. 1t is

pretty ornaments that tasty mer

sells predominant, all in catching
colors.
Adjoining the parlor, you pass
through sliding doors into the dining.
room. The first thing you note is that
the oarpetlng and general appearance
IS like the parlor. The extension
walnut table, the cherry furniture,
marble-top, French plate glass stand,
with the costly wares of all descrip-
tlons' colored by the heavy rich cur
talns, make you hungry even without
sight of elegant dishes placed care
fully about the cunning recesses pre-
pared for "wife's" convenience.
Having seen the dining room, you
step into the kitchen, where within
reach of the dining-table are all the
appointments modern ingenuity has
given for family comfort-a range; a
heater with tank of 30 gallons ca
pacity, and sustaining $50 pounds
pressure to the square inch, supplying
hot and cold water for bathroom, bed
rooms, and every portion of the build
ing; all the little handy things the
housewife needs scattered, but IN or
der, around you, neat as a new apron,
and most costly set.
Step from the kitchen to the left
and you find a marble bath-tub,
tucked in nook that nymph might
envy, and so inviting that it makes
one wish to be mermaid. Lifting a
hand from the bathroom, the door to
the servant girls room is opened, and
here again the tasty proprietor has
lavished his liberality, and provided
room for his help that would be first

On the left, as you enter the house,
is the spare room for guests, furnished
in the same tasty way as the others,
and inviting in all respects. Up
stairs are other spare rooms for guests.

THE BRIDAL CHAMBER.
The furnishing is che try. The car
peting velvet-like. The walls Jap
anese. The washstands marble, with
hot and cold water at command. The
lamps and burners FURNISHED and
brilliant. Two magnificent mirrors,
the dressing-tables, bureau and other
furniture unique and perfect in suite.
A convenient door opening into the
bath; closets SO cunningly construct
ed that you would never know they
were there, and a great bed that
springs like a happy thought. Over
all these a coloring of curtain casts
that modest shade that bride is hap
piest in. Such is Mrs. Friedman's
chamber. Such is Mr.. Fricdman's
home.
Last night the band serenaded the
couple. They were met with that ele'
CANT hospitality that marks the mer
chant in all his acts.
The TIMES paid its compliments te
the couple as they stood framed like
picture in the sliding doorway, anc
after welcoming them and thanking
them in behalf OF this people, trusted
that
"As Time flows onward, flowing through tn

May the great Eternal Giver OF all earthi!
Deliver You from storms upon life's river.
