finish is antique oak, which, with the large
plate glass windows, makes an especially light
and pleasing effect. The ceiling is covered
with terra-cotta coffee sacking decorated with
oxidized and FURNISHED brass-headed nails
driven in such a way rs to make fantastic de-

the car are partitioned off, and on one side Of
each compartment thus formed is a wash room
fitted with marble bowls. Particular attention
has also been given to ventilation, the philo-
