Mover Gives Them Up on Any
Consideration.


There are half dozen lucky men in
this town who live at Delmonieo's. Few
people know that anybody can live at
Delmonico's. Nevertheless il is true
that there are half a dozen men who live
ut Dolmonieo's all the time, and have
thus happily solved a problem that has
bothered a good many people in this
town OF manifold resources and odd
modes Of living. IL Is not hotel. IL Is
not private house. 1t is not board
ing-housc. IL is not a bachelor apart
ment house. IL is not club. Yet II
combines the advantages OF all these
modes OF living. The occupants can
look out from elegant suites OF
apartments upon the busiest, the most
fashionable and liycliest part Of New
York. They can look out ON ihe pano,
ramus OF broadway or Fltth avenue, ana
