The Building Trades Are TO1efably
 Notwithstanding the approach of winter the building trades give little indication of dull times yet. Later on slsck times are expected, as is usual in cold weather. The half-dozsn large buildings now in progress of erection, and the large number of dwell ings, costly or inexpensive, az the case may be, will furnish employment to many men for many weeks yet, when the weather per mits. If to-morrow's school district meet ing acts right and sensibly there will be another large new building to erect, which will give work to good many employees. Among the handsome buildings for resi- denoss just completed is the Gsyington, erected by MT. William Gay, situated on York street between Grown and George streets, next to the Jocelyn, which the same owner built four years ago and which has been occupied steadily by the same families from its completion until this spring, when the first va cancies occurred and were speedily filled. The success of the modern apartment house with steam heat, jsnitor, electric door openers and elevators is not only ex- smplifed in the Jocelyn but also in the Normandie, which was built by the same owner on the same block, corner of York mediately filled. The janitor, who resides | on the premises, is frequently called upon by people anxious to visit the premises, | which shows that the rents are in demand. The Gayington has two tiers of fine oircu- | lar bay windows four stories high. The en- | tire front is composed of massive masonry, ! and the effect produced by the elegant arch of brown stone, the beautiful light stone l sills, caps and trimmings, together with | the combination of bull-nose and vsri-col- ! ored pressed brick, the turreted roof, con- | modious entrance, the handsome flight of l steps and the heavy stone copings, is art | istic and handsome. The interior is fin ished in hard wood, and contains many | conveniences for luxury and comfort in | housekeeping, and comprises in all six | apartments of seven rooms each. The dec | orations have just been completed by Platt | 6 Thompson. The halls and vestibules | are tiled, and the msntles are ot cherry and | oak. Each apartment, three of which have already been taken, is intended for select | family of taste which desires all the cem- | fort of housekeeping on one floor, with | steam heat and jsnitor service at g moder- | ate cost.
 AT UNITED CHURCH CHAPEL. | A Delightful Entertainments n Association Auspices.
 The United church chapel was filled yes terday afternoon by an audience well rep resenting the literary and cultivated class of the city, when Mrs. Frying Winslow gave her readings from doldsmith's "She Stoops to Conquer" and Sheridan's
 "school for Scandal" Mrs. Window is | an impersonator rather than a reader, in ! the elocutionary sense, and her power of bringing before the nearer the most varied
 and sharply contracting characters is ex
 trsordinary.
 In Goldsmith's play she WAS by turns the
 bluff old English squire, his nervous, ,shrill
 voiced wife and his pretty daughter. Hel ! face and form seem to change with each
 person represented, while in nothing is he, | power more marked than in the delinea
 ton of such minor parts as that of Dig gory; and her success with the famous
 scene between Hsrdcastle and his rustic
 servants was heartily appre ciated.
 "She Stoops to Conquer" with all itf
 cleverness, lacks the brilliant wit and Jus
 Ire of Sheridan's great comedy, and 1t vat
 perhaps in the 'School for Scandal" that
 Mrs. Winslow was seen at her best. Fine
 old Sir Peter, with his testy temper and
 his tender heart, seemed to stand bodily
 upon the acsne, while his gay, impudent
 but always charming wife was no lesi
 vividly presented. It would be difficult tc
 decide which was more highly enjoyed, the
 scandal or the screen scene. Both, with
 their many percentages ard their rapid ac
 tion demand a high quality of art, and
 they were given in 8 manner equal to the
 demand. Mrs. Winslow will appear be-
 fore New Haven audience once more, No
 vember 15, when she will read Ihsen't
 "Pillars of Society,"" following Dr. Bur | tons lecture on ffThe Modern Drama"
