TWO BRIDAL SUITS.
on the first bedroom floor opening
on the ornamental portico overlooking
Franklin street are two Of the handsomest
bridal suites 10 be seen in this country.
They consist OF Iarlor, bedroom. and
bath. and are fitted out with white ma
pie. exQuisitely carved. with natural nm
ish. Mirrors are set in the walls, ana the
ceilings are highly decorated with PAPER
mache effects Both have long windows
opening on the Franklin-street loggia.
which. with its stately marble columns,
adds much to the beauty Of the building
when viewed from Franklin street.
There are In all $40 bedrooms, thirty
four Of which are set aside for employees.
The guest chambers are beautifully ar
ranged and furnished The Ideas OF COM
fort and convenience have been upper
most in the minds Of those in charge,
though they have overlooked nothing that
could add TO the appearance OF the va
riOus apartments The majority Of the
bedrooms on the first. second and third
floors are arranged en- suite, with marble
baths attached. while those on the fourth
and fifth floors. which are finished with
equally as much elegance. are built sing
ly and have enamelled baths.
HOW THE ROOMS ARE TQupPFD.
on the first floor there are eighty-five
bedrooms; on the second, there are
seventy-nine: on the third, seventy-three;
on the fourth, sixty-fve on the NTH,
twenty-six. and on the mezZanine floor,
which is let in just above the dining
room entrance there are fourteen. They
are all finished naturally in cypress. and
the walls are Of Kings cement, delicatey
tinted Some Of the rooms have open
fire-places and others have steam radia-
tors i'm them. All have mantels and sta
tiOnarv wash basins. and over both the
wash basins and the mantels are let in
the walls handsomely beveled mirrors.
Toilets are on every floor and at each
end of the building. The halls throughout
have radiators and are lighted with eiecS
tricity and gas as are also the rooms.
The electric wires are out of sight ana
are encased in small brass tubes, so that
they can be repaired at any time without
defacing the walls.
Each room is equipped with a HerzOg
tellesame, newlypatented invention TO
supplement the usual call-bell. 1t is
circular register. on which the names OF
almost everything that might be wanted
by "A guest is displayed BY turning an
Indicator so that the point rests over any
article desired. and then pushing a but
ton, the want is registered in the Office,
thereby saving time for the guest and
walking for the bell-boy. The invention
is unique and useful.
