half al hour from the city il time, and
reached by underground railway, two
well and favorably known architects
have secured Elk acres Of land On which
20 place the fabric Of their very practical
dream
The buildings erected by them will
EurYound the four Eides Of an oblong
quadrangle, and will have porters

The houses that face the quadrangle
range from little ones Of two or three
roons 10 more spacious dwellings hay
ing ten or twelve. They vary IN height
from two TO four stories. and some Of
them are arranged in fats, 50 that some
thing is provided for many tastes and
many purses. On the exterior the houses
appear 70 be nearly 0! the Eau1e size.
None Of them has kitchen nor quar-
ters for servants, but servants will be
under the root Of the club house and d.
Tected by a Inatron. who each morning
will send TO your door the necessary
number 70 do the sweeping busting
cleaning. etc
When other service is required during
the day it is 70 be had by ringing bell
To meet this emergency rooms are set
apart here and there throughout the
building where servants are stationed
ready for action. To prevent the funny
sight that might be presented by the
fitting Of so many maids at so many
hours the houses have little covered
passageway at the back. The club din
ing room Is to be reached by covered
gallery across the fronts Of the houses,
so that wraps and umbrellas will be un.
necessary in Indictment weather, and ono
may imagine herself stepping from one
room to another Of her own house.
A family may order what it will for
dinner, with the certainty that it will
be we'll cooked and well served, in its
own compartment Of the dining room,
by servants who will lay the table &C
cording TO individual preferences.
A number OF private rooms we'll be
arranged for those who wish to give din
ner parties. while the only extra thought
for the friend or two brought home to
dinner will be to notify the head waiter
II any profits result from this plan, after
expenses are paid, it is promised that it
shall be divided among the tenants
Other features Of the enterprise are ten
mis- courts, cricket grounds. swimming
baths for both men and women, a gym
nasium, play rooms for children, large
entertainment hall and q number Of
studios
To regulate the social side of the prof.
ect, each tenant will have to have hiE
name presented by one OF the supporters
Of the plan. It is said the names OF
many men and women who are leaders
in artistic, literary and professional Lon
don are among its supporters Mr.
Mackmurdo, one Of the originators OF
the plan, is preparing to put up similar
buildings in London and in a north Of
England town.-NeX- York Post
