There is a special kitchen also for this

both free. In response 10 my exclama-
ton of establishment, the editor, who WAS
explanations of this bar room. In TIE

There are two stunningly furnished
apartments in the building, of several
rooms each. One, occasionally occupied
by Mr. Paz the other for the of dis
tinguished guests who are non-residentS

is a special dining room for the editors,
and one, beautifully furnished, for small
banquets. There is library, with walls
of green silk tapestry, but not yet tur-

cost not only employees and members of
their families, but many outside patients

In another equally handsome apartment
sits for so many hours every week a man
who is prominent among the lawyers of
Buenos Ayres, and gives free advice on le-
gal questions.
yer is an honorable gentleman, and be-
sides that, he is paid by Mr. Paz and re-
ceiVes nothing from his clients. He has
no inducement TO foster unnecessary lit
