a wide opening to the skylight roof
through the entire length of the building.

other tints OF blue and has brass trim
mings.

nishfngs. All of the bed rooms Will have

and chairs. These articles of furniture
are Of very highly polished golden oak
and mahogany. The polish is so perfect
that one could almost get along without
mirror. However, both dressers and
wash stands have heavy leveI-edged mir
rors.
With the exception Of the bridal cham
Der there has been no distinction in fur
nishing the rooms. Every apartment
will have the same kind of elegant bed
room suites and the floor Of every room
will be covered with beautifully Powered
pattern Of Wilton velvet. These carpets
were furnished by Mr.. Cash Henderson.
The water sets and chairs OF the rooms
VIII be in keeping with the other furnI-
