NEW YORK'S CITY HALL.
Plans Arranged for Much Needed
Changes.

New York, Aug. 13.-The Municipal
Art commission has approved plans for
alterations in New York's city hall
which will very much change the ap
pearance of this well known downtown
building. The plans call for an expen-
diture of more than $250000. In the
basement several small offices under the
main entrance will be made into one for
a large marriage bureau. On the main
floor the rotunda and corridors will be
repaired and the stone work renovated.
In the mayors office various doors and
passages that are of little use will be
torn out. The gaudy wall paper and
ceiling. in the mayors office will be re-
moved and white enamel ceiling and
walls will be, substituted, bringing back
the appearance of the building as near
as possible to the original colonial
stvle. The hangings and furnishings of
the rooms will be in harmony with the
decorations.
On the second floor the walls and dec
orations in President Cantor's offices
will be treated similarly to those of the
mayors office. White enamel decora-
tiofls Will be used in all cases, and in
every way possible the colonial appear
ance of the original building will be re-
vived. Partitions will be removed, MAX
ing spacious room, which can be used
for receptions and hearings at which
the borough president would preside.

But she also understands
That the best of her charms are her
stout red arms
And her strong hard.working hands.

for me,

And as for my face, why, it's no dis.

With a step like a martial mans:
A step that suits her iron.shod boots
And the weight of her clanking

There were many who eyed her state

As she moved through the yielding

With her hands on her hips and a

And a look both calm and proud.
