mental privet hedge to mark the street
line
The court is green carpeted-a
perfect lawn covering the entire space,
the driveways formerly used having
been grassed over. In the center a
willow copse serves to lend variety to
the scene, and at the base of these
graceful, pretty trees, are masses of
summer flowers, their brilliant colors
edding to the picture.
At the east of the court,
over against the east wing of
the hotel Spanish pergola, de-
signed by William G. Preston, of Bos-
ton, the architect of the De Soto,
stands to complete the ornamentatiOn,
and incidentally covers the windows
of the lower floors. The pergola, artis-
tic in construction, is a copy of some
of the celebrated work of the kind in
Spain and it's beauties are accentuated
at night by scores of incandescent
lights Vines are being trained upon it
and these will add to it's beauty.
A Brilliant Place.
At night the palm piazza is lighted
by numbers of electric lamps, those
upon the white clad tables having silk
en- shades and the globes above being
softened and mellowed to correspond.
Out in the willow copse are dozens of

HANDKERCHIEF TRIMMING.

The handkerchief is usurping the
function of lace and embroideries and
this useful little article has. become a
trimming for fashionable bodices and
lingerie.
The Mexican kerchiefs .embellished
with embroidery and drawn work with
tiny SQUARES of linen in the center are
used for this purpose. Three are used
for the front of bodice if a yoke eff
feet is desired, three for the back, one
for the sleeve-caps-that is one for
each sleeve-and one for each cuff, re-
curing ten handkerchief to a bodice.
Instead of the yoke a fashionable ar
rangement consists of placing the
handkerchiefs, diamond-shape down
the front of the bodice, with one on
each shoulder at the back placed in the
same design. Instead of having caps
for the sleeves, the upper portion IS
tucked or shirred to the elbow and the
kerchiefs are inserted in the Volumi-
nous puff between elbow and wrist.
Still another pretty way of finishing
the sleeve is having ii extend only 10
the elbow and draping the kerchlet
around the edge in points so that the
longest one extends almost 20 the
wrists.

green lights, and at the top a minia-
ture electric fountain, throwing a blood
red spray far over the willows and
flower beds.
Tropical and hardy evergreens and
trees are planted in the arches of the
pergola and placed in tubs in the hall
ways, on the stairs and in the arches
on the piazza. Ferns and palms occupy
each available nook and the whole eff

New Wine Room,

Below the sun parlor, and approach
able from Liberty street or from two
stairways from the office, is now be-
ing arranged a wine room. This is
being finished in splendid style and
is of ample proportions. Removed a
short distance from the bar il is yet
within easy call. and here will be
placed tables and comfortable chairs,
in order that guests may sit and talk
and smoke while enjoying their ale
and other beverages. 1t is delight
fully cool in the wine room and the
lighting and furnishings will be elab-
crate and satisfactory.
The drinking fountain in the main
office is a new feature that is very
useful as well as ornamental. at is
made of marble and has a silver
faucet. and supplies an unlimited
amount of water cooled by the plac-
ing of ice upon coils of pipe through
which the splendId water from the
artesian wells of the hotel is drawn.
New Furniture.
While to the average guest the fur
nlshings of the rooms in the De Soto
have left little to be desired, the man
ayers knew that there We're some new
things that could be wei added, and

with the view to keeping right up with
the times a large amount of furniture
and carpets will be added this fall
J The sun parlor now has it's summer
! dress of polished bare floor and light
curtains and wicker furniture, making
delightfully."- cool summer resort.
Next season the sun parlor will be
converted into tea room where tea
and coffee will be daintily served be-
tween the hours of and 10 p. m.
Everywhere in the hotel the electric
fixtures are being improved, the Elec-
trio Supply Company having been CIV
en- big contract and told to make
things shine.
The Grent Dining Hall.
The grand dining hall will be newly
frescoed and decorated when opened
again in the fail and the newest ideas
in seating the guests will be carried
out. This means that the military
rows of tables, each seating six people,
will be changed, and there will be little
tables and big tables-so that a man
and his wife may dine together, or
papa may bring mamma and the four
children, and the good-natured good
looking drummers needn't be getting
friendly with Susan by passing the
salt.
Many families already appreciating
the improvements under way and con-
templated have engaged board for the
coming season. The proprietors APP
preciating the desrability of this class
of guest will do all in their power to
make this a successful feature of the
house. feeling that by so doing they
will make the hotel still more attrac-
tive to transient guests.
The foregoing are only a few of the
improvements planned by Watson &
Powers, and when the fall comes they
will be able to say to their guests in
truth that the De Soto is one of the
best appointed and handsomest hose
telries in the whole South. and it will
be one of the best kept toe. The as
surance of this is found in the as
sistance which the hotel company is
giving the proprietors in the way of
improvements The activity of the ho-
tel company means that there is to be
no more satisfactory or popular hotel
in the country from every point of
view than the De Soto.
