has been designed to set off the landscape
effect.
This building is of the French monume1-
tai style of architecture. and was designed
by Herbert c.. Chivers. architect, who has
exercised considerable latitude in planning
q structure which will appear attractive
from any viewpoint.
The basement story Is to be crenelated-
surface ight gray stone of heavy massive
design suggestive of stability. The col
umns are of fiuted Doric design. made Of
highly polished light gray granite Of q
shade to be in harmony with the stone. The
walls above are a combination of light-col-
ored brick and white terra-cotta of ornate
design terminating at the top with appropri-
ate statuary on all sides. The dome Is of
dark glazed -greerish bronze tile, and the
cresting Is of copper, enriched by a coating
of gold leaf.
The first floor will be devoted to offices
of the Woman's Magazine. the capacity of
the plant being for a circulation of between
3,0CO. and 100000. The second floor is
divided into editorial rooms. and the space
above for the clerical department, in which
there are now steadily employed nearly 200
persons.

M~l..i..ippi valley Tru.t Company.

The real estate department of the Missis-
sippi Valley Trust Company reports an
other very busy week. having closed sales
aggregating over 100000.
They report the sale of the Oriel building,
at the southeast corner of Sixth and LO-
Gust streets, from the Oriel Realty and Con-
struction Company. of which Mrs. Clymena
Alice O'Day of Springfield, No.. is presi-
dent. to William X. Bixby. who was repre-
scented by the Holbrook-Blackwelde Real
Estate Trust Company. Mr.. Bixby pur-
chased for investment, paying $127, 500. The
building stands on leased ground fronting
45 feet I inches on Locust street by a depth
of 20 feet on Sixth street. The lease is
dated May Is. 1880. and made for ninety
nine years at an annua rental of 5000 dur
ing the whole period. The fee is owned by
Mary V. X. De Giverville of Paris, France.
The building is seven stories and base
equipped with electric elevators and cleo
trio fights and is the first modern office
building erected in this city. The building
was erected by the late John o'Day and j.
B. Legg. Afterwards Colonel 8Day ac-
quired practically all the stock of the COM
pany, and at his death bequeathed It to
Mrs. o'Day, who Immediately turned the
management of the property over to the
Mississippi Valley Trust Company. in whose
hands It has since remained.

planned to extend 200 feet in the rear of the
office building by a width Of 100 feet. in
which an army of employees will be accom-
modated.
The eighty-five acre tract of ground which
is located on the high ground on Delmar
boulevard west of Delmar Garden, is one
half mile square, or nearly two miles
around, and will lave a dlstinctiveness of
its own. inasmuch as it will be the largest
private place ever laid out on a grand
scale.
The wide avenues are in graceful curves
and bcautifed with the largest trees pro-
durable, and handsome shrubbery. The
architect in planning this building realized
the necessity of givin the owners some
thing different from the ordinary boXllke
commercial-apearing structure. an has
designed an edifice in keeping wlth the
high-class piece of residence property. The
architectural treatment of his office build
ing has already been an Incentive to sew
eral owners to prepare to erect large .ele-
giant residences in the private place wh1cn
this building site borders.
There will be nothing suggestive or a
printery from outward appearances. nor
will there be the customary smoke nuisance
in connection, as the architect has devised a
means to use a fan draft for the furnace or
heating plant in the basement, keeping the
firebed continually at red heat and con.
uming every particle of the carbon, OF
which ordinarily fifty feet or more goes to
waste.
There will be no shafting in the main
printery. doing away with any noise from
the outside, the high-class. noiseless presses
being run by individual electric motors.
