\ step farther downthe hall and anotl

A step farther down the hall and another
reception-room opens at the right, where
every day come many artists, their work
with them. Every afternoon is given up
by the head of the art department to in
speeding and judging these offerings. Be
yond this reception-room are the working
quarters of the art department, gray and
lndian-red the color scheme, and again
there are more pictures and more windows.
at the very end Of the hall heavy curtains
shut off tie Offices where much of the edi-
torial work on the great Century Dictionary
was done, and where ceaseless, u~ntiring
revision goes on.
AS one turns back to the main office, the
first door on the right opens into the de-
lightfully light and airy room where all the
multitudinous and perplexing details Of the
subscriptions for both magazines are looked
after. The rest Of the floors space, sew
enty-ive feet frontage on Union Square,
one hundred and twenty-five feet on Eigh-
tenth Street, and two hundred feet deep,
is given up to the packing room, storage of
supplies, etc., for all of which three more
large floors are needed in an annex of the
De Winnie Press building on Lafayette
Place.
Among the treasures Of The Century Co.'s
offices to-day is a worn, time stained copy
of the firms first issue, bearing date No
vember, 1870. 1t looks as %antiquated and
grotesque, laid beside the artistic up-to-
dateness Of the current number, as a frock
or coat of that year beside a seasons model
of a modish modiste or tailor. One smiles
and signs over the thought that these one
hundred and twelve pages, in Judged by
to-day's standards) ugly green cover, with
wood-cuts that seem so rude beside recent
triumphs, were the acme Of elegance and
skill in 1870. Even to-day, though, one is
impressed by the list of men and women who
contributed to this first number of the new
magazine. Here is a reproduction of that
