structure is finished. This is the gen.
eral neighborhood selected by all
agents, who form this class.
Another set would have the popu-
lar choice of the Center block, re-
vived. Opinion favorable to the site
is based on the fact that the block is
situated on two great arteries of traf-
fic -Hennepin and Washington ave-
nues S, and also that every streetcar
line in the city, but the Fourth avenue
S and Sixth avenue N, leads past the
block. They would vacate Second
street and include the old city hall
ground in the site. This location would
bring the postoffice building very
near the future union station, would
make it a show point for travellers
Immediately on their entrance to Min
neapolis and would accommodate the
mails. This location would not be- as
acceptable to persons having business
with the courts as the Fifth street site,
and the Fifth street would not be as
easily reached from the railroad sta
tion as the lower town site.
The third class holds to the opinion,
50 often expressed by transients, that

pect to see Hennepin return to its old,
time show of glory. For this hope they
would build the postoffice on Hennepin

argue, would be satisfactory to the law.

The balance of favor seems Just now
to lie with the last element. The gov
eminent is and has been investigating
for some time the Stewart site at
Fourth street and Hennepin avenue, ex-
tending block up the avenue and
north half a block on Fourth street.
Expert opinion has been gathering for
some time concerning this property. It
is understood to be the purpose of the
government, in case it is determined to
locate the postoffice building on these
corners. to acquire the. remaining half
of the block This will make room for
a building sufficiently large for a long
time to come and at the same time will

required by The government, which car
rjes its own fire insurance.
Information in regard to the prob
able choice by the government is SO
vague that little buying, if any, is
based on such an uncertain quantity.

transferring it to the government at a

~ HE house built, it remains to fur

a pleasure. It is the portion Of home
making that seems to fall especially to
the women, and as an opportunity for
the practice of the art of shopping it is
clearly unrivaled. AS in all the stages
Of home building and home making,
the utmost patience is required. It is a
work that falls naturally and by right
to the owner.
The furnishing of house is a task
that should be attacked with enthusi-
asm and pursued with leisure. It is
the hardest kind of hard work. 1t re-
quires patience and discrimination; it
needs good taste; it demands knowl-
edge Of the uses Of furniture, and it
pecessitates q purchasing taste that
few really possess The responsibilities
involved are SO great that it is, in q
very true sense, big undertaking.
On the whole the home maker who
starts entirely fresh, with absolutely no
furniture to begin with, has much the
better of it. One never knows what to
do with old NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. that is
simply old and without the artistic
merit and interest of antique furniture
This is especially true when the pieces
are good enough to use and entirely toe
good to be thrown away or converted
into kindling. Yet if one has the
means to entirely furnish house from
top to bottom it would often be better
to throw away the old uninterestine
pieces and start afresh in every way.
There is, moreover, a special interes
in furnishing house as whole. Il
provides an opportunity for individual
treatment such as no other method cal
give. It is pleasure, and very rea
pleasure, to furnish a room completely
and this pleasure can be repeated sever
al times when whole house is to b.
done. But surfeit Of joys is some
times wearisome, and the work shout,
not be begun lightly One is very like
ly to become tired before the job is hal
done.
Various expedients are at hand 70
aiding in this task. The architec

commission) to furnish your house TO
you, completely, and apply tn, same car
to it's internal equipment as he ha
shown in it's design and construction
This is not only an expensive way O
furnishing, but it is the most exper
Z sive way.
Another aid to furnishing is supple

and in thoroly legitimate business
way, charge stout commission for
their services. They earn their money.
They employ capable workmen; they
are in instant touch with the sources Of
supply, whether the furniture be new or
old; and they can, if SO desired, produce
most elaborate results, results quite as
artistic as those produced by the archi-
tect, who, indeed, will often transfer
this portion Of his commission wholly
to the professional decorators.
The trained furnisher,, the man who
knows his business, the man of taste
and discrimination, can often give ad-
vice and assistance that will not only
be of special value to the client, but
which can be had in no other way. The
furnishing of the house has become as
much profession as its building. One
needs to know how to furnish, exactly
is the basis of the professional furnish
Eer's business. He meets demand, and
he meets it-often-with success.
The chief rule to be observed in fur
nishing the house is to be harmonious.
1t is rarely safe to build up room
around single piece of furniture. No
one article should cry aloud for atten-
| 1touS te1NO1u CCCcuGT1CltloSS 1aQS.
Be sure you are going to like each ar
tlcle, and be sure each article is going
to fit in well with each other article.
Special styles, especially exotic styles,
are very good things to be left alone.
One may not always care for Turkish
room or Japanese parlor, and one GER
talnly can never make them accurate or
literal translations.
The house once furnished is likely
to remain as deemed completed One
rarely refurnishes a house completely
from top to bottom. In most cases
the work done once is always done.
Hence the necessity for careful choice.
The furniture must be good, good in
itself, good in its purpose, good in its
relations to the room in which it, is to
be placed. Harmony and good taste
are equally essential.
The woman of taste can do much by
herself. She knows how her rooms are

an investment at very favorable
