vances, threatening to move at once if
rents are put up. Inasmuch as they
can make. good and the demand is not
greater than the supply, advances are
not probable It is noticed, however,
that the charges in new buildings are
out Of proportion with rents in the
older flats:
A feature Of the market this year has
been the extraordinary building Of du-
pick houses. This is apparently con-
cession to the desire of families to get
away from crowding in larger buildings
and the elbow o-elbow touch, that can
not be avoided in houses with many
apartments. It is one step toward a
heavier demand next year for the small ,
detached and modern house, with its
little front and back yards.
The rental board is still organized. 1t
is not so active as it was two and
three years ago, when it was necessary
for the agents to rise in their wrath and
smite the tenants for long-tolerated
abuses. "We are the lords now,
said leading member Of the organiza;;
ton. A few years ago the tenant
ran things, but that is changed now"
The question Of rents, garbage col
lection, maintenance Of property, over
due rents, ETC., which agitated the
board for a long time have been prac-
tically settled, and for that reason the
board is quiescent, but not somnolent.

present massed vases and shelf up
rights. The center of the shelf has its
vacancy accentuated by the ornamental
ton beneath. The variation Of height
in these three details gives the curved
element Of joy
The double shelf attains precisely the
opposite to the single shelf. Where the
single shelf breaks up the plain hori-
zontal line by characterization, the dou-
BILE shelf duplicates it and leaves it
uncovered. The side trims of the door
are carried further up by the supports
of the double shelf The double shelf
accentuates the height of the door and
supplies opportunity on the upper ledge
for the plaque to still further carry up
the side lines of the door toward the
ceiling. The vases and old copper on
the heavier ledge are grouped to supply
the arched curve of formality.
These elements are Influenced by lux
Imposition and environment. They are
only details in giving a room express
sion. With them should be harmonious

cries and furniture. The color scheme
of the room has it's influence.

more complicated single shelf shows
effort to successfully give the apart
ment cosy and informal air.
This single shelf is designed to give
the effect of decreased height to the
door. AS the plain horizontal line is
small in character, the lines of the
shelf are broken up by ornamentation
at the lower edge. The continued YER
teal line is important in expressing
height, therefore pains are taken to
tending the. shelf for some distance out
side the margins of the door. This ex-
! tension Of the shelf gives opportunity
to place bric-a-brac at the extreme ends

long shallow blackboard, against which
a plaque rests, and by contrast in

appear still lower.

A PICTURESQUE SUBURB

Sevenoaks fronts on Lake street from
Thirty-fourth to Forty-secoTd avenue S,
extending rearward to East Thirty
fourth street between those avenues,
and stretching to the west bank Of the
street and East Thirty-eighth street,
its westerly boundary being Forty-sec-

Before the cross-town car line on

calmly horizontal top-trims are hidden,
so far as the windows are concerned, by
a gathered valance or draping not pos
sible in the door.
A dropping curve to the top trims Of
the doors, with the side trims terminal
ing in two capitals utilized as shelves
for bric-a-brac, do much to communicate
to an apartment joyous character well
suited for iving-room purposes. The
arching Of this curve, on the contrary,
gives formal atmosphere to door and

the engines can work only when the
balloon is free. Consequently. the

ceive the balloon according to rules.
Since airships cannot yet compete with
automobiles. the men naturally arrived
