The Oldest Apartment House.

The oldest apartment house in New
York was built by the late Richard NJ.
Hunt in East Eighteenth street in 1869.
1t was q structure of five stories, with
four stories of seven-room apartments
and studios on the fifth floor. Contra
ry to what may be supposed to be the
case, it is a much more commodious
building than the average new apart
ment Of today. It's rooms are large
and well lighted, and it's spacious air
courts give quantity of light and air
that the more modern apartment houses
seldom supply.

Mission Apartments.

Los Angeles is an appropriate spot for
Mission Apartments, which is the
name of building in that city that
has just been, furnished and decorated
in mission style at a cost OF $4,000.
A broken board swings in suggestive
fashion at the entrance, bearing the
name of the apartments. Lights sup
ported by chains illumine the doorway,
the door itself with great brass nails
studding it at intervals.
The stairway to the second floor,
where begin the thirty complete little
homes in the building, is in the dark
weathered finish, with the woodwork
cut square.
The lights shine thru mission bells,
and along the hall other lights are like
the large tapers with brass holders that
used to be burned in the old-time church
es. The carpets are soft moss beneath
the feet, green and dull colors that
blend and satisfy the artistic eye
against the background of the leather
colored walls. Here, in one apartment,
a rich red carpets the floor and covers
the long settle that is in each set of
rooms. To whisper an open secret, the
settle is a bed and can be let down.
Desks in dark wood, quaint rocking
chairs and Ieather-seated straight chairs,
mission tables and many small details,
carry out the harmony of the whole
conception. There is even patio, or
root, above the business places beneath,
where plants, the straight desert va
riety,. and split shingle chairs are
placed, atfording a little breath of the
open, and a patch of the blue sky of
California to finish the picture.

An Attic Card and Smoking Room.

A portion of the attic of recently
completed house has been converted
into a delightful card room. The eff
fectiveness of the beamed ceiling has
been obtained by means of timbers
which hardly come. below the plane IF
the plastering. This permits the: room
to have the decorative. advantages Of
cross beams, and the lighting obtainable
from the ordinary smooth ceiling, with
fleet sunshine A charming inglenook
is the principal motif in the sloping
Sidewalk. The brick fireplace forms the
back Of the plastered and wainscoted
recess, and the sloping plaster above the
archWay has the motto:

there is much arts and crafts inspira-

This idea is distinctly taken from
some Of the modern European schools
Of the new style. The wall treatment
Of the interior is the salient feature
Of the room, making use Of a neutral
color, gray, as a background against
which all furniture will contrast. The
white enamel and white plaster masses,
here and there about the room, simply
serve to accentuate the rough-textured
stonework with it's lights and shadows.

but too many "things' have not been
put on it. Below this the wall is divid-
ed into panels by the use Of strips, the
panels being filled either with burlap,
stenciled in a heraldic design, or with
leather paper. By the use of this
treatment the reception room avoids
"fussiness' and becomes a room in
which fulldress is not an essential.

and made his home an example that

In GRAY Stone.

A residence in Caldwell, N j., pos
sesses a remarkable treatment in gray
stone. The walls are in uncut natural
stone, with the deeper spaces filled in
by means Of plaster. A stein rail in
dark wood surrounds the room on all its
sides. Here and there the walls are
beamed after the Dutch Elizabethan
style, and in these cases the panels be-
tween the beams are filled with smooth
plaster. There are few instances, how
ever, where this treatment is followed,
the greater part Of the walls being en-
tirely in the rough masonry finish.
The various nlantels in these rooms
are marked, however, by a touch or two
above plain curved arch at the fire
opening. These lnantels are of various
types, but they generally follow this
style.
The setting for these interiors is dis.
