A Suit OF Rooms at $500 a Day.

Already the management of the
Plaza announce, a large percentage
Of the suits have been leased. The
hostelry will have as it's permanent
guests some well-known people,
among whom are John w. Gates, Mrs.
James Henry Smith, Alfred G. Van
derbilt, George J. Gould, c. K. j.
Billings, Mrs. Oliver Hartman, JUL
ius Fleischmann, John A. Drake,
Mrs. Wallace Shillito, A. H. Moore,
Richard Brewster, Jackson Gourand,
and Mrs. Young Hayworth.
Some of these will pay SIS to 500
a day for their rooms, exclusive of
meals. For the famous royal suites
$500 a day will probably be asked for
short periods. Though these rates
seem enormous to the majority of
people the price paid in reality is not
in excess Of what it would cost to
maintain a Fifth avenue home. while
the worries are less and the accomo-
dations better. 1t goes without say
ing that the Plaza will be essentially
a home for the rich. 1t marks the
topmOst notch in the luxury of metro
pOlitan life for men and women with
large incomes who do not care to I'M
dertake the responsibility of keeping
a city house of their own.

MEXICO WILL
OWN RAILROAD

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 19-(Special)
The government Of Mexico has
arranged to purchase the majority
of the stock of the new Pan-American
railroad in Mexico This is in accor-
dance with the plan outlined some
time ago for the gradual establish
ment Of government ownership, which
is expected to eventually extend to
all public utilities throughout the
Republic unless a reactionary admin
istration should succeed that of Diaz.

sixty bell boys, 200 walters, seventy
five laundresses; twenty-five porters,
twenty bartenders, ten wine cellar
men, fifteen BARRIERS and about $50
women of all work in the kitchen and
elsewhere, who may be said to look
after the immediate personal com
fort of the guests. The chief engineer
and his assistants, electric light men,
elevator men, plumbers, locksmiths
and general repair men will easily
number 250 more. Then there will be
the office staff and the accountants

nearly if not quite 800 men and wo-

gagged by the guests and who work

The new Plaza Hotel, the latest addi-
ton to New York's long list of pala-
tial hosteleries, is to be formally
opened next Monday morning. The
builders of the Plaza claim that it is
the costliest and finest hotel in the
world An idea of the enormous sum
of money spent in the erection of the
Plaza may be had from the mere state
ment that its cost was more than
double that of the magnificent Hotel
Astor which was completed only two
years ago.
New York not only contains the
largest and most luxurious hotels of
any city in the world, but also more
of them, ranging in cost from $1,000,-
OO0 to $12,500,000, which latter fig
ure represents the cost of the new
Plaza. 1t is to be further remarked
in the same connection that the most
luxurious hotels are by far the most
prosperous. The present effort is
not to build economically, but eXpen-
sively-to crowd as much luxury as
possible into hotel building for the
rich New Yorker can be counted on
to make the most lavish expenditure
a profitable investment Counting per
manent and transient guests, the five
score high-class hotels in the city of
New York take care of about $4,000
people day. The lowest estimate
places the average price paid for
rooms and board at $6.25 a day. At
that rate the receipts are 1912 500 a
day, or $114,062, 800 a year.
Cost Exceeds Waldorf Astoria.
The actual cost of the new Plaza is
said to be slightly in excess of that of
the Waldorf-Astoria, heretofore con-
sidered the largest and most Iuxuri-
Gus hotel in the world. When the
Waldorf-AstOria was projected, al
most every one said it could not be
made to pay. Yet today it is a very
profitable property 1t is hard to
imagine a house with 40 magnificent
public rooms, more than 1900 guests
rooms, and Accommodations for be-
tween 400 and 1900 people, being
practically filled all the time but
these figures represent the Waldorf
Astoria's Accommodations, and it is
constantly crowded
The new Plaza occupies the site of
the old hotel of the same name at the
corner Of Fifty-ninth street and Fifth
avenue, opposite the entrance to the
Central Park and directly across from
the Savoy and Majestic hotels. The
builders figured at the beginning to
spend about $S,5O0,0OO on the struct-
ure, but later it was found that in
order to place the hotel in that state
of perfection which the management

silk is found in the prevalence of all
sorts of variations on the fancy guimpe
and jumper styles in bodices. These
being made up so largely of lace, us
ually in white or ecru, remove the only
objection that has ever existed to all
black dresses and render them univer-
sally becoming. There is no doubt that
the old time black silk dress with its
stiff lines, and unrelieved dizziness was
trying to almost any woman, but the
modern gown made with soft tuckings,
and all sorts of dainty devices to beau
tify the bodice. and with the graceful
flowing lines of the newest skirts Is
thing to be coveted by any woman be
she eighteen or eighty.
NEW STRAW HATS.
The new straw hats presage coming
styles though they do not determine
them. Mushroom shapes with droop-
ing brims, and shapes with brims that
are narrow in front and widen at the
sides and back are the rage in Paris
and seen here to a considerable extent
The smooth braids put together with
machine stitching are to be worn in
preference to the hand sewn fancy
weaves. and hats of crinoline or horse
hair will be fashionably worn as they
were last year. The rage for ostrich
feathers shows no sign of abatement,
rather there. is an increase in the ex-
travagant length of the long flumed
feathers worn. These in many cases
sweep downward to the shoulders OF
the wearer, and are disposed in most
cases from the under side of the brim.
Maline is in such demand for hat trim
mings and neck ruches that manu-
facturers can not turn out the goods
fast enough. Short sleeves and long
gloves are the rule with the newer
costumes. except in the strictly tailor
made styles. which are not much
changed from the standard model.

Of crepe de Chine in the new shade
known as sherry wine and is trimmed
with velvet and combined with a

with prOpTiety be made from any ma
terial that is thin enough and soft
enough to be tucked with success. and
as that is true Of almost everything
fashionable it means a long list Of
available materials.
The waist is made with the fitted lin
ing and consists of the front and the
backs The lining is faced to form the
chemisette and the front of the waist is
tucked while both front and blacks are
gathered at the waist line. The trim
ming band finishes the upper edge Of
the waist and a regulation stock COM
pletes the neck. The sleeves are in the
favorite three-quarter length with cuffs

be finished with lace or left plain as
