Nothing daunted, we set out with

Different Strata.
In the furnishing and fitting OF some
OF the new apartments and apart.
ment hotels several interesting fea-
lures have been under discussion. In
other days. in the old class OF such
buildings in this city, dining room
for children and servants was con.
sidered sufficient for all requirements.
Today in building a hotel there
must be a succession of dining rooms.

will also decline TO eat at the same

Another question Is concerning the

was one of the great attractions OF
the old Windsor Hotel. The tubs, al.

metal, were at least three feet deep.
The new porcelain tubs are shallow,
and narrow and only the small sized

The season of peace and good will
is upon us, and few there be whose
hearts are not touched by the spirit
of universal gladness. In all the hur-
ry and rush of the week Just past.
one might read in eager faces an
unusual self-forgetfulness, thought
fulness of others and a desire to do
something, If ever so little. to dis
seminate happiness. Much of this
the sweetest part of twas done
not only unselfishly, but at personal
sacrifice; and yet who on this Christ
mas morn will say it it not more
blessed to give than TO receiver If
Christ had done no more by coming
into the world than to establish this
festival, with all its home-comings,
reunions, Christmas trees, full stock
ings, gift remembrances and sur
charge of joyousness. how blessed still
would be his name.
What beautiful memories are en-
twined about it! What charming le-
gends, told in every tongue, delight
the fancy of old and young! Age
upon age 1t comes in childhood. and
day upon day wnen we are older
grown, bringing its wealth of joys,
which are old, yet ever new; dethron-
ing selfishness for a season and en-
nobling and uplifting mankind. All.
poor indeed is he who is unloved and
loveless when the holly berry red
dens and the yufe log burns.
