1 in varnished calcamine. that reflects the lights from the fixtures below. The floor is a handsome design in mosaic, the colors being subdued in tone and the whole very carefuily placed.
 At the back of this department ie a big gothic arch, and here the color sche eme undergoes e radical but pleas ing change. From the khaki brown. filled in with almost indecernable green, the wood work is Holland blue quartered oak filled in the same man ner as the wood work in front. SIX big columns are arranged in tiers down the room, their sombre tone oelns thrown into bold relief by the snowy white panels along the walls aDove great French plate mirrors set In wood the same color as the columns m the pilasters between the mirrors bronze Hons heads holding in their teeth ground glass electric bulbs. are placed at regular intervals. lending lighter tone to the general ensemble; Suspended from the ceiling at the entrance to the second hall are great cut glass globes similar to those on the soda fountains In the front part or the establishment. The furniture Is exclusively mission, and matches the fixtures of the rear hall. A table capacity of a hundred has been arranged TOT anu Lhts HuAiUOh can be comfortably seated.
 At the extreme rear great medie- val fireplace is being constructed, old English in design. which lends honey air to the otherwise sumptuous ap- pearance of the place. This fireplace will take up a third of the rear wall and will have ingle hooks in 1t. A third room, separated from the rest of the establishment by a heavy wall, r.@ Nxr "a nsflfnaFV danQrt- ment, and the array of shining copper fixtures, electric stoves and wealth of 1 glass testify to the respect in which the up-to-date establishment holds cleanliness.
 The basement. which has been over hauled and replastered and received a 1 new concrete flooring, will be used as
 4 store room and place for the carbo- hating plant. which. by the way, Is of the latest improved design. The pump 1 Is an automatic affair that always
 keeps the pressure at the right figure and always keeps the carbonated wa l ter fresh and pure.
