Another convenience which will ada
greatly to the value Of the ward as a fresh

skirts the bow window OF the living room.
The ample dimensions of this addition will
give the patients opportunity to soak In
the warm sunshine on balmy spring and

evenings. The porch is entirely covered
with screen to keep out troublesome in
scots and in the winter time this screen
can be replaced by windows which will
convert the porch into a sun parlor. The
canvass roof will provide protection from
rain and sun and at the same time make
the porch airy and comfortable.

the greater comfort of the patients an at

During the entire week the Industrial Sec
ton held an exhibition in the pillar room

of the Rotunda, which was visited by in
terested throngs. The section devoted to
the Dun Elmer Guild was presided over by
Miss Gleeson herself, and no exhibits were
more admired than her beautiful rugs and
enamels.
The designs are for the most part the
work Of Miss Gleason, but lf desired copies
are made of oriental carpets, as the method
Of weaving is that which has been en-
ployed I'm the east for centuries. The wool
used is grown, dyed and spun at AthIone,
the looms are of Irish wood and Irish
manufacture, ard Miss Gleeson's designs
arc mainly notifications of Celtic orna-
ments ard tracery.
There was also a varied collection OF
exhibits from the Irish art companies Of
Dublin; linens, muslins, hosiery from Bal
%briggan, pottery and sculpture. An inter-
esting display was the showing OF the XII
kenny wood workers, an association OF
craftsmen who are turning out some hand
carving and joinery. They exhibited a
number Of pieces Of furniture and a series
OF bookcases on the American sectional
plan decorated with carved Celtic tracory.
Unique in the annals Of Irish agriculture
was the display of the Irish Tobacco COM
parry. 1t consisted Of 4 large quantity of
1880 N'6N'NNNN's hAl AAlhlt III litldIU
from Irish grown tobacco. The cultivation
of the leaf has lately been extensively en-
tered into by Lord Dunraven, Lord Barry

others and offers a new field for the Irish
husbandman.
There were, of course, many specimens of
tweed, linen, lace and embroideries; there
were poplins, hats-both felt and straw
travelling rugs, books-both English and
lriSh-stationery and papyTs Of various
xmas and a goodly showing Of Irish-made

pubic not to let millions OF money go out

quito scourge, the roof is entirely screened
over with wire netting. over this there is
a canvass cover, which is all the roof there
is to the sleeping apartment. This cover
is so arranged It can be rolled up when de-
sired or easily let down to cover the pa
tients securely from the weather.
Another provision to secure fresh air
when the roof is on is made by the use Of
a double roll Of canvas on each side of
the ridge. The top roll reaches about half
way down the incline of the roof. the re-
naming portion being covered by the sec
ond portion. over which the first laps. A
gap of several inches Is left between the
two rolls, SO that the air can nave free
sweep, but the rain cannot drip through.
Complete privacy is given to the sleepers
by the walls, which extend about half way
to the roof. Between the wall and the roof
the wall is open in summer, but can be
closed up in winter. Like the roof, the
open space is screened. There is one win
dow on each side of the women's sleeping
room and four on each side OF the mems.
Naturally, the provisions for fresh air
carry with them some Inconvenience as to
heating. 1t would be impracticable, IL not
impossible, to heat the air before it enters
the sleeping room. Hence, a comparatively
simple eXpedient is resorted to. Under
each bed there is a square Of large-sized
steam pipe, almost as large as the bed it.
self. The warmth from this pipe rising
upward will heat the bed, and the occupant
will suffer little or no Inconvenience from
the weather, even during the cold snaps Of
winter.
The sleeping arrangements on the mems
side of the ward are practically the same
as those for the women. The mems Sleep
ing room extends from the west end Of the
building. THE only difference in the gem
eral arrangement lies in its larger size.
1t will accommodate ten beds, five on each
side of the main aisle. 1t opens into the
dressing room, which in turn has adjoining
closet and bath room equipped like the
woman's apartments.

other passage way which branches off
from the main one at right angles. The
passage is wide and airy and is accessible
to the kitchen so that food can be easily
carried to the new building from the hos
pital kitchen. This passage way leads d.
rectly into the room used for the double
purpose of a dining room and main living
room. This apartment is light and CHEEKY,
with a bay window running the entire
width on the south side, giving all the
sunlight possible to secure in a room Of
the size. The windows are made with re-
movable sash so they car be taken out
when desired in warm weather and replaced
when the rigors of the climate make it
necessary for the comforts Of the inmates.
On the north side OF the room is a
crate of neat design which will be used
TO heat 1t when the air is too chilly to do
without a fire entirely and not cold enough
to require the kindling Of the furnace.
On one side Of the CRATE is a case of
shelves built into the wall which may be
used for a library or clothes press, or both.
The room gives ample space to accommo-
date the patients when the conditions Of
the weather make It more desirable even
for an open air patient to be inside than
out Of doors. In the winter time the room
will be heated by steam.
AT the east end of the dining, or living
room, is the entrance that leads to the
women's dressing room through a small
han. The dressing room is equipped with
five lockers, a large seat for the use of
the patients while dressing. Connected
with 1t is a closet and a bathroom con-
