l another loggia, looking eastward on which the family, on especially balmy days may have their meals served This dining room will not be entirely ready next Tuesday For the first few days following their moving in next Tuesday, 11r. Hartman and his family will dine | in smaller private dining room con- nected with Mir. and Mrs. Harrimans bedroom suite on the second floor.
 Out of the dining room leads the but l ler's pantry, where the shelves are of glass. It's floor and the walls are tiled. Tiled, too, are the kitchen walls-no turk ing place anywhere for microbes or in- sects. The kitchen dough board is of marble, and there are separate sinks for the washing of vegetables and dishes Ultimately, the house is to have an cleo trio range. In the basement are the l heating and refrigerating plants.
 The house is to be heated by hot water. l By means of the refrigerating plant there I are cold rooms off the kitchen and small refrigerator in the buffers pantry Behind the kitchen are the g servants rooms, white enameled, high ceilings and full of light.
 Living and Sleeping Rooms.
 The second floor is given over entirely 1 to sleeping and living rooms. The sleep l ing rooms and servants quarters have all been temporarily furnished for the fam ily's arrival next Tuesday. Every bed room has a fireplace, Mir. Harrican having a hobby for log fires. He recently wrote over, directing that one be put even in his private bathroom.
 As this bathroom is less than 12 feet square, Mir. Hartman was anxious to prove that a fireplace could be put in the room without danger to the occupant 50. with the letter of instructions he mailed a humorous sketch of himself r{x fha lat f6a ft.1 fireplace, in the act of reaching for an object which he labels Sponge"

The wainscoting is in white American oak, and the amount of hand carving on 1t represents many months of patient work on tho part of several skilled work | men.
 There are big marble mantel and four big easement windows looking straight down upon the lakes and swimming pool. The walls are lined all the way round with oak bookcases.
 In the east wing of the third floor are rooms for MT. Harrimans two sons. The wainscoting in these is carved black cherry There is a bed room and sitting room, but neither a gymnasium a bil- Hard room, a cardroom nor a bowling alley The Harrimans are open-a1r boys, and MT. Hartman has built a two-acre playground for them instead. This play ground is in 8 stone's throw north from the house, and had to be blasted out of the solid rock among the oaks of the mountain tops. Then 1t was leveled and grass seed sown.
 Camp Built on Lake.
 MT. Hartman has also built a camp on the shore of Cranberry Lake, immediately below the east wing of the house. The lake is about half a mile square. The camp consists of a boathouse, a dining room, built of the toughest pine, and two places far tents.
 MT. Hartman who is fond of his lakes and woods, and is constantly writing to his architects to hide the buildings as much as possible expects to sleep in this camp himself. Another body of water, called Forest Lake, Is about a mile from tho house. and an artesian well. HOG feet deep, furnishes the house with water
 Several other lakes are included in the property. The swimming pool is on the southeast side of the house, separated merely by a grassy lawn and heavy
