Uositfon on washington Heights, with
frontage on one side by the new Colonial
PARK. and on the other by the Convent Of
the sacred Heart. which gives 10 delight
fuI outlook. as well as making Il one OF the
real breathing spaces Of the city
This block consists of the following hl1h
class elevator apartment houses: The st.
Agnes. covering the entire block front on
Convent avenue. between 18TH and both
streets: the St Francis and 81. Cecilia, oc-
cupyfng the easterly end OF the block on
st Nicholas Terrace. and fronting Colonial
park. the St Helena and st. Augusta, on
the both street side. overlooking the
grounds OF the Convent of the Sacred
Heart. and the St. Elizabeth and St Mon

NEW BUILDING FOR MUSEUM
Old Dwelling House i'll Bedford
Park MAY Be Replaced.

The museum officials Of Brooklyn expect
10 ask for q new building for the Children's
Museum to replace the old converted dwell
ing house in Bedford Park. The amount
needed for a fireproof structure is $1,000
Chapter ~ of the Laws of 1901 authorizes
the erection of such building. When this
law was passed with the approval Of the
Mayor. the old building had reached what
seemed the end of its usefulness. All of its
available exhibition room was filed and the
visitors We're uncOmfortably crowded.
The annual attendance has now reached
l33 sl9 On pleasant holiday afternoons the
museum is crowded that the little visit
ors are scarcely able to see the exhibitions.
Besides this, the children are in actual dan
ger, for the building is not freproof and
blaze might result in a large loss of life.
The contents OF the building are valued at
$50 900
The museum was established in 1899 and
il has expanded from year TO year until II
is now far more important than its found
ers had expected it to become in eleven
years. In fact. those III charge are only be
ginning to realize the opportunities which
il presents 1t has now become the custom
OF public school teachers to take their
classes to the museum for purposes of in
struction Last year 134 teachers took their
charges there. CuratorS hold lectures for
the benefit of the visitors and on busy days
the lectures are repeated again and again
The children also make great use OF the
museum library
Probably no other public institution IN
the city is run so cheaply, and few are
more worthy of the expenditure of the
public funds. In the last year. the cost
Of maintenance was $12145. This sum
allowed the expenditure of nine cents for
each visitor The big museums cost the
city about four times as much for each
visitor and probably give less in return be-
cause the Children's Museum is conducted
as a sort of auxiliary to the school Sys-
tenn. The possibilities for such an institu-
ton are obvious. With the erection of the
proposed new building the facilities will
be much increased, as the structure will be
designed 10 meet the specific requirements
Of the institution Now. the authorities are
handicapped by the building they use,
which, Ct course, was never intended to be
a museum.
The museums of Brooklyn receive less
support than those of Manhattan. For
1871, the Board of Estimate and Apportion-
meut has allowed $l2.f+5 for the Chldrens
Museum; l4.550 for the new Botanic Garden
ana $g3, 40 Tor the Central Museum. Inc
Central Museum is as greatly handicapped
by lack of funds as the smaller museum.
Brooklynites in the habit OF complain
ing of the appearance of the collections
and the rooms. but it is not generally
known that the Central Museum is 50
badly off for funds that improvements
cannot be made. Ii is not altogether credit
able To the city TO nave it known that the
experts employed at the museum are prob
ably getting less pay annually on the
average than the men who clean the streets
in front Of the building or the men vino
run the elevators III the city buildings
downtown.

The November Bulletin of the Real Es-

a real estate broker cannot pay too much
attention to his personal appearance
If he expects to be prosperous he must
look prosperous. for in a city of nearly five
million persons many business deals owe
their inception TO an adequate presentation
of the subject in the first instance by a
man who is adequately presentable.
We by no means advocate fOppshness or
a dandified appearance. except in mOdera-
tion. To be properly shaved with well cut
hair and clothes not overworn and well
brushed and pressed and shoes well Shined,
means simply a decent regard for one
own personal appearance, and common
sense should teach any man presenting
