HANDSOME NEW PARLORS

Completed.

In line with the many changes
which have been made at the Waure-
gan house for the past few years is
the big Improvement which has re-
suited from the changes in the parlor
and the alcove adjoining, which about
completes the remodeling of that floor
of the popular hotel.
The changes are not confined to
the parlor and alcove alone, but
throughout the floor many improve
ments have been made, new rooms fit
TED up and the halls handsomely en-
bellished.
The doors have been taken out of
the parlor and the one into the room
on the Broadway side has been closed
Ihe others are now openings much
wider than the former doorways, hav-
ing fluted columns at the side, while
the large opening from the parlor into
the alcoVe has in addition two fluted
pilasters at each side. The woodwork
is all done in white and across the
ceiling are two false beams, making
an attractive finish to the large room.
The walls are done in old gold Jap

In the Railways on this floor will be

of the hall have been repapered.
The private office is a new room
made bp utilizing former unusued
space, and this is prettily done with
walls of Linerusta Walton, with pic

On the Main street side the rooms
