and breadth; II Is absolutely lnue-
pendent of pillar or support and is the
only one of its kind in the United
States.
The room is lighted with clusters
of incandescents on richly decorated
bronze standards and in chandeliers,
with 10 globes in each group, and
rows of half-hidden lights just below
the ceiling. Daylight comes In
through two semi-eliptical windows
at either end of the arched ceiling
and 10 sem-circlular lunettes piercing
the dome on each side.
Opening from the main waiting
room is the dining room with service
equal to the best metropolitan cafes.
There also are women's rooms finish
ed in Italian marble and equipped
with writing desks and materials,
shoe shining, manicuring and hair
dressing facilities, and maid in wait
ing. On the east side of the main
waiting room are the news stand and
parcel windows, barber shop, smoking
room and various travel comforts for
men. On the floor above are more
secluded rest, lounging and emer-
gency rooms, matron,. trained
nurse and every facility for caring for
the sick. There is even little brass
bed for the lost baby the conductor
may bring in off the train. There
are bath rooms, lavatories AMI every
where in the building the sanitary
bubble drinking cups. On the floor
with the rest rooms, part of the
general scheme of restfulness, is Il
tea room with tiled frieze of land
scapes and soft coloring in shades
of brown and green. The tiled floor
is of green.
In front of the tea room and rest
room is balcony with wide stone
balustrade from which is an exquisite
view of the vaulted spaces, softened
lights and delicately blended rose and
green coloring of the Roman atrium
where passengers wait.
This balcony also leads to rest and
lounging rooms for men and the baths
and barber shop. The traveller desir
ing to be refreshed from long over
land journey or tedious day in the
city, can have himself as we'll groom
, ed as though he were in his own
home, while his wife is being madn
just as beautiful as though she had
just emerged from her own dainty
boudoir.
With it all, the conveniences and
luxuries with which to invite ones
soul and any lurking inclination to
laziness, there is no danger of miss
ing ones train for there are clocks
at every turn, all regulated by one
master clock.
While every detail has been sup
piled for those who travel in luxury,
neither has the emigrant, seeking n
new home in New West, been over
looked. In specially arranged quar-
tiers, laundry tubs, drying racks, tub
and shower baths, have been provid-
ed.
The emigrant rooms have concrete
floors and tiled walls that may be
kept clean and sanitary without diff
Guilty. There are also lavatories, and
a lunch room.
The entire building has system
of ventilation in which the air is
washed and cooled and changed ev-
cry 20 minutes.
It is not only the tourist, the trav-
eler of many days and miles and the
emigrant who find comfort, conven-
fence and peace within the walls OF
the new Mort Western terminal, but
the suburbanite as we'll finds hers
an undreamed-of paradise. If he Is
to join his wife in the evening for
box party or other formal function
he can check his dress clothes when
he comes in in the morning, return
to the station, and, before his wife's
train is due, have bath, a shave
and a manicure, then dine with hel
and take a motor car, all under the
roof of the terminal. On his way
home he may pick up his suit case
with his business clothes. 1t is more
convenient than his club.
Also there are eight suburban exit;
for the commuter whose business lies
north of Madison street, by whlcf
he may avoid going through the mali
entrance and two or three blocks GU
of his way.
On the Clinton street side. littl'
i north of the main entrance is pri
