without saying. Only long purses

bachelors, and successful actors and
opera singers who loved the limelight
on and on the stage. !.
Sunday evening was usually exceed
ingly quiet at the Astruria. Most OF
the tenants were out of town. over the
weekend, and as the restaurant anu
roof garden were only slimly patron
lied, the elevators ran less frequently,
making less chatter and hustle In cor
ridors and s~tairways. Stiffness reigned
everywhere as II the SOLDERING ihlu-
ence Of the Sabbath had invaded even
this exclusive domain of the uhholy
rich. The uniformed attendants, hav-
ing nothing to do, yawned lazily IN
the deserted halls. Some even In
dulged in surreptitious maps In o +

be disturbed. Callers were SO rare
that when some one did enter from

It was shortly after seven o'clock

insolently, after a pause. Like most
hall boys, he took a savage pleasure
in saying that the tenants were out.
The caller looked annoyed.

frown. Il have an appointment with

This was not strictly true, but the
bluff had the desired effect.

essary for it's fortunate tenants to
leave it unless they were SO minded.
Everything for their comfort and
pleasure was to be had without taking
the trouble to go out of doors. On
the ground floor were shops of all
kinds, which catered only to the
A%struria's patrons. There were also
on the premises a bank, a brokers'
office, a hairdresser, and a postal tele-
graph office. A special feature was
the garden court, containing over go
600 square feet OF open space, and
tastefully laid out with palms and
flowers. Here fountains splashed and
an orchestra played while the patrons
lounged on comfortable rattan chairs
or gossiped with their friends. Up on
the sixteenth floor was the cool roof
