because there are more families to provide
accommodations for, but because retail and
wholesale business invasions have lessened

more conveniences can be had at a much

quickly changing its building lines In order
to meet it's share Of this demand.
For years the majority OF builders there
were busiest putting, up block fronts OF
little private dwelling houses for one OF
two families. often 1t seemed as II the
uppermost thought of the construction mer
was just TO add some more thousand dwell
ling houses TO the many miles OF streets
lined on both sides with such houses, with
no desire apparently OF having the struct-
ures picturesquely built.
There is a similarity in the architecture
OF most of the small dwelling house dis
tricts that detracts from the natural beauty
OF the localities. But this defective build
ing feature is not as irritating as IL was,
because builders are paying as much at
tention nowadays TO the outdoor charms of
their building creations as to the indoor
charms.

dry malt into the mash to keep the witches

save the liquor from the frolicsome inter-

OF exciting thirst. II may possibly have
been used 10 this end by the unscrupulous,
but the real reason was legitimate. Salt

liquor fine.-London Chronicle.

Many millions ha re been paid In the last
y,u,r weeks for new uptown apartment

II is not the houses themselves that IN
crease in value, but the sites which they
soccupy.
The rush Of retail business up Fifth ave
niue and into the cross street branches IN
the last few years has made many Wen
Gl,nown persons desert their old homes and
seek more northerly residential places.
For the present most Of them have Sc
jected apartment house suites as their new
homes, but it is a certainty that many Will
later shoulder the burdens which accom-
pany home building and that their perma-
nent new home will be a commodious dwell
ing shaped to their desires in the upper
Fifth avenue district
All these facts have helped to enhance
values In the upper Fifth avenue district
and TO create a wider market for houses
in that section.

last week brought about a change IN own
srship to the dwelling house at the south
corner of 62d street and Fifth avenue, which
was owned by Princess del Drago, and TO
