TheatergOers Enjoy
Initiation Of Oyster
Season at Piedmont

Old King Cole was a merry old
soul, yet the legend says he became
blase. But the opening of the oyster
season at the Piedmont Hotel Mon
day night was OF the kind that would
have caused the old fellow to bestir
himself.
While the formal after theater
opening did not take place until 10
o'clock. the excitement really began
at O'Clock, when the dining room
was opened for dinner. An orchestra
Of five women furnished a mixture OF
the latest rags and melodiOus clas-
sizes. At 10 o'clock a shrill blast on A
cornet announced that the after-the-
alter season was on. The 125 tables
in the main dining room filled raj
idly.
Assistant Manager Frank TAYLOR
was in charge Of the opening and e.
cetved COngra tulatiOns on his work.

the mother was. relying solely npon
them for the support Of her family,

RUSHING WORK ON
JUDICIARY .
BUHDING

The governor and Superintendent
II. X. Bishop. of the public works de-
Dartment have inspected the remodel
led judiciary building, which is to be
ready for at least partial occupation
the latter Part of this month. The
former expressed surprise at the ele-
gance promised on the interior Of the
structure, while Bishop declared that
abe finishing touches are being placed
much faster than he had expected,
and that apparently the courteous
all will be ready for the tenants
within ten days or two weeks.
The first Of the metal furniture
with which the building is to be
equipped may not arrive for several
weeks or months, but they see no
reason why the courts should not
move In as soon as their apartments
are finished, taking the old furniture
now in use. Even though wood borers
are running the old desks, chairs and
book racks, they said this trouble can
be eliminated by thorough reno
walton. There need be no fear Of the,
borers getting into the building. at
least from the courts, the superin-.
tendent declared, because the castings
and floors are all of metal and con-
crete. 7SgsDzF -. III = lfgss - e - -.
Governor Frear said that one of the.
first things to be urged upon the:
legislature WIFI be an appropriation.
for metal furniture for this building.
Only one contract for the buildings
equipment could be let out of the.
money available. That went to the,
Yaterh0use Company, in the sum Of.
Il. s3LG9s to supply the courts and
the library room, and the date for its
fhlfillnent is June q, 1918. - !
