AN EIGHT STORY STRUCTURE.

The home is to be one which the little
group of college women who founded the
club probably did not foresee in even their
most roseate visions Of long life and
prosperity. 1t is to be an eight story
building in sgd street. just east of Park
avenue. The facade Of the two lower
stories will be OF white limestone. that Of
the upper ones of buff colored brick, with
limestone trimmings The exterior deco
lations will be the. deiira Re INNS and me-
dallions which the famous group of
Adams brothers made popular in the late
eighteenth century. Across the second
story there will be gracefully rallied bal

open by means of three French windows.

But What About the
Senator's EmployerP

Truman q. Palmer, the beet sugar
lobbyist, told the senate investigat-
ing committee that a series of charts
prepared by him argumentative
against free sugar and published as
q senate document had attained a
circulation of $4,000 copies under
the Thanking privileges of Senator
Lodge.
The Associated Press report Of
the committee proceedings says:
1.-THE charts first appeared in the
senate during the speech of Mr..
Lodge made last July. Chairman
0verman and Senator Reed develop
ed on cross.examination that after
Mr.. Lodge had secured permission
to print the documents, Palmer got
II proof from the government print
ing office and revised it.
1.-THE two senators seemed intent
to emphasize that u representative
of private interest had been al.
lowed to change something the sen.
ate had ordered printed, although
Mr.. Paluer denied that any material
alterations had been made.
chairman Overman announced,
however, that officials of the govern
ment printing office would be sum-
moned to tell how such IA document
had been sent to private hands for
revision and that If Senator Lodge
wished to testify he would be al.
lowed to do so.
" The mailing Of this document,
| find, would cost five cents, said
Senator Reed to Palmer, and you,
therefore saved $4,000 for your en-
ployers.'
q" I'm very glad to know it, re-
piled Palmer"
But what about Senator Lodges
employer?
The saving of this $4,000 TO this

pense to the government of the
United States. Mr.. Palmer rejoices
