screening the walls of the environing exposition palaces. The columns will be sixtN feet in height; surmounting the colonnade will be a series of no figures symbolizing the stars. Each figure will support huge artificial jewel four feet in diameter At night these jewels will glitter with dazzling lights; by day t''as-' radiance will be obscured.
 In the center of the court will be great sunken garden with benches to seat about 1000 people, surround ing the garden. In the garden will be groupings of classic statuary, dancing figures, fauns, satyrs and nymphs; flowers, trees and vines will contrast with the statuary and with the superb colonnades and the tow ering golden domes.
 To the east as one passes from the Court of Sun and Stars to the great east or Festive Court will be huge 1 triumphaI arch 90 feet in height and surmouated by a colossal grouping of statuary. Camels, elephants and Oriental warriors will crown the sum r.it of the great arch. To the east on the approach of the Court of Four Seasons will be triumphal arch of similar size surmounted by a group representing western civilization. A 1 huge prairie schooner will comprise ! the central motif of the group.
 As the visitor in 1915 passes be- heath either of the huge triumphal arches to the east or Festive Court. or to the west court the Court of Eour Seasons, he will traverse great avenues between the exhibit palaces the various tones. Mir Guerin gives the following word picture of his color plan for the exposition:

This color plan, that of making the. group of buildings a veritable blaze of glory and at the same time avoiding the garish or barbaric. Is the great new salient feature of the exposition"
 } The Court of the Sun and Stars will be 750 feet in width from east to west and 300 feet along its main axis. At the south end of the court will arise the huge tower of the Ad- ministration building. 400 feet in height, and dominating the architec- ture of the exposition. The upper part of the tower will take the form of terraces leading up to group of figures surrounding globe typifying the world the tower will be lined with jewels which will glitter like diamonds when searchlights are turned upon them. At the base of the tower. which will occupy an acre in extent, will be huge arcade 125 feet high, beneath which the visitor may enter into the Court of Sun and Stars from the main exposition en- trance.
 In the yaulted archways of the tower will be grouped series of mural paintings designed by Jules Cuerin and expressing the keynote of the exposition color scheme But perhaps the most impressive feature of the Court of Sun and Stars will be found in classic colonnade extend ing entirely around the court and
