frontage this terrace will be twenty
feet wide, while on the long south ex-

feet in width.
On the side facing Lake Michigan,
which will open out from the dining

Dining on Shipboard.
From Leslie's.

from Leslie 3.
When Dickens came over to America
seventy-one years ago there was one
large table in the dining room for the
passengers. The first officer sat at the
head. carving the turkey with all the
grace he could command between
lurches Of the good ship, trusting to
Providence that the gravy would not
slop over. The passengers sent their
plates along the line and waited for
their helping. Today the dining room
of a large ship looks like the dining
room OF fine hotel. 1t Is just as ex-
quisitely appointed and has every good
thing to eat that can be found on land.
In fact, one OF the new ships has q
restaurant named after famous one
touch by wireless. SO that the menus.
day by day, are the same. Think Of
having your dinner arranged by wire
less-your macaroni by Marconi!
The dining room is divided up into a
number of small tables, SO that you

waiter, instead of sitting at a long
table and passing your plate as Dick
ems did.
The development Of the wonders of
cold storage has done more than any
other one thing to make life on the
ocean wave one long round of joy.
Cold storage gives you the best In the
world to eat. and every day of the

From the New York Mail

TABLE SHOULD GOVERN
DINING ROOMS SIZE
Simple Method Suggested for
Determining Proper
Dimensions.

In many houses the rooms seem very
poorly adapted for their special use.
There are many bedrooms where the
proper placing Of a bed is almost i'm
possible. or where the person standing
before the mirror receives almost no
light. living rooms SO broken by doors
and windows that there is no room for
bookcases or cabinets, dining rooms in
which there is barely room to pass
around the table, says writer in
kieth's Magazine.
But In building a house for ones
SELF one ought to plan out the rooms
with reference to the furniture. Spe-
cially Is this care needed in the din
Ing room. whose proportions must de-
pend upon the sort Of table to be
used. Only the very large dining room
should ever be square, and then only
when round table Is used. With an
ODlong room the possible extension of
the table must be made the basis of
calculations.
To get the proper dimensions, seven
leet should be added to the width and
the extreme length Of the table. and a
sufficient additional space allowed for
the placing OF the sideboard, serving
table and china closet. When, as in
many or the newer houses, these lat
ter are made part Of the structure
or the room. 1t is possible to get on
with less floor space.
1t is always difficult to plan the ar
rangement Of windows in the dining
room SO that some one shall not have
the light full in his face. One way of
avoiding this condition is to light the
room from the corners, say with win
dows In either end Of the two long
sides OF the room. Then the sideboard
and serving table can be placed at the
ends OF the room. which, need be only
the width Of the table. with the neces-
sary. space for passing around it. 1t is
one or the contradictions Of language
that a sideboard looks best at the
end OF the room.

An apparatus for detecting the position
Of underground pipes, which Is being in

receiver. In using the instrument an
electric current is produced in the lost
pipe by connecting q battery to the near

A novel cement for concealing the flaws
in wood may be prepared as follows. ac-
cording to the Cement World: Put any

earthen pan, and pour boiling water on

RAISED FLOORS SUGGESTED.
Scheme for Adapting Old Houses t.
Modern Uses.

One Of the difficulties often encoun-
tered in adapting an old house to modern
uses is the extreme height of the
windows from the floor. Why not get
rid of this Objectionable height. not by
an expensive cutting down of the win
dows. often spelling their proportions.
but by raising the window end of the
room a foot? suggests a writer in
Kieth's Magazine.
The expense need not be great. and the
effect is excellent, especially in q bed
room, when 1t is desirable to use part
Of 1t for q sitting room.
Another thing which adds interest to q
commonplace room is the French fashion
of a platform for the bed. Many people
dislike q very low bedstead. and when
one must be used the platform makes
the situation more tolerable.

Drama and the Church.
From the Chicago Journal.

Some good gentlemen are much exer-
cised lest the success Of a recent venture
in this city should tempt the church to
Initiate the theater." Let them take
heart. The only sort of limitation
which need be feared is quite out Of the
question. For the rest, if church and
tfeater came nearer together. the result
might be good for both. 1t is only in
comparatively modern times that re-
ligion and the drama have been thought
Of as enemies. The great Greek tragedies
grew out of religious Representations. In
the middle ages. the church had her
miracle plays and morality plays and
the Passion Play at Oberammergau
keeps alive this memory of an earlier
time. The action Of some churches in
yolzing dramatic art to the service of re-
,igion is merely returHto first prin-

When the northeast branch of the

handsome new building which has just

The new location of the institution is

Is In a section which is fast becoming
an active business center. When the
former quarters of the bank were plan

that the building which was erected
would be sufficiently large to accom-
modate the business. The bank made
such rapid strides. however. that 1t was
realized that soon more spacious quar-
tiers must be secured. Since 1t was i'm
possible to enlarge the old building. the
lot at the northwest corner of 9Th and
III streets was purchased and the erec-
ton of the new structure begun.
The building, which was designed by

architecture, with two massive stone
columns on each side of the entrance.
1t is built OF white brick. with stone
trimmings. one story throughout, and
