struggle to live were the little bit

BLUSTER WITH A BIG HEART.

Chicago is big and dirty, boastful, arrogant
and reckless to the point of crfminality. But
Chicagos heart is as big as its buster and quick
to respond when help is needed. A city that, id
the midst of hard times, will pour out more than
quarter of million dollars in few days to aid
families of victims of horror such as that of
the Eastand may be forgiven many faults. lii
every great world calamity of recent years the
per capita charity of Chicago has exceeded that
of all American cities. Chicago's heart is "in
the right place."

OLD-FASHIONED PARLOR
A THING OF THE PAST
From the Minneapolis Journal


Modern home builders and architects
assert that the parlor is passing. That
cherished institution. they say, is sure
ly. If slowly. slipping into tho limbo
OF forgotten things. along with the old
daguerreotype Of grandfather and the
melodeon. The living room has usurp-
ed the place of the parlor.
The home is place in which to live.
That the family Is the most fmportan mt
adjunct of the home and should be
allowed the comforts of the best room
in the house is getting to be more and
more the popular idea. In yesteryear
1t seemed that the parlor was some
thing that was too good for the family
In fact. the builders and architects are
accusing the staid old parlor of being
undemocratic. When the present gen.
Grafton wore knee trousers the parlor
was the room of state in the home.
1t was a room reserved for the WISH
tor, set apart for state occasion, in
Guiding funerals. and generally devoid
Of the JOY of life. Hair ornaments and
crocheted tides were part of the sys-
tenn.
A certain class of furniture belonged
to the old-fashioned parlor. 1t was
either the stiff or formal sort or the
highly ornate. 1t comprised the gilt
furniture from the French. the marble
topped stand from the Victorian era
of cushioned seats for two, and with
it went variety of brocade uphol-
stery Yes, remark the home builders
the living room has supplanted the
parlor and the guest and the family
are both better off for that fact.

Called Mystery Corner.
The property on which the building
stands was acquired several years ago
Because Of the lack of definite infor-
nation concerning the identity of its
owners and the use to which it was
to be put, the property generally was
referred to as the mystery corner.
When the construction of the building
was started no announcements were
made as to just what its character was
to be, and the structure accordingly
was nicknamed the building of mys-
terry" Later it was announced that the
property was owned by a corporation
known as the Washington New Thea
ter Company, in which members of the
drm of S. Kann. Sons & Co were the
principal owners. AS the building be-
gan to take shape the mystery" as
to its character was dispelled.
