large windows. All day long, in the
cold winter, the warm sun shines on
this room, while In the summer the
striped awnings and the seven open
windows render the room cool and
pleasant. The living room Of this
suite has o closet four feet deep and
ten. feet long. There is disappearing
bed-not folding-up bed-and the
very neatest Of white-tiled bathrooms.
And there are French doors leading
out into the sun-room. You can't
beat it; 1t can't be beaten.
These Blackstone hotel rooms are
not like other rooms. Those who have
been trained, by the modern apart
ment house, to Judge other rooms by
the apartment measure, will be very
much surprised when they see the
size and convenience of the Black
stone rooms.
Spacious Rooms. ,
The Bankers Realty Investment
company, in designing this beautiful
building for the owner acted on the
belief that the modern city man
is growing weary of the little box-like
rooms into which the builders of
apartment houses are dividing their
buildings. Instead of attempting to
make their rooms as small as possible,
the Blackstone builders took the op-
posite course and made the rooms just
as large as they could. Room 113 is
twenty-one feet, seven inches long and
twelve feet, five inches wide. Not all
the rooms are that size: some are
smaller; but some are larger, too: The

And Just to the west Of the dining
rooms. close enough for good service,
far enough removed to prevent any
odors, is the kitchens regular dream
OF kitchen. On the darkest Decem-
Der day that Blackstone kitchen will
be light. The description? None but
an expert hotel cook could describe
It; could tell the use Of the thousand
and-one things that are contained In
that kitchen. Come and see 1t for your
self. You'll dream Of 1t, II you do.
The remaining half. the south half,
OF the main floor, is given over to one.
and two-room apartments.
A one-Room House
A one-room apartment doesn't
sound" very large. But In the Black.
stone, things are different. First, you
have no need Of a dining room. That
stretches that one room into two. Sec
ondly, you do no cooking at the Black
stone. and that makes three rooms Of
your one room. The Blackstone Ia
hotel. not an apartment house. You
want a reception room, Of course, but
there are nothing finer, anywhere,
than the party rooms and lounging
rooms Of the Blackstone--and they
all 90 with the hotel service; they are
for the use Of the residents and there
Ia no extra charge for the service. So,
a reception room is not a necessity.
And the one room has expanded into
four. A living" room Is a necessity,
however, and so Is bedroom. But, In

How the Floors of Blackstone Were Planned for Family Use

/ second, third and fourth floors have
identical arrangements and very large
ly, the one and two-room apartments
are confined to these floors. However,
there are some two or three three
room suites on each Of these floors
while on the fifth, sixth and seventh
floors, which are Identical with one
another and contain the larger suites.
there are few Of the smaller apart
ments.
And these upper fioors-the fifth,
sixth and seventh-certainly contain
some" suites Here is one with Eve
rooms, six closets, bath, "a fireplace
and mantel, private hall, fifteen win.
dows. With the hotel service, which
furnishes the dining room, kitchen, re-
ception rooms, ball rooms, roof gar
dens, billiard parlor, maids, servants.
space? Yes. Well, in that case, on the
same floor there is a suite of six
rooms, including a sun room. Want
still more space? Yes. Then take
this seven-room suite consisting Of
living room, library, sun-room, four
bed rooms. bath room, and all sorts of
closets.
But come up one story higher-up
on the eighth floor. That's where
are the three roof gardens, the big
banquet and dancing rooms, the party
rooms, lounging rooms, soda fountain,
and things Of that kind--and the finest
view in all Omaha. The eighth story
OF the Blackstone is three stories
higher than the tallest office building
down In town. The Blackstone is on.
top of high hill, you know.
Playground On Top.
The eighth floor is a playground Of
the Blackstone. Perhaps, If you ars
resident of the hotel, you have a
single room, or two-room apartment.
II that be the case, here is where you
will take your recreation. When you
wish to sleep, or to get of by your
self, as sometimes you will, you will
remain In your rooms. But when you
want to meet your friends, when you
crave society, when you want to see
people, when you want to have a good
time, you will take one Of the eleva-
tors and run up to the eighth floor.
II It's winter, the glass sides will be
closed, the steam will be turned on,
the flowers will be blooming and you
can stand in warm, comfortable cor
ner and look out over the snow-buried
world. You can see far beyond Flor
ence to the north, and the bluffs of the
east side Of the Missouri are in sight
for nearly forty miles. Child's Point,
Sarpy county, and the country to the
south is all within your view. West

covered. will stretch as far as you can
see.
But you need not care. The Black
stone is a city within itself. You can
eat, drink and be merry; you can
dance, play and enjoy yourself
For the summer, the Blackstone
roof gardens are the coolest places in
Omaha. There are three of the gar.
dens. All have the pergola effect, and
all are covered with vines and flowers.
Each Of the three is forty feet wide,
facing the east. The north and south
gardens are each fifty feet long, while
the center garden is thirty feet long.
The big ball room-which is turned
into banquet hall, seating $50 people
upon occasions-is on this top floor.
It is undoubtedly the finest ball room

The Blackstone hotel Is shaped like

in the center There's a big, wide
porch. reached after a walk through
the tall sheltering naples. which break
the rays Of the hot sun in the summer
and head Off some OF the cold In
the winter time.
Once through the tiled vestibule, the
visitor finds himself In the entrance
corridor, with a big roomy writing
room on his right, while on the left
there Is a reception room large enough
for half a dozen different sets Of Wis.
itors to assemble without one party in
terfering with another one.
But this first view OF the interior
does not give the impression Of q
hotel. It creates the impression OF
magnificent private home--the home
Of a well-bred, wealthy man who has
had unlimited funds with which to
furnish his palace In exquisite taste.
There Is no hotel office In sight.
There's q managers private room

his business. II he really wants to lind
the office Of the building, he will have
to hunt for It, And when he finds It,
It is behind q pair Of handsome French
doors at the far end Of the lounging
room. This Is all In keeping with the
efforts OF the management to remove
from sight every evidence Of hotel life
and to create the impression OF q

Lobby and Elevators.
And that main lobby. To begin
with, 1t is ten feet wide and forty
four feet long. At the far end are the
passenger elcvators---two OF them.
They are not the usual apartment
house" elevators OF the kind called
automatic" but which make the resi-
dents into elevator boys. They are
regular elevators. with uniformed con.
ductors. And they run all day and all
night.
But the lobby is not like a long hall,
with straight. severe. lines, similar to
the hallway Of an office building. Once
past the writing room on the right
and the reception room on the left, the
lobby broadens out into great. hand
some lounging room, twenty feet wide
in part. and fifty feet--yes, fifty--wide

But not like a convention hall It is

and for their friends.
Go through those French doors
down at the north end Of the loung-
ing room. That's the main dining
room. II is forty feet wide and sixty
feet long. There are just fifteen big
light windows on the three sides Of
the room that are open. And then
there are the two private dining
rooms, one ten feet by fourteen and
the other fourteen by twenty-eight.

what shall the story be about this
evening, children?" asked Daddy, as
he came into the nursery.
''Oh anything at all, Daddy" said
Dick.
We'll, that seems easy enough"
said Daddy. "You certainly are not
fussy or particular. And, as / haven't
told you Story for long time about
the Barnyard Folks, l think it is high
time to do so.
Several days ago Mr.. Rooster was
walking around and shouting at the
top of his voice 'Cock-a-doodle-do over
and over again. He had fine red cap
on the top of his head and he was Just
as proud of himself as he could be,
Dear me, but he was proud!
"He strutted about and kept on
growing. The rest of the BARNARD
Folks We're just the least little bit
afraid of Mr.. Rooster. He was so very
dfgnified and stylish. At least he al
ways told them he was, and he said so
in a tone that made them believe it
must be true"
"Was he the only Rooster in the
Barnyard, Daddy?" asked Nancy.
"Oh, no, indeed" replied Daddy.
though you would have thought so
from the way he acted. But he was
the only Rooster they called Mr. The
others they called just plain 'Roos-
ter or Red Top or 'Tuft,' or maybe
'RoOstie,' but this one they called Mr..
Rooster always.
las he was growing and Strutting
about he happened over by a small
pond at the extreme end of the Barn
yard. 1t was just what he had meant
to do all the morning, and he hadn't
found time to before.
All, I'm a busy old fellow he
said. I must crow for the delight of
all the Barnyard Folks-and if didn't
crow early in the morning | do believe
some Grownups would sleep all day !!
They should appreciate me, though
sometimes they're SO lazy they think
they like that old Sandman creature
better. Yes, | have q great deal
must do. But now ! can attend to my
looks
HE stood on one side of the ponc
and looked at his own reflection. After
he saw that he was looking well and
that his white feathers were spick and
span, and his red hat bright and clean,
he started back, growing as he went.
He used to walk alone you see, for
ne didn't quite think any of the other
Animals were fine enough to walk with
him. But on his way back he met Mr..
Peacock.
Good morning, Mr.. Peacock said
Mr.. Rooster with a special crow of
