The interior of the Christian church
is undergoing a complete re-decora-
tion and the audience room is now
occupied by a high scaffolding, so
that the work on the ceilings can be
executed. In various. places the
plaster has been replaced where it
was loose or cracked and, after q
thorough cleaning, the walls are sized
and then, the new work is done. But
the work of Improvement will not
stop here, but after the decorating
and re-scating,. new carpets will be
placed in the choir gallery, on the
pulpit platform and in the aislcs.
The transept will also receive con-
siderable attention.

J. B. Doll, the restaurant man, of
113 High avenue west, has completed
the re-decoration of the ladies' din
ing room and this has now been done
in the lighter colors of cream and
yellow. with a Tiffany blend finish.
1t, will be remembered that some
time ago, the party brick wall be-
tween the Doll and Phinney proper
tics had to be repaired and rebuilt in
part, by the removal Of a large vault
on the Phinney side, and as this work
has been completed the new decora-
ton of the dining room was in order.
1t is a fine piece OF work.

215 North C street has a newly
chingled roof over the kitchen and
dining room extension.
