CHIMES TO ROUSE
HOTEL GUESTS IS
LATEST DEVICE
Ambassador Has Installed EIec-
trio Alarm Clocks to Call
Sleepers.
Among the many unusual features

Among the many unusual features
ionable hotel. the Ambassador, Park
avenue and Fifty-first street. is an
electrically operated alarm clock In
each seeping room. thereby obviating
the necessity of the guest depending
on the teephone to awaken him i'm tho
morning. BY setting this clock at the
hour at which he wishes to arise, he
Is awakened by a series of chimes.
These clocks are controlled by a mas
ter clock which in turn Is regulated
from Arlington observatory, WASH
ington.
In the mechanical departments of
the new hotel, which is surrounded by
the homes and clubs of wealthy New
Workers., and which represents a total
investment OF approximately $1O.-
DOC, 900, all the latest appliances which
make for efficiency, comfort, and
safety have been installed. One Of
these is a special attachment on the
passenger elevators which causes the
car to automatically adjust itself. H.,
by any chance. the operator fails to
stop directly at the floor level.
Another departure from hotel ira
dition is noted in the furnishings.
There are no apartments in the Am
bassador furnished alike. Each suite
OF rooms is entirely different as far
as the furnishings and wall tints are
concerned. The rooms are arranged
singly and en- suite, some of the suites
consisting OF private hall. dining
room. drawing room. two bedrooms
and servants room, as well as a pri-
vate pantry.

PARIS STARTLED
At FREAK HOMES
WITHOUT HEAT
But Each Tenant Gets Garden,
Veranda, and Fresh Air in
Latest Structures.

An apartment house where every
apartment has its own wide vcranda
and little front lawn and garden, IL
30 desired, has been evolved by an
architect in Paris. Space in city
where housing is scarce and where
space means so much has been
sacrificed for the odd and picturesque
structure containing twenty-one
apartments, which rears itself seven
stories high Just few blocks from
the European headquarters OF the
American Red Cross.
Rising step-like a floor at a time,
the front OF the building gradually
recedes until II line were dropped
from the top TO the ground. the upper
front OF the building would be sitting
back some nifty feet from the side
walk base. There is no over-hang in
the rear OF the building. consequently
the rooms in each apartment grow
less as one ascends The first floor
apartment has ten rooms and the top
one has four.
With its blue and white tiles, its
vines dropping from the balconies.
this last work in apartment houses
presents a pretty front to the passers
by. and at the same time gives its
tenants plenty Of fresh air and sun
shine. With such wide verandas to
use in the summer months there Is
no necessity to seek cooling breezes
In the country.

which latter cases the chimney would

the house.
The second story contains three bed
rooms each provided with rood sized

two. The house can be built for from
$500 to $500. according to location and
finish.

and as Portland cement actually
grows harder and tougher with time,
so the asbestos single, far from
icing an experiment, is a well-known
material whose durability Is estab-
lished beyond all question and which
in addition offers the widest range OF
artistic roofing effects. Asbestos
shingles made in variety OF sizes,
shapes and colors. in two thicknesses
and with rough or smooth edges, can
be combined to obtain just the roof
ing effect desired to satisfy the per-
sonal ideas OF the owner and TO har-
monte with the architectural details

Aside from the artistic possibilitie.
OF asbestos shingles they offer the
home owner such positive protection
from roof-cummunicatedf fire and per-
manence and freedom from mainte
nance costs that he specifies them with
absolute confidence, unless by direct
preference he disires some other kind
OF shingles for his home. illustrated
catalogues can be had from any of the
manufacturers.
There is another type of asbestos
single which is particularly adapt
able to bungalows and similar mex
pcnsive structures. 1t Is radically
different from the asbestos single
just described. with the exception
that they both contain asbestos. This
type is similar in appearance to the
so-callcd asphalt shingles; in fact. II

that the former Is made with an as

asbestos felt, which. in addition, is

he would do when he came 10 HIM

missives underneath his hand. And
when he put out his hand at last TO

and slipped my own hand into his.

softly.
I have wondered ever since that
night why used the word dear"
alone at that moment instead OF pre-
fixing the word father" as ! usually

up wildly. and the next moment he
had crushed my hands in his. and

the REACTION came.
With a wild glance OF realization
my father sank back into his chair,
and with head bowed upon his
hands burst into the choking, heart

but once or twice in a lifetime.
And as l held him close, smoothed
his hair and brought him gradually
back TO calmness again there came TO
me the feeling that l was not alone
in my ministrations.
