men. The carpets throughout are
OF rose taupe with a thick pile.
Half OF the rooms are furnished
with twin beds.
The pictures which are hung in
the guest rooms remove the last
yestise of the usual impersonal no.
tel atmosphere. Original wood
block prints by such artists as Gus
taVe Baumann of Santa Fe and
Hall Thorp of English fame, are
used. There are also excellent re-
productions of famous oil and wa
ter paintings, including the pop
ular ones of Maxfield Parrish.
These are tastefully hung with an
eye to developing the color scheme
OF the room, brilliant little flower
prints standing out in many in
stances like a real bouquet.
Most Striking Room.
Perhaps the most striking room
in the house is at the corner of
Central avenue and the railroad
tracks. 1t is papered in a large
all-over pattern of golden brown
and green. 1t has draw curtains
of striped cloth in black. and red,
Against this background is an arm
chair upholstered in orange Ital-
ian sail cloth. Near the chair is
a brass bridge lamp with mica
shade. 1t is a daring combination
successfully achieved.
Another effective room has
pale yellow figure on a cream
ground with plain yellow figures.
Two pictures topped with a vivid
valance of black with yellow fig
ures. Two pictures in this room
harmonige wonderfully with the
yellow tone. A room hung in a
gorgeous red tulip curtains has
chairs upholstered III the same ma
terial. There are rose papered
rooms with the same design more
intense in the draperies, combina-
lions of rose and blue, purple and
gold. black and red, and other
vivid colors.
The Commercial Floor.
The first floor of the annex Is
called the commercial floor. There
are show rooms or travelling men,
business offices for the hotel en-
ployees, an immaculate barber
shop and manicure parlors in white
furnishings. The corner room now
used for temporary lobby will be
reserved as a club room and audi
torium. 1t has cream walls with
faded Spanish woodwork n d
wrought iron trim.
The main lobby now under con-
struction will be handsomely fur
nished with reproductions of old
Spanish pieces. 1t will be floored
with Spanish red tile and trim
ned in black wrought iron. The
room will be colorful but the dec
orative' effect will be architectural
rather than applied. A great fire
place in the east end will be sur
rounded by comfortable chairs. The
lounge is raised above the level
of the lobby floor.
The planting Of the east. and
west courts of the annex will be
done by Paul Theme, one of the
foremost landscape artists in the
the designer of the
grounds of the San Diego exposi-
ton. A pool in the east court Will
be planted about with lawn trees,
vines and shrubbery. The north
courts will be planted with lawn
and vines which will climb over
the wall on the street.

Miss Golfer is given carte |

known to be an economic pur-

careful buys of standard articles.
