Another item of furnishing that will appeal especially to the lady Kuests, are the full-length mirrors that panel a door in every room.

A Suite

_Thel_'e is one apartment suite that calls for special mention; besides the regular bedroom, furnished like the other rooms, this suite has a large living room, a butlei-‘s pantry, and a shower. The living room, with win- dows facing on Kent and Pownal Streets, is the exempllilcatlon of lllXllfy 811d 800d taste. The center table ls both useful and lovely: be- ginning as a cheater-ﬁeld table it may be changed, by a few touches. into a dining table; the occupants of this apartment are thus enabled to eat in privacy.

In one corner of this room isa down-ﬁlled chcsterﬂeld, in the other an exceptionally beautiful ivrltlng desk. The hangings, of a heavy coarsc-ivovcn silk, are dccp rose; tllE‘ pictures are a delight in themselves: some of them carry thc artist's sig» nature to proclaim their value.

Laundry and l-lea in;

The laundry is equipped with all the latest appliances for washing, drying and ironing clothes in the best way and in shortest space of time. It is a large airy room and, one UUp,'}O£~25, a rbasant place to work.
