  The

  of 
  rooms, 
  

   with

  on 
  either 
  side. 
  The 
  

   color 
  effects 
  of 
  the 
  interior 
  

   have 
  been 
  carefully 
  studied 
  

   with 
  a 
  view 
  of 
  making 
  the 
  

   rooms 
  appear 
  as 
  large 
  and 
  

   light 
  and 
  attractive 
  as 
  pos- 
  

   sible. 
  The 
  hall,

  to 
  the 
  Terrace 
  at 
  the 
  Side 
  of 
  the
