Linton Apartments, Limited, a Company in which a large number of: prominent Montreal people are interested.The building has been designed and carried out under the supervision of Messrs.Finley & Spence, Architects, of this city, and their plans, especially as regards stability, were submitted and approved by H.J.Hardenberg, Architect, of New York, who has been connected with the erection of

twenty-five feet, giving ample space for a driveway, which will lead under a large bronze and glass porte-cochere.The Sherbrooke and Simpson Street facades of the building are of granite and terra cotta, ten stories high.The main entrance is from Sherbrooke Street, and leads into a spacious vestibule and entrance hall.Passing through the entrance hall, a wide corridor leads directly to the elevators.On the right hand side of this corridor is a large and lofty Lounging and Reception Room.The corner of Sherbrooke and Simpson Streets, on the ground floor, 1s occupied by the Cafe, which will accommodate over one hundred guests.It is the intention of the Company to make the Cafe as attractive as possible from every point of view; the room lends itself to a treatment of decoration which will be most effective; the walls, up to the ceiling, which is over twenty feet high, will be panelled and handsomely decorated.Adjoining the Cafe is a large private Banquet Room.The main entrance to the Cafe is from Sherbrooke Street, with another entrance from Simpson Street.The Simpson Street entrance is especially intended for the use of ladies.To the left of this entrance is a large Recep- IN EE EE NTN THE LINTON APARTMENTS.SO Crs tion Room, Ladies\u2019 Retiring Room, Lavatories, etc.On the ground floor, adjoining the main entrance, there has also been provided telephone switchboard, telephone booths, cloak rooms, etc., for the use of the tenants and patrons of the Cafe.The building has been designed with the aim of making it as fireproof and soundproof as is possible with modern construction.The building is constructed entirely of steel and incombustible Floor Plan.Owing to the sharp rise of the ground on Simpson Street, only the front half of the ground floor has been made use of for the Cafe, Lounging Room, etc., and two suites of apartments.The upper floors of the building consist of suites of apartments of from two to ten rooms, the large suites having two bathrooms.materials, the floors being twelve inches thick and fireproof.All partitions throughout the building are of brick, even those between rooms of same suite.The building is thus absolutely fireproof, and this construction precludes the possibility of noises penetrating from one apartment to another.This trouble has been found a source of great annoyance in many of the apartment houses in Montreal and elsewhere.The main entrance hall and corridor is wainscotted with marble to a height of ten feet, with mosaic floors.All the public corridors and halls throughout the building have mosaic floors and marble skirting.Hardwood floors are laid over concrete in the different suites throughout the building.The dining rooms have hardwood finish and beamed ceilings.The main staircase is of wrought iron and marble and entirely fireproof.The housekeeping suites are provided with kitchen and pantry, while a certain number are arranged without kitchen for those who do not wish to take their meals in their own apartments.There are no \u2018inside rooms,\u201d but every chamber has direct outside light, air and view.In the basement, provision has been made for bathrooms for the use of the servants throughout the building.Storage room for the tenants has also been provided for in the basement.À part of the top floor of the building has been divided into single bedrooms with bathrooms.These rooms are primarily at the disposal of tenants who may require at any time greater bedroom accommodation than is offered by their own apartments.There is a large billiard and smoking room, and also a ladies\u2019 tea room on the top floor, the privileges of which will be an am, pie éuss rs ces sii: $ Le ren | tr T0000 TTT LOUNGING ROOM.for the sole use of tenants and their guests.Appointments.The plumbing throughout the building is of the very best that can be procured, and all bathrooms throughout the building are supplied with high pressure hot and cold water.Apartments are furnished with electric light fixtures, Bell telephones, and gas stoves, cold storage refrigerator service, compressed air, vacuum cleaning apparatus, and all the conveniences which it is possible to procure for the tenants.No expense has been spared in the selection of these furnishings, and they are in keeping with the general surroundings of the building.There are two high-speed elevators, giving a service day and night.All suites, with the exception of bachelor suites, have electric dumb waiter service from basement for the delivery of goods and parcels.These will be delivered to janitor and will be sent up by him during the day.These electric lifts obviate the necessity of messengers and delivery men using the elevators and building generally.The management of the building is in the hands of The Ross Realty Co., Limited, which augurs well for its success.CAFE.IN THE THEATRICAL WORLD\u2014Miss Adele Rafter, with the Yorke and Adams Company at the Academy of
