QUITE A CHANGE. "Coil vp voter rupee and anchor hero TiU bettor weather doth appear." IN THE early settlements of New England the tavern or inn was second only in im portance to the meeting house. Their rela tionship, too, strange as it may seem, waa peculiarly intimate--the tavern was usually located near the meeting house, and this, in some communities, was the condition under which the license was granted. The records say that in 1651 John Vyall, of Boston, was granted "Libertie to keep a house ofcommon entertainment if the Countie Court consent, provided he keep it near the new meeting house." Nor was this condition eonfined to New England, for about this same time "Jean Boisdon, innkeeper, was required to a N16814 establish himself on the great square of Quebec, dose to the church." There were many good reasons for thus locating the taverns. There were lecture days, fast days, Sundays and other occasions when the people gathered from miles around to attend these services. There was the long prayer or sermon in the morning, the noon rest for refreshment, then the afternoon prayer and sermon, after which thq towns people departed on their journey homeward. In many towns during this nooning the tavern became the resortof the worshippers. In the cold winter months the comfortable warmth of the tavern fire and such other attractions as the tavern only could supply, were both' appreciated and enjoyed. There were no fires in the meeting houses. Then came the days ofthe gradual pulling away of the tavern from the meeting house. The views oftheelders did not meet those set forth by the innkeepers. The latter sought the Sunday trade in beverages. They were warred upon by the church people, but to this day have held their own, .and we are glad to say that in spite of this failure t6 conform absolutely to the principles of the meeting houses, the hostelries of the land have main tained a dignity and character which can be easily detected in the views set forth in this SPECTRUM. These hotels are the result of decades of advancement in architecture. 66 'TT THE Hotel Bentley, Alexandria, La., is designed, in the prevailing modern French Renaissance. Our views show the interior and will serve to give the architect some idea of its arrangement and elegance. The lobby is decorated most attractively in designs representative of the "Lobby of States."

The seals of seven states are re produced in a landscape effect. The orna mentations in the great rotunda are archi tectural--every ornament is a continuation of the architect's plans. They are shaded, highlighted and mottled so perfectly that it is hard to discern where paintingB begin and where plaster ornaments end. Thelarge dome isdivided into eightpanels, and the twelvearched ceiling panelssurround ing the dome are richly ornamented with con tinuous scrolls. The fifteen ceiling panels on the balcony floor are carried out in the same color scheme. and ornamentation as the ceilingsbeneath the foyer. Orange is the key shade and tones off into tan, which again is relieved by the use of olive shades. The entire scheme is perfectly executed and the effect is one color of yel lowish tan in its richest shades. The dining-room is treated in Ivory and Green, the walla being of Sienna) giving a highly chromatic orange-yellow shade. The side wall panel work decoration is in keeping with the ceiling, which consists of an artistic arrangementofonehundred and eight panels. The building was erected bythe Hull Con struction Co., of Jackson, Miss. The architect was Mr. Geo. R. Mann, of Little Rock, Ark. Sherurin-WilHams Products were used throughout for decorative purposes. 0007-SWP-00010234^ WHYTE'S new quarter-of-a-million-dollar restaurant on Fulton Street, New York City, is of rather unusual architecture. It has a seating: capacity of one thousand persons, which is tested twice daily. The handsome building shown on the opposite page is three.stories high, with a facade of ornamental Gothic design. Edward E. White, the proprietor, is a well-known club man. Clinton & Russell, New York, were the architects. Wm. Deeves & Son, New York, were the contractors, and Peter McKay, New York, waB the decorator.

S-W Flat-tone and Velvet Finish were also used, and Mr. `Thos. Stewart, who ap plied these products, sava: "After having tried your Flat-tone against my will, I will ` have .to admit that it is the best flat finish I have ever used." The architect for this hotel was Mr. W. L. Stoddart, of New York City. n A CUE FOR BILLIARD BOOM DECORA TION. iHE architect is very often asked to plan sot only the billiard room D itself, but also to suggest suitable decoration for same. But very little has been said or written 1 about this important phase of decoration, `the result has been that very often, rather unattractive billiard rooms have been located in otherwise! tastefully decorated homes, to mar the general appear ance of the decorative scheme. While the color scheme shown in our insert on the following page might not be suitable under every condition and circumstance, still the combination is such that it will be found very generally adapted to moatbilliard rooms. Of course, where there is a billiard room in a home, that home is generally a little above the average, and the room should he decorated consistently, and yet with economy taken into-consideration. With all these things in mind, our decorators planned this scheme. A billiard room, done in this color scheme will be found most restful to the eye, very adaptable to lighting effects by day and night, and sanitary. The walls can he washed with soap and water nnd will retain their strength of color, for Flat-tone is a durable oil paint.

And he also manages to build up a name for him self whSrever there is a Santa Fe train or a hotel. The latter phase of this marvelous system concerns us most of all just now, as one of these hotels.The Bisonte, at Hutchison, Kansas, isreproduced on the followingpage. This unique hotel has sixty-seven guest rooms, all neat and light. The Fred Harvey eating service accommodates one hundred and twenty in the comfortable dining-room, which is shown on page 76. There is an atmosphere of sociability pervading the Harvey hotels which is most magnetic. In The Bisonte there is no exception. The architecture of this hotel is of the Elizabethan period. The construction re V sembles an old English manor house, with tiled roof and wooden rafters. - "Bisonte" is the Spanish word for "Buffalo," and it is a well known fact, that this country in the neighborhood of Hutchison was covered with roaming herds of buffalo not so many years 7S 'T-Ttr 0007-SWP Saefion oj JSKtranc* HmU, Bitonte. aero. The Santa Fe has been a great factor in bringing the Southwest to its own and in helping to populate with thrifty, honest citizens the towns through which it pioneered its way. The town of Hutchison is famous for its salt industries. Great deposits of rock salt underlie the whole town and section. The city lies at an altitude of 1,541 feet and its population of 12,000 numbers many of the most prosperous and energetic of the in habitants of the wealthy agricultural district of which Hutchison is the center. And so ?3 0007-SWP-0001023^ The Bisonte has taken an important place in earing for the visitors and travelers who are glad to cast their lot with such an excellently managed system. . The prosperity of the dis trict brings many guests to its doors. Travelers from every nook and cranny of the world pass through "Santa Fe" towns where Fred Harvey's system is in vogue and they invariably leave reluctantly. The ex teriors of these hotels are not only architec turally attractive, but theinteriordecorations are always in the best of taste and are ex ecuted with a view toward home-likeness. The architect of TheBiBontewas Mr. Louis Curtis, of Kansas City, Mo., who has specified S-W Produets on many well-known opera tions in the Southwest. Throughout The Bisonte S00 gallohs of S-W Excello Varnish, 50 gallons of S-W Mar-not and 75 gallons of S-W Handcraft Stain were used.

There is another hotel, The Pfister, which has recently been erected in that city and which is very in terestingly built and decorated. The lobby is done in Italian marble, with a row of large pillars running through the center. The decorations of walls and celling are quiteelaboratehigher up, and the designs were carried out with S~W materials. S-W Vintfil.

Whenever you see-a nice, soft, velvety fat oil paint you can rest assured it's 5- W Mat-tone. And if there's a nice stencil design over the wall, you can be pretty sure it's done in S- W Glaze Colore, the real artistic glaze. And if you architects are stoppin' at these hotels and notice that there is no Flat-tone on the wall, just think of how you dislike its absence, and specify Flat-tone on the next hotel you design when you get home. 1 know I always like to stop at hotels where the walls and ceilings are fresh and sanitary, and I insist that Flat-tone shall be used before I will consent to affix my name to any hotel register whatsoever. so 0007-SWP-000102352 WeS/imfo$Ull(m'eo. eurauttD ewuao mv w v o u w mo w t h ia c iMmuitiHo DOCTON IWNSMCItV NKWARR 1MMM1U JMIMNBAPOU& CINCINNATI TMONTD WINNING NNOAOKlLMHA HWVAWD MI.
