So the Agent gave him a couple of pitying Looks and departed, meeting In the Doorway a pop-eyed Person with his Hat on the Back of his Head and a Roll of Blue Prints under his Arm.

DORIUON APARTMENTS, SHERMAN The Dorilton. APARTMENT HOUSE LATELY BOUGHT BY BUFFALO AND PROVIDENCE! CAPITALISTS.

Considerable Interest has been mani fested by Buffalo Investors and busi ness-men In the recent-sale, by' Freder Ick Burton Robins of this city, of Tbe Dorilton, one of the newest and hand somest apartment houses in New York, situs ted on Sherman square, street and Broadway. Mr. Robins, who of late has devoted a considerable portion of his time to New, York business, less than a month ago took up the matter of the purchase of The Dorilton and in teres ted with himself In the transaction the Honorable D. L. D.

Granger, mayor of Providence, R. I. Mr. Granger has for some" time been a client of Mr. Robins, who represents bis, large holdings In Buffalo, and Interested some wealthy Providence friends of his In the matter.

The Dorilton was sold to a stock company, of which Mr. Robins was offered and. accepted while Mayor Granger will act as The Dorilton ta a large building. though Its good proportions cause one to forget Its height It stands on an Irregular plot of ground, 110 by 150 feet and Its facades. In the fanciful and splendid styleof the modern French Re naissance, rise to a height of IS stories, crowned by dome-Ilk roofs.

It stands at the. corner of Sherman Bquar. and 71st street, within the bounds of the finest residence district of New York, at the radial point of three great arteries of metropolitan travel Amsterdam avenue, "1st street and Broadway. The site puts every method of local transit at command underground, surface, elevated and Central and Riverside parks are In close proximity. The Dpriltdn Is a fine specimen of the modern apartment house.

In the ex-ecution of the design' no expense or thought was spared to achieve the most artistic results, and no -comfort or luxury was omitted In the furnishing Of the Interior. The apartments are trimmed In mahogany, oak, bird's-eye maple and white enamel. The halls have paneled The ceilings of the dining-rooms are beamed, and have a high wooden wainscot carried around under the Dutch shelf moulding; they are finished In oak and mahogany, parlora are of mahogany and white Between, the main rooms, and between the conservatories and dining-rooms, are glass doors. Particular attention was paid to the selection of the mantels. A feature of the bathrooms Is a wainscot of French are of parquet.

At the top of the building are sun parlors, about $6 by 35 feet, and a root garden, reached by elevators. This hall affords a place of assembly for tenants who desire to entertain a large gatherinff of -fttendssAi phice 1 re sort by day, and a playground for chil dren, the place will appeal to many. As might be supposed from the- situation of the building, Its. windows gtre-a; pans oramlc view of Manhattan Island And Us environs. The building has Its' own beating, lighting, refrigerating and power plant This plant Is situated In an open-court, an arrangement that frees the building from noise and vibration.

A system of steam heating Is employed that assures perfect circulation and absence of hammering in the pipes. There are three electric elevators, two for the exclusive- ness of the tenants and the other one for delivery, freight and servant! These elevators are furnished with a special device to give easy, gradual stop and. start The attention which has been shown to the comfort of tenants la shown by the presence of a glass-lined refrigerator In each cooled and ventilated by approved methods: and by the presence of a long-distance telephone In each apartment and a telephone to the wtaih hall connecting with the janitor's offlee. Electricity from the private plant Is furnished free at all hours to tenants. tlMIWlvhlw A-- 1 SQUARE AND 7 1st NEW YORK.

'These details might be extended, but are sufficient to give an idea of the luxury of life in so handsome and modern a structure as The Dorilton. In' fact, no class of investment is today so much sought after by conservative Investors as the up-to-date apartment house In New York City. Mr. Robins has now under consideration proposals for the taking over -of three- other well-known properties of this class in New York, though they are not quite as large structures as The Dorilton. He finds Eastern and moneyed men of Buffalo recognize the value of the Investments In questlonrwhlch for liberal returns and assured Value are In favor with the keen, up-to-date capitalist, who wishes the largest returns on the safest Investment THE DICENTRA.

THE TIME TO WOO. A little While rose Jrt tne garden blew When the dew in the dawn lay bright; And over the grass came her lovers to woo, And faithful troth to plight But the rose bade the wind go sigh, go 13hie floated the tows the" butterfly; And the cricket he skipped without saying good-bye To the little white rose in the gar-" den. Bu siaukV the rwee: rosewhen the gloaming grew, She quaked In the iwlllght gray, When a moth flew out of a lime to L.BUe And won her without That bold night-moth that flew from the lime. He won the wee rose without reason or rhyme Because sly fellow! he knew just the time To woo a white roae In the garden. Samuel Mlnturn Peck In Smart Set HIS SECRET.
