Her husband be- longs to the well known family -of Sturgls in Minneso! : In no American city does the old order change so suddenly and fre- quently as in Chicago. Fifty yea ago the West Side was the fashion- able residential section, and such rep- resentative families as the Harrisons, Walker, Medills, Honores, Pinkergons, Kerfoots and Glessners built homes which were the last word in architec- tural elegance. In the seventies and eighties the tide set toward the inner city, with Calumet and Michigan ave- nues as the boundaries, and more stately mansions were erected by a later ‘order of prosperous citizens— George M. Pullman, Marshal Field Fernando Jones, Arthur Caton and W. W. Kimball. These houses were long ago abandoned, and the group of men known {n Chicago annals as the “em- pire builders” are all to be found now on the west edge of the Lake Shore drive, and the mansions in this sec tion rank among the splendid dom ciles of the world. Franklin Mac- Veagh was a ploneer in this part, and he was soon followed by Potter Palm- er, Robert T. Lincoln, Victor Lawson and Richard T. Crane. T, part of Chicago is losing its vogue. and the ownets of thesw vast car: vansaries are' either removing other cities, taking over country e tates or building smaller and more compact homes further in the cit The era of the big house is passing in this land as it has in England and on the European continent. Only kings can now afford to reside in the hundred-chambered house. Even the multi-millionaire is compelled to seek simpler quarters and to reduce to the minimum the serving safl on his pay roll. He can any price for Q00d service, hut he cannot obtain 8ood service at any figure at all, so Koes the story from Chicago, as from every part of the world.
