Within a year the new Henshaw hotel will be doubled in size according to the original plans, the lots east of the new. bullding being secured to the west line of the Barker block. . The enlargement has been planned since the beginning of the work on_the new bullding and it was erected with the idea of erecting east of the new buflding another part practically | the same size, leaving a court between the | bulldings which will make every room out- side As at present.

D. Wead, has gone into tho real estate business for himself and opencd an office. Mr. (Hazen has some desirable property of dde Investors which he will handle along with his regular business. He plans to deal in both city and farm property. Mr. Wegd has not announced Mr. Hazen's suc- cesfpr in his office as yet. Aftention has again been attracted to Raiston, the townsite opened last year by Shimer & Chase, by the selling of business and city lots at prices many times what wi paild for them a year ago. Those whq had confidence that the suburb of Omfha would some day be & busy indus- tria] center and invested are getting thelr money out many times over, When the townsite was first opened a lot was sold for $150 and three shares of stock in the townsite company went with each lot— the stockholders were all land owners. One lot was sold this week for $900, which was secured with three shares of stock a year ag0. Almost every lot has doubled in price, and those which have sold have passed into the hands of new owners without the stock. The latest addition: to the suburh is the Gordon End Gate company, which will erect & good sized factory. George B. Darr, who sold the old Car- penter Paper company warehouse at Twelfth and Howanrd streets to Frank Burkley for $100,00, through the agency of Latham Davis, wiil not withdraw his money from the Omaha Investments. Mr. Darr bought the warehouse property less than three weeks ago for $100,000 cash and trade. When an opportunity to sell was offered, he made the deal. As 350,000 of the prop- erty traded for the warehouse property was western land, the 30,00 now comes to Omaha for Investment. Mr. Darr has se- cured several small pleces of property for investment since the warehouse deal, among them the old Cudahy home. s Lee of Broken Bow bought store bulldings in Florence located Main street, north pf the bank, from Henry Haubens for $6.260 through J. H. | Dumont & Son. Mr. Lee bought the prop- erty for Investment, both because it is paying good Interest and will doubtless in- crease /In value because of the steady boom in Florence property.

The firm also had twenty-five to thirty offices scattered throughout the cpuntry. The labilities were sald to be in the neighborhood of $250,000. According to J. T. Murphy, manager of the Chicago office, the firm had been doing a good business here, but the trouble, he said, grew out pf the stock business in the east. He stated that Mr. Dickinson, who is now in New York, had wired him that the suspension was only temperary and that it was expected the firm would be doing business again in a month. Mrs. Ellison Gets Divorce Order Carries with it a Severe Roast by the Judge of the “Captain.” Mrs. Olive Ellison was awarded a decree of absolute divorce from her nusband by Judge Redick Saturday morning and the court order rapped the defendant severely. “Mrs. Ellison testifies,” said the court, “that the defendant called her a vile name, language inexcusable in the case of a man of mature years and to a woman of the evident refinement of this plaintiff.” Judge Redick then reviewed Bilison's own testimony on the point; ‘“‘Defendant denied using this language, but when pressed admitted that once on an occasion when Mrs. Ellison was unavoidably kept in Omaha over night and could not return to the farm, he sald that a woman who re- mained away from her husband over night was no better than a dissolute woman. “The defendant's testimony was im- peached in another way. A reputable wit- ness swore here that the dependant's repu- tation for truth and veracity was bad in this community and that he would not be- lieve him under oath. I shall give a de- | cree on the ground of crueity." |OVER FORTY THOUSAND Now | Fund for Child Saving Institute Con- tinues Steadily to Creep To- ward the G The Child Saving Institute fund is mov- ing forward steadily the directors of the Institution are quite encouraged at the progress made.

Drawing Up Plans for the Cottage It is surprising how many plans can be made for one exterior design and, on the | other hand, how many different exterior | designs can be made for one plan. The location of windows is, of course, the same. | An architect frequently has a client come to him with @ plan of some home which fills his requirements, but wants an en- tirely different design for the exterlor. This is not a difficult thing to do provided that the new design is to be the same in | general form as the one for which the plans were originally made. For example, a gambrel-roofed home would have (o be entirely replanned to make a full two-story | square house out of it. And the same is true of the plans for a full tw if it is desired to adapt the plans bungalow or cottage. Sometimes a home builder will prefer a certain arrangement of rooms as seen in the home of some friend, but the location of his lot would require that the plan be reversed. This can always be done. The living room and dining room should always be on the south or east side. This would mean that the to a Arthur O. ‘fl-mll-. Architect.

Planning a cottage is not as simple as many are lead believe. 1In the first place the average builder of a small home usually requires more space or has fas- tidious tastes than his purse will allow. The architect is expected to get just what a man wants within the amount he has to spend. This cannot al ye be done Since the price of a cottage always estab- lishes its size, It Is best to plan as simple an arrangement as possible. This means the combining of the sitting room and the parlor into large living room, which sometimes also includes the stalrway. The rooms in a cottage of moderate price need not be small if they are regular in shape and there are not too many of them. Be- || cause a home Is small is no reason why it should not be homelike, convenient, warm and well built. These essential features of a model home cost no more than to have | them otherwise. It is simply a matter | o fhaving the home properly and symmet- rically planned in the first place.
