It is some time since a ‘“spite house” has been built on a six-foot lot, but if plans just filed with the Building De- partment are carried out a plece of con- struction will soon be begun which, al- though not actuated by spite. will be unique among the buildin~ operations of the city. The new house of the New | York Ahtletic Club at Fifty-ninth street and Sixth avenue is to be bricked in -on one side. Adjoining the club- house on the east is the ten-story apartment house Dalhousle. The two buildings touch each other for a dis- tance of about thirty feet back from | the building line. From that point to the rear the wall of the apartment house is about ten feet further east, lelavlng a large open space for light and alr. 2 The wall of the clubhouse, on thé con- trary, runs straight back to the build- ing, covering the entire lot, -the archi- tects evidently thinking that the Dal+ housie’s court would furnish all the light and alr that the clubhouse needed. Plenty of windows were put in on every floor, and in reply to protests from the owners of the Dalhousie the club peo- ple gave the assurances that the win- dows would be of ground glass an: would always be kept closed. 7 There .was little complaint durfng the- winter months, but just as soon as the weather was warm enough up went the windaws ‘and the trouble began. Oppo- site the gixth and sevénth floors.of the Dalh ua{e are .the kitchen, wineroom and butler's. pantry, and .long after moet of the tenants of the apartmeént. house wanted to be asleep talk of ser- house next to the club announced their intention of getting out. The agent of the apartment, Duncan Buchanan, who represents the owner, Mrs. Barbara F. Schurman of Ithaca, remonstrated with the club:officlals, but seemingly without -effect, for last night a view from the Dalhousie showed every win- dow in the clubhouse wide open. Something had to be done, and after a consultation - in which William H. Burr, professor of civil engineering in Columbla University, was one of the participants, plans were prepared and have since been flled at the Building Department for. what is modestly termed a ‘“‘brick fenc# 62 feet 6 inches long.” - The ‘‘fence” turns out to be nothing else but a twelve-inch brick wall, which, unless some an.icable ar- rangement can be effected, will be bujit snug up against the easerly wall.of the New. York Athlétic Club house, and will run from the ground to the roof shut- ting up every window as far back as the rear of the apartment house lot.— NewAYorkr’fimes: 5 : COSTLY DROP CURTAIN.

Donizett{'s favorite M. work, MERMOOR." From Mrs. A. W. Syars, 59 Summer St., Biddeford, Me.: “For several years I suffered with various diseases peculiar to my sex. ‘Was troubled with a burning sensation across the small of my back, that all- gone feeling, was despondent, fretful and discouraged; the least exertion tired me. I tried several doctors but received little benefit. At last I de- cided to give your Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound a trial. The ef- fect of the first bottle was magical. Those symptoms of weakness that I was afflicted with, vanished like vapor before the sun. I cannot speak too highly of your valuable remedy. It is truly a boon to woman.” From Mrs. MELissA Prrries, Lex- ington, Ind., to Mrs. Pinkham: “Before I began taking your medicine I had suffered for two years with that tired feeling, headache, backache, noap- petite, and a run-down condition of the system. I could not walk across the room. I have taken four bottles of the Vegetable Compound, one box of Liver Pills and used one package of Sanative Wash, and now feel like a new woman, and am able to do my work.” THE FRAWLEY COMPANY!
