Pease & Elliman have been appointed agents for the new 14-
sty co-operative studio huilding recently completeci at 44 West
77th st, one of the handsomest buildings on the West Side, and
especially suited for artists wishing unobstructed light. It is
opposite the Museum of Natural History and Manhattan Square
Park.

At the stand of Bryan T.. Kennelly on Thursday last the
Allaire Hotel, a 3-sty structure located at the northwest corner
of Union and Ocean avs. Spring Lake, N. J., was knocked
down to Frank Stoors for $40,000. This building contains 103
rooms. The sale was by order of the executors of the estate of
E.   M.  Richardson.

Suit has been begun in the Supreme Court by the Emigrant
Industrial Savings Bank against Joseph E. Schnugg, Mary
Schnugg, and others to foreclose a mortgage of ?55,000 on the
property at the northeast corner of 3d av and IGStli st, 176x
337.1x irregular, extending through to Fulton av. The mort¬
gage was made on May 27, 1908.

Edward P. Clark, secretary of the City Investing Co., denies
the rumor that there are negotiations under way for the sale
of the southwest corner of Broadway and Dey st by that com¬
pany. The report current was that the Broadway Terminal Co.
was the intending purchaser and contemplated the erection of
a 20-sty structure on tho site.

Joseph P. Day conducted on Saturday, Aug. 21, an auction
sale of lots in the Armour Villa Park tract at Bronxville, West¬
chester County. It comprised 100 lots located on Eronxville
road, Wiltshire and Wallace sts and W^illett pl. The entire
offering was disposed of for about $25,000. The more desirable
parts of the proijerty, along Bronxville road, brought about
$500 a lot. Among the side streets the prices ranged from $210
to $400 a lot. Among the buyers w^ere Edward Hassett, T.
Driscoll, J. M. Carroll. M. A. Broderick, Frank O. Burnett and
Pompeo Chippa,

Negotiations are said to be well advanced for the sale of Glen
Island by the estate of John H. Starin to a syndicate headed
by Max Marx, Glen Island was developed by the late Mr,
Starin into one of the best known day resorts around New York,
It was opened about. ISSO and was operated during the summer
months up to about four years ago, when it was closed and
placed on the market for aale. Although known as a single
island, the property really consists of five small islands con¬
nected by bridges. Mr. Starin spent a large sum in beautifying
the place. The islands arc a few hundred feet out in the
sound, near the southerly boundary of New Rochelle, and not
far from the New York Athletic Club's summer home at
Travers Island, If the negotiations with Mr. Marx have a suc~
eessfu! outcome, it is said that the new owners Intend to 'sub¬
divide the property Into  villa sites-





BATHROOM CONVENIENCES.

If you are an ower of improved real estate containing old-
fashioned plumhing and an antiquated bathroom, then you
douhtless have experienced no end of trouhle in finding the
right purchaser for your holding. Too much importance these
days cannot be placed upon the necessity of equipping the bath¬
room of a private dwelling with sanitary and modern plumbing,
as well as practical and up-to-date fittings. Nearly everybody
delights in a dainty bathroom, and even the calculating and
experienced buyer of dwelling property ia not altogether im¬
mune from the seductive influence of tempting porcelain ware
and bright nickel trimmings that form tho principal constitu¬
ents of the ideal bathroom.

Among the new novelties and improvements is a device that
will receive collar buttons, studs, tie and collar w-hich can be
attached to the wall for convenience. It has several arms, the
center one straight and those on the outside curved, resembling
somewhat a lyre when laid flat. At the base of the lyre is a
small open box on which to place studs. The tie hangs over the
straight bar and the collar or cuffs suspend from tho curved
bars,  forming a convenient hanger.

Another article of merit is a receptacle for sheet toilet paper
made of highly polished sheet metal. Then there is an attach¬
ment for the tooth brush, the holder itself being funnel shaped
and flat, with a little lid on top, and the bottom or point is a
catch which takes the tooth brush, holding it more securely
than can be done by hand, so that powder cannot possibly be
spilled when the revolving liandle releases the particles.

Still another improvement worth noting is the perfected bath
mat. If it will be remembered, the average batli mat, as most
of us know, must be tread upon exactly in the center w-hen
either entering or leaving the tub. The new mat Is provided
with stra;jped hooks near either end which rest on the sides of
the tub in much the same manner as the regulation bath seat,
except that the mat rests upon the bottom of the bath tub, and
in this position it is quite impossible for the mat to slip. The
improved mat will be appreciated by persons whose weight ex¬
ceeds the normal standard.
