Facing the mam entrance on

waiting -mu and train concourse
where i w traveler Takes the lqcal

and northwest.
In the main waiting room on
' must pause
the track level, you
and look around even though the*
ushei uni the train max. ? on his
: balconv are calling }W train. If
you have a long wait between
trains you will not be sorry, for
e highbacked seats are as com-
r table as the Morris chair at
[me and the big waiting room is
worth your leisurely observation,
If you have onlv a moment the
cursory you" glance is worth while
that may carry with you a
picturejof unusual beauty.
It ready is not a waiting room
at all except in the use to which it
is put. It is a gteat Roman
uni with barrel vault roof an
pilasters and walls of dull finished
Tennessee marble of a faint blush
rose. The columns standing alone
are of Greek Cippolino marble in
pastel green. The metal work
framing the glass between the
pilasters is of greenish bronze.
As a reminder of the great busi¬
that has made a twenty-three
million dollar station possible, the
decorations in the ribbed terra
cotta vault overhead are done in
drive wheels, engine bells, wrench¬
es, headlights and hammers. The
wonder of the ceiling is that it is
self-supporting in all its length
and breadth; it is absolutely inde¬
pendent of pillar or support and is
the only one of its kind in the
United States.
The room is lighted with clus¬
ters of incandescent® on richly
decorated bronze standards and in

east side of the main waiting room
are • tin; news stand and parcvi
windows, barber shop, smoking
room.and various travel comforts
for men. On the fl«or above an
more secluded rest, lounging and
emergency rooms, a matron, a
trained nurse and every facility
for caring for the sick. There is
even a little brass bed for the lost
baby the conductor may bring in
off the train. There are bath
rooms, lavatories, and everywhere
in the building the sanitary bubble
drinking cups. On the floor with
the rest rooms, a part of the gen¬
eral scheme of restfulness, is a tea
room with tiled frieze of land-

The t,led floor
is of green.
In front of the tea room and
rest room is a balcony with wide
stone balustrade from which is an
equisite view of the vaulted spaces,
softened lights and delicately
blended rose and green coloring
the Roman atrium where
gers wait.
This balcony also leads to rest
lounging rooms for men and
baths and barber shop. The
desiring to be refreshed
from a long overland journey or a
tedious day in the city, can have
himself as well groomed as though
he were in his own home, while
his wife is being made as beautiful
as though she had just emerged
from her own dainty boudoir.
With it all, the conveniences
and luxuries with which to invite

:
ranged quarters, laundry tubs,
drying racks, tub and show
baths, have been provided.
The emigrant rooms have con-
crete "floors and tikd walls
may be kept clean and sanitary
w ' ->ut difficulty. There are also
lavatories, and a icuicb room.
The entire building; has a system
of ventilation m which the air is
washed and cooled and changed
every twenty -minutes.
It fe not only the tourist, the
traveler of many days and miles
and the emigrant who and comfort,
convenience arid peace within the
walls of the new North Western
Terminal, but the suburbanite as
well finds here an undreamed-of
paradise. If be is to join his wife
in the evening for a box party or
other formal function, be can check
his dress clothes when he comes
in in the morning, return to the
station, and, before his wife’s train
is duo, have a bath, a shave and a
manicure, then dine with her and
take a motor ■ car, all under the
roof of the Terminal. On his way
home he may pick up his suit case
with his business clothes. It is
more convenient than his club.
Also there ar~e eight suburban
exits for the commuter whose
business lies north of Madison
street, by which he may avoid
going through the main entrance
and two or three blocks out of bis
way.
On the Clinton Street side, a
little north of the main entrance,
is a private carriage way and ele¬
vator entrance which gives seclu¬
sion for funeral parties.
A feature of the new station is
the complete post office—sub-sta¬
tion U they call it—where there is
a regular postoffice delivery and
facilities for street railway post-
office service. In the trainshed
are mail conveyors which carry
mail to the post office below.

the stoping place for a few hours
