With the opening of the public schools this week, and the return of New Trier High school students to their studies next-.Monday, the flood of mail threatens to completely submerge the Contest Editor, but he doesn't seem a bit worried. Big Task For Judges "Boy. we're going to get a splendid namV he beams. "Can't help it, be- cause the suggestions are simply cap^- ital.

CASTLE ON NORTH SHORE Garden of Allah is a Dream of Magnificence ' Add to the^north shore's pleasing var- iety of archrtectur£ ^magnificent Moor- ish castle, very appropriately entitled "The Garden of Allah". This amazingly beautiful structure in its setting of virgin forest at Lake ave- nue and Waukegan r&ad received many cynica city folk--people constantly in search of thrills and usually disappointed--who were utterly astounded at the majesty and oriental splendor of this fairy castle transplanted into the reality of Chicago's north shore. The Garden of Allah beggars descrip- tion. It' is not only magnificent, it is luxurious. In its every detail the Moor- ish "scheme of architecture and appoint- ment is implanted with studied care. One enters through a richly carpeted reception room upon the imposing spec- tacle of the main dining hall, also expen- sively carpeted, its walls done in splen- did colorings and striking stencils of Moorish scenes; At the near end of the long aisles of tables is a cozy fire- place with the accompanying thickly cushioned lounges and divans arranged with a suggestion of complete comfort. A glance down the rows of tables and beyond rewards one with a view of the palm-screened and elegantly draped or- chestra rostrum. Approaching, one finds the rostrum is placed in the center of a great circular dance floor half of which extends in the dining hall, the other hajf out upon the great open veranda which describes a perfect horseshoe about the hall; and entry to which is gained through numberless portals which, in the aggre- gate, comprise a continuous wall of richly shaded "glass doors. At the extreme east end of the build- ing, completely shut out from view of the dining hall, are the large kitchens- models of the modern culinary art. The kitchens alone entail an expenditure of many thousands of dollars, one is in- formed. On the upper floors are private din- ing and banquet halls done in a quiet, dignified tone with emphasis on the Moor- ish effect. Here, also, are hidden away the servants' quarters. The Garden of Allah represents a cost ^-approximately $200,000. It is certain to be one of the show places of the-4niddle west. a Battery, two headlights and other accessories.
