Here you will find gifts as unique and interest- ing at prices no higher and oftener lower than those downtown. RN [HEPAINTEDBUTTERFLY ART STUDIO I054GAGE STREET WINNETKA 1207 HUBBARD WOODS Scarfs and Shawls Mausoleum Recalls the Glory of Ancient Greece The acacia mausoleum on Irving Park boulevard, which is regarded as one of the finest examples of monu- mental architecture in the country, is nearing completion. It is set in a park which is reminiscent of the golden age of Athens. A pool which is an exact restoration of a classical garden pool will stand before the mausoleum en- trance. It will be built of lacqered Georgia marble, and will contain a graceful fountain, illuminated at night. The mausoleum is typically Doric in architecture and is made of Georgia marble, wax finished, except for the pilasters which are polished. Since the mausoleum and the park are for the exclusive use of Masons and their fam- ilies, Masonic symbolism is exemplified in the broad flight of steps leading to the entrance and in other architectural features of the structure. WINNETKA BUILDING NEWS Vol. 1 Winnetka, 111. 37 Christy Brown has under construction an unusually attrac- tive stucco on tile residence for Mr. James Rawleigh of 592 Cherry Street. Steel joists and sheet work will make this home absolutely fire proof. All material will be furnished by us. We know now what we want for Christmas-- a nice 1927 auto license. Most any man will lose his religion and cuss and swear when his furnace puffs in his face. We know because we've heard 'em. But when you burn Solvay Coke you can maintain a nice sweet even dis- position all the time. We know a man who doesn't get his whiskers shaved off evenly and he leaves little black patches on the sides of his neck. The William Sal- men Co. is building to sell a six-room English style resi- dence on 17th street south of Wilmette avenue. This home will be thoroughly insulated with Bal- sam Wave and should prove very popular. The other day we spoke to a friend of ours and he seemed cold and distant. Then we discovered the trouble. He had a boil on his neck. The most sensible preparation for win- ter we can think of is storm doors and windows; we have just received a sup- ply of each which we think will be hard to beat and the price is right too. Ever hear about the colored minister who announced that "on account o' Mon- day comin' on Tues- day nex' Wednesday, de regular meeting' of de Friday Night Club has been postponed fum Saturday to Sunday night!"
