CITIES UNDER A SINGLE ROOF Comforts and Necessaries to Be Had in the Big Office Buildings of New York. BA SEY Tenants of the newer office build: ings in New York City have com forts and conveniences under thelr roofs that in a smaller place it would be necessary to go over the ensire town to get, says the New York Sun, Everything virtually but sleeping quarters is provided, even to gymna- wiums and musical entertainments. The latter may be enjoyed from the top of some lofty structure while the patron is eating an excellent meal and gazing over the picturesque har bor of the second greatest city In the world. A business man needn't be annoyed if late Im the afternoon he hears from friends visiting the city and finds it necessary to entertain them on short notice. Of course, he is not dressed for the occasion, but that is a matter easily attended to. First of all, he steps into the ele. vator and descends to the ticket of- fice in the building and secures tlc kets for a theatre. Then he steps into the tailor shop, If he hasn't taken the precaution to leave of the he is able to lockers there he some his waits, after~dark wearing apparel linen is a trifle soiled it takes dasher'sg the place it.

They have come by the elevatad railroad which has a special entrance into the buflding, and they will leave lat. through a tunnel from the bottom of the elevator shaft into a nearby subway station. But before they start tre several hours may be comfort. ably spent at dinner in the buildiuz mado more enjoyable by a good or chastra T™ ere little er for the thea offic buildings downtown where, if a tenant knows just whom to speak to, he may get sleoping quarters over night with the caret family. For in nearly all of the larger office bulidings the taker or custodian along with his family has quarters in the place In most cases this is on the roof Not long ago a lawyer downlewn, preparing an urgent case for cout, found that it would be recessary for hi to werk the better part of the night He Hved Jersey, making it out of the question for him to ro home: also he wag far from a hotel and didn’t care about 1g the val uable time during which he ght be sleeping. “It fix you with a wink.

One of the largs Broadway bulldngs sheltering a theatre also boasts the fcllowing luxuries that tenants there may have under cne roof: a physical culture school, a fencing academy, tailor, dyer and cleanser massaze establishment, biillard and pool rooms, bowling alleys, restauran', saloon, shoe shining stand, several are ers One pl m in in t yein m up,” said the janitor he contrrtable style afterward on fact bed was of timepiece may be looked after), grani und ead'e office, ber shop, dentist, doctor, and for the comfort of the women a hairdressers and a millinery establishment, Several buildings which are used largely by lawyers and engineers con. tain splendidly equipped libraries while In others, in the financial dis: trict, there are branches of banks, or the main establishment, so that customers who have large deposits to make regularly are assured of in- creaped safety by moving into these quarters, Ota of the new bulldings not far 5 from the automobile belt up in Forties has added a well appointed garage. This is a feature that fs hound to come to many other build ings. follows another. It is beyond poss! bility that the time is not far hence when a man may sleep, carry on hig vocation, and live in the same build ing.
