The Carlton Hotel.
rose , the latter colour , in graduated tones , being used in tha carpet , upholstery , and tha shades of the table lights . The artistic reason for this comparative severity of treatment is that the apartment shall be a " cadre " for the toilettes of tho ladies , which in many rooms lose the greater part of their brilliancy by tho conflicting colours of an obtrusive background . At the Carlton Hotel the best effects of tho costumes will be brought out by the
cream " note " of the decorations . Tho combined effect of the delicate white , the warm rose , the green of thc foliage , and the blue of the " moonlight " device is most charming . With the masterpieces of Escoffier ' s art to appeal to the visitors' tastes , and the strains of a skilled orchestra to gratify them with sweet sounds , this artistic " salle " a manger will no doubt be largely patronised by the best people in society .
There are also dining rooms in the Charles II . style , intended more particularly for the table d'hote dinners , while the comfort of the ladies is provided for in a dainty reading room decorated in white , and of the men in a charming smoke room with a cross-beamed ceiling and a fine ingle fireplace in brown oak . The grill room , in the basement , is in the Jacobean style , and is treated in white , with very pleasing electric light effects .
The private suites of apartments are mostly in the styles of Louis XVI ., Sheraton , Chippendale , or Adams , and the bedrooms are similarly furnished . For hygienic reasons there are no curtains or draperies to the beds , and the greater part of the walls , instead of being papered , are painted ; thus ensuring tho most perfect cleanliness , and complete freedom from unhealthy conditions . Throughout the building , hangings are for the same reason dispensed with as much as possible . A feature of the Hotel is the superiority of the bath
accommodation ; in fact , everything connected with hygiene and sanitation is as perfect as science can make it . The drainage has been subjected to the tests of the most exacting official experts , and has been pronounced by them "the best work they have ever seen . " The arrangements for the ventilation and heating also embody the latest work in this department of
domestic engineering . In the hottest weather the apartments will be kept cool with an inflow of fresh air that has passed through ice chambers ; in the coldest weather they will be kept warm with air that has been raised to an agreeable temperature without losing its freshness ; and so perfect is the ventilation that on the foggiest day the atmosphere of the Carlton will , it is believed , be clear and pleasant .
The Directors lay stress upon these details , which mean so much for the comfort of their guests . They may also point to the telephonic arrangements , which are very complete ; every bedroom having a stand placing the occupant in direct communication with all the hotel offices as well as with the Central Exchange . An important feature is the use throughout the building of Danville asbestio plaster—a fireproof material which forms the substance of the modelled relief ornament , encases the iron girders , and
generally protects the wood and iron work from the action of flame . It is safe , therefore , to assert that the Carlton is to all intents and purposes a fireproof building . The precautionary measures against fire have beon taken under the superintendence of the well-known expert , Mr . E . O . Sachs . In the three important points of situation , decoration , and management the Carlton possesses every condition to make it the most fashionable resort in London , and , as we hinted at the outset , it is likely to become so at no distant date .
One of the features of the magnificent Hotel is the exceptionally fine service of plate , which has been specially designed and manufactured by the Goldsmiths and Silversmiths Company , Ltd , of 112 Regent Street , W . The name of this firm is a sufficient guarantee that the work has been done in the best possible manner , but we think in this instance they have beaten their own record . The chaste , if somewhat severe , " Adams " style of design has been the one adopted , and carried through the whole service . No effort has
been spared to ensure absolute accuracy in design and shape , with the result that the service is an exceptionally fine exposition of this celebrated period in English design . The service comprises between twenty-five and thirty thousand pieces , and includes some very fine candelabra jardinieres for the centre of the tables , fruit timbales , candelabra , and many other fine pieces of plate not to be seen in other Hotels priding themselves on being quite up to date .
THE TIVOLI celebrated tho eight anniversary of its re-opening on Tuesday evening , before an audience so large in numbers that it was almostimpossi to believe that tho summer temperature remained high . Long before the doors were opened , and while tho sunlight made the Strand cheerful , a long queue of anxious waiters had formed . A programme of extraordinary length
had beon prepared , but several of the turns were not given . Nevertheless the allowance of entertainment was ample , and " variety " was indeed the order of tho evening . Mr . Vernon Dowsett has been the manager of this Hall for six years , having succeeded Mr . Charles Morton , who was able to restore it to popular favour . It is oue of tho best placed in London , and is conducted on liberal and discreet lines .
