CRŒSUS FLATS.

NEW YORK MILLIONAIRES’ LUXURY PLAN. NEW YORK December 18. It is evident that the housing famine need not worry multi-millionaires. A number of New York men of this financial calibre, having been unable to find suitable accommodation -in the overcrowded city, decided to provide for t-hemselves. They have ordered architects and builders to erect a block of flats upon which they will spend £BOO,OOO. They hav acquired a site in the choicest part of New York occupying an entire block which itself is worth millions of dollars. The flats will be modest affairs of 20 to 30 rooms, each with 8 or 10 bathrooms, but for bachelors there will be provided a few flats of 4 or 5 rooms. In the basement will lie a restaurant directed by no less a person than Mr Louis Sherry, former presiding genius of the Fifth Avenue restaurant which boro his name, and was tho choicest resort of its kind in the city till, with the '■ coming of prohibition, ho decided to close down. Mr Sherry will serve exquisite meals wherever they are required. Thus Miss Multi-millions can have a dainty breakfast whisked up to her bedroom or her father can give a luxurious banquet with choice liquots from his board authough his apartment contains no kitchen. ■ Should Mrs Multimillions wish to give a little dance to a few hundred friends there will be a ball-room with all the necessary accessories on the premises. The servant question will not exist so far as the. tenants are concerned, a.s a corps of trained serving men and worn, en, including butlers, chambermaids, and valets, will be maintained by tlie management. Prominent among tho tenants of the building will be members of the Dupont chemical and explosive concerns who are worth untold millions.
