K 1 f FURNITURE INMOST MODERN J?ew Hotel Combines All the Needful Qualities to Make Gueit Comfortable. MISSION TYPE OF I'URfUTURE What clothe are to a roan furniture la to a hoteL True, "clothes don't make the man." Th true and honest heart mar beet beneath a ragged coat But It le Instinctive to take a man for what hla clothe indicate him to be, and If a man of worth la careless or uncouth In his habiliments It count a great deal to hla discredit with his fellowmen. On the other hand. If a man haa sterling quali ties) these are enhanced and hts person ality la made much stronger by proper anj befitting garments. The same thing applies to a hotel. The new Castle haa all the "sterling quail ttea" that 1t is possible for a hotel to have. It la fireproof and well arranged and substantially built and of pleasing external appearance. Now, If with these advantages It were to be poorly or insufficiently furnished It would be doing Itself an Injustice. The Castle, then. Is furnished tn full Justice to Its sterling qualities aa a hoteL The handsome foyer described elsewhere la this section Is furnished with reed furniture of a brown color with coverings of Spanish leather. There are many large, roomy chairs of this material dis tributed around the big area and there are also big lounges arranged In groups. The effect of this lobby Is more that of a large, homelike room than of a publla place. There Is about It the home air which the management is trying to put into the hotel in all its departments. Mission Type Farnltnre. The bedroom furniture Is of the mission type and all of It has been specially con structed for this hotel. Particular attention has been paid to the beds. Manager Fred Castle believes that beds cannot be too good, inasmuch aa people spend one-third of their lives la them. , "Nothirig will make friends for a hotel so fast as good beds," he said. "I would put them even ahead of gflo meals, though, of course; we are going to have both at the Castle. But. give a man a good bed so that he feels comfortable at night and he gets a good night's rest and arises In the morning refreshed and he will carry a good opinion of your hotel all his life. And you can be sure he will come back to It the next time he is In Omaha. "No hotel In the country has better be? than the Castle. I have looked out for that. The highest grade of de luxe springs and Dixie mattresses will be the foundation for these good, restful beds, and the bedclothlng will be of a quality in keeping We're going to see to It that our guests sleep better when they are at eur hotel than they do at home. If that la possible." The bedroom decorations are Imported English wall papers of small, beat de signs and the very latest patterns. The walls of the halls are painted In aoft French gray tones that are restful to the eye and clean looking. The bedrooms have many little refine ments and conveniences, such as night tables and trunk racks. The tops of all dressers and desks are covered with plate glass, another feature making for greatest cleanliness .v x .. f " i 1 At t.
