Down in the City itself, just below the residential street where the Mausoleum Club is situated, there stands overlooking Central Square the Grand Palaver Hotel.

It is, in truth, at no great distance from the club, not half a minute in one's motor.

In fact, one could almost walk it.
But in Central Square the quiet of Plutoria Avenue is exchanged for another atmosphere.

There are fountains that splash unendingly and mingle their music with the sound of the motor-horns and the clatter of the cabs.

There are real trees and little green benches, with people reading yesterday's newspaper, and grass cut into plots among the asphalt.
