possible, to tell where the one
begins or the other ends; in fact
only the true artist is competent tn
do good work. The frescoing in the
vestibule and in the hall-which
runs north and south-is q study in
colors in Itself. The graduation is
perfect, the harmony true, the
tone chaste, and the whole effect
such one as brings q sense of
effective yet quiet and unobtrusive
satisfaction. The dado work in the
vestibule and hall forms literally
q picture gallery, for John
Tullidge the artist and John
Eullidge the house decorator are
found in one, and the result is re-
markable. The dado the whole
length of the vestibule and hall, on
either side is composed Of a series Of
paintings in oil, about feet 6 by IS
inches in size, representing a great
variety of art subjects, marine,
landscape and figure-all in differ
emit colors, yet blending into a per-
feet harmony Of tints-and indepen-
IDENTITY of the actual artists work.
the effect is superb to any one. even
the most casual observer Of colOrs.
Above the framework of the dado
are painted tulips in all their varied
colOrs. The granting on the doors,
and the painting in the bedroom is
the choicest and chastest. The
dining room, sitting room, and par
lor, the latter facing the south, open
into each other, and when the deco
rations are completed will be the
equal, if not the superior OF
the decorations in the vestl-
bule. The centre pieces to the
ceiling are from Messrs. Watson
Brothers, and are painted in oil.
The frescoing is in Oil-in fact all
the painting is done in oil-while
the dado work In the dining room
will be still life pictures and hunt
ing scenes. Time is too fleeting to
attempt anything like a detailed
description of the artistic work
being done, but from the crude ref
erences to the manner of decorating
the vestibule and hall, some faint
idea may be obtained of the quiet
elegance of the work being done in
the other portions of the house. 1t

Mr.. Lowell is genuine lover ci
the beautiful in art, and is one o.
those practical men who believes il
gratifying all noble desires, and in
culcating a love of beauty in hi,
children and friends by placing OBJ

evident desire being to beautify an(
build up.
Mr.. Lowell has always been al
active citizen, and wherever he re-
sides his disposition is to build up
to increase the value of property
to inspire his neighbors with a de
sire to make their homes more at
tractive, and to place his mean

confidence and esteem of citizen
generally, and those who know hin
will rejoice in his nerve, energy AM
taste, and wish him we'll in his new
home.

neighborhoOd of $4,000, Of which
amount no less than $500 il
given for the superb decoration
referred to.
