Mr.. Z. s. Wells Beautiful House on
Summit Ayenue--News Of Jer-
sey City's Four Hundred.

Soy NltJ IVul HuuuI6us
Everybody, or that is nearly everybody,
has come home from the country and
numerous adventures and hair-breadth
escapes are being told now by every new
arrival. Improved in health and spirits,
the wanderers are reluctantly compelled
to rest for few weeks before they begin
the coming seasons designations. This Is
an excellent season for rearranging
and replenishing the wardrobe, and the
dresslnaker will be the most important
parsonage for the coming month or two.
A few fortunate ones have been able to
prolong their wanderings. and have run
oil to the mountains to enjoy the autumn,
whose matchless garb of crimson and
god, robes the country in wonderful
beauty. Scarcely does summer make its
exit before winter festivities are being
Planned. and already the outlook pre-
diets a pleasant social year.
THE NEW WELLS RESIDENCE.
Those who have been out of the city a
few months will be surprised TO see the
transformation which the residence Of K.
$. Wells has undergone. The modest
looking two-story French roof house
which stood almost opposite st. Johns
Free Church on Summit avenue has been
entirely changed. The French roof has
disappeared and a facade after the old
Colonial style has concealed all traces of
the former plain and unpretending front.
"A pleasant, broad yeranda extends across
the front and around the tall tower which
looks out upon two streets The interior
OF the house has not been altered
as much as the exterior, the
ARRANGEMENT of the rooms being
almost the same. To the left of the
broad hal! is the large saloon drawing
room, divided by handsome arcn. The
floor is richly inlaid in beautiful mosaic
design with rosewood, maple, oak, holly
and NAH woods. The hall is likewise in
laid. The pretty reception room In the
tower has parquet floor of maple, oak,
ash, rose and walnut woods, with bdf-
der of the Same in a most unique design.
The dining room, which is directly back
of the reception room, is like 1t. A but
ler.s pantry has been added to this floor
and the extension somewhat enlarged.
THE UPPER ROOMS.
On the second floor each room has a
parquet floor OF oak, mahogany and wal
nut. while those on the third floor are of
mahogany oak and ash. On this floor in
the tower is a handsome billiard room
inlaid in panels and border of oak, ma
hogany and walnut. There is not q more
beautiful interior In any house in this

Quaife, are we'll satisfied with their
work, which has been carefully done.
The house is now in the hands of a
famous New York decorator who will
furnish 1T in the latest style and most
elegant manner
IT LACKS AIR SPACE.
But one real fault is discernable, the
grounds surrounding the house are much
100 small TO diplay il to any advantage.
The outside will be painted in old colonial
style, lemon and white. The alterations
in the house are said to have cost twelve
thousand dollars, and 1t is quite source
OF aslonishment to people that an old
house could be converted into SO
handsome a one at moder-
ate expense. Mr. Wells is
prominent member of the Palma and
other social clubs in this city Although
Mrs. Wells has previously entertained
but seldom, IL is said that this winter she
will extend her hospitality beyond the
circle of immediate friends. She is an
EXPERT horsewonan and is very fond of
the exercise. She rides daily and has q
thoroughbred saddle horse Of which she
is justly proud. EIDDA.
