Perhaps there is in this home nothing
more unusual in design, or more valued
by their owner, than the pieces of superb
carved ivory. A large bas-relief shows
great strength and some very fine lines,

for its fantastic conception.

Miss Russell brought from England. The

announces as ''slow as Philadelphia, -

are crowded with photographs, French

the house itself. The brass bed is hung
with blue silk and oriental lace strewn

thropy. But until now, not a word has
ever been written of her house.
Never mind its street-and never mind
its number-or the color of its awnings.
Its hall is small, and attracts no attention
to itself, merely in "Simon says thumbs
up" manner inviting you to pass on. In
this it does as the majority of conven-
tional New York halls do. The drawing
room, on the contrary, is not conventional.
1t snaps its fingers at Past-and ignores
the Future. Its atmosphere is Of the
Now. An antiquarian would feel hurt by
the attitude il takes.
All here is of pristine freshness All
seems new, light and full of sunshine. In
winter il allows dull shades of rose and
blue to war with each other in truly
French fashion, but today-in Augustus
easy chair and divan are habited in what
might be termed their summer clothes, and

caprice for white-and gold-a natural one

probably as one can pay this little house
so like bit of amber in coloring, and
which imprisons bee with so sweet and
popular hum.

deputized one OF their number TO write TO
those distinguished gentlemen letter pro-
pounding the following questions:
Are the miracles Of Christ literally true?
If not, did Jesus delude the speople and
impose upon their creduhty?
If not, and the miracles are nevertheless
untrue, how did such fabulous stories origi-
nate and who was directly responsible for
them2
If we reject any part of the Scriptures as
literal truth must we not reject all? And
