A COSTLY DINING ROOM
That Has Been Fitted Up for Ex-May
Hewitt of New York.

That Has Been Fitted Up for Ex-Mayor
Hewitt of New York.
One of the most curious, costly and char
acteristic dining-rooms in New York is that
OF eX-MayOr Hewitt. 1t is literally Vene-
tian palace transported. The room is large
enough to give dinner to hundred. The
wanscoting is of carved oak of elaborate
and costly pattern, covering the four walls
of the room, except a wide space around the
top, which has a painted frieZe of success
sion OF remarkable figures that bear the
traces of age and look as though they might
have been done by Titan or some his
pupils. The room is furnished in Italian
style, and is mainly the result of Mrs.
Hewitts taste. Another remarkable room
in the house is the Oriental room, used by
the Hewitt children as a music-room. 1t
contains the finest collection of musical in-
strumeuts in this country. The carpet was
presented to Mr.. Hewitt by the Sultan.
There is also writing desk from the same
source. The furniturei is in keeping. A section
Of the wall has Il specimen of ornamental
stucc0 work done by the ex-Mayor's sons.
On his last trip to Paris Mr.. Hewitts chill
dren persuaded him to sit to celebrated
portrait-painter. and the result was por-
trait that gives him a much more pleasing
expression than most of those that have ap-
peared. Mr. Hewitt's health is much better
than 1t was during his recent public life,
and he is enjoying mucE-needed RESIN.

THE LATEST IN FANS.
Some Beautiful Designs That Are Offered in
France.

Some very dainty fans are now displayed
as novelties. One, of green gauze, is mounted
on sticks of carved green ivory. The work
of carving out the frames of the fans has
never been so artistic as now or the painting
so delicate. Flowers and fine grasses, and
most delicate scrollings in ivory, are carried
up the body OF the fans over the painting,
which fulflls the combination of design.
The inlaying of metals adds a wonderful
charm to the cold ivory, and some of the
designs so carried out are exquisite.
a fan of black ducheSse lace with carved
she'll mounting is decorated with four me-
dallions of white kid, commencing from the
left side and rising, each slightly raised
above the other to the center. These me-
dalllons are painted in representation OF
the seasons. A Cupid performs his work
among the shrubs and flowers and Is be-
wltching little chap from the first, where he
stands, hands on knees and body bent, blow
ing open the first buds, to the last, where,
his work ended, all the shrubs are covered

nodding head on the back of long, ecked,

home in some land that still looks summary.
Another pretty Cupid subject is painted
on a black gauze fan, and represents the lit

by little dog who holds a cup for pennies
TO sympathetic and unSuspecting maiden.
The side sticks Of the fan continue the story
of "Beggar Love" in ivory and are most
beautifully carved. To continue the Cupid
series another fan of white gauze and lace
holds III Its center painting on white kid,
wherein Love sits on an apple bough and
blows bubbles from brilliant bowled pipe.
The bubbles are real pearls. One of the
carved pearl sticks curves in a most grace
full manner half about the Dicture and holds
the bubble blown highest by Cupid. A
unique fan of short white plumeS is bunch

has pattern OF daisies in gold and brilliants

What Actresses Have to Pay to Dress the

One thing which even theatrical people
cannot understand is how the women Of the

they receive and yet dress as some Of them
are often obliged to do Love of the pro-
lession and IA desire to shine are the only
explana tons possible. at is curious
fact" said Manager Charles Fr0hman,
that actresses receive smaller salaries than
actors, though their work may be every bit
as good, and yet the man will not have to
spend one-eighth or one-tenth the money on
his wardrobe that the woman has to spend
on hers. Take All the Comforts of Home
for instance. Henry Miller can dress his
part for $50 or $50, and he gets a salary of
500 week. Ida Vernon, who was paid
less money, and who was in the piece only
for its New York run of nine weeks, spent
500 for the dresses she wore in the play.
In Men and Women $l75 and $50 week
actors have no wardrobe to buy except q

GREAT ENGINEERING.

The Greatest Piece of Solid Masonry in

The attention of the engineering world is
just now fixed on the Bombay Presidency,
where is being constructed the greatest
piece of solid masonry the world has ever
seen in modern times. For years past the
water supply of Bombay has depended upon
works which have been acknowledged to
be defective, and the possibility Of water
famine in the great Eastern seaport could
not be contemplated with indifference by
the Government. Mr.. w. Charge, M. l.
