PARLOR in ROGER A. PRYORS HOUSE.
10 the left as one enters. behind soft
portieres, is the drawing room, an apart
ment that reminds the visitor in nothing
of the stuffy parlor, which is so often to
be seen even in some of the bost appoint
ed New York houses. Everything is
light and airy. and even in the hottest
summer days, when life is unbearable in
the average Metropolitan residence, Mrs.
Fellows "best room" is as cool and rest
full as shaded bower at the seaside
And the same air of fresh daintiness per-
vades the rest Of the house up stairs and
down. bedroom, library and everything
else. The dining room is a charming af-
fair, with It's cozy round table, potted
plants and general air of comfort. The
lady who presides over this pretty estab-
lishment is in every way worthy of the
fame achieved by the woman of the
south. She is model housekeeper, and
lives only for her family, which consists,
besides herself and husband, Of two
sons and three young daughters.

keeper, and besides this assists her hus-
band as general secretary. Her "Sun-
day evenings are a feature of the me-
tropolis, and on these occasions she
generally gathers under her roof the
brightest people in New York.
The Pryor parlors are very stately,
handsome apartments, and every piece
of furniture and bric-a-brac has about it
an imprint of the perfect taste possessed
by the lady of the house and her hus-
band, A distinguishing feature of the
main parlor is a colonial mantel, on
which stand a pair of massive candle
sticks that were brought to this country
a century and a half ago. The prevail
ing color everywhere in the room is q
