and as result a model bachelors apart
ment is presented. There are two en-
frances to each suite, one at the bedcham-
Der side and the other into the parlor.
Two bedrooms and a library or smok-
ingroom complete the apartments The
ceilings are handsomely frescoed and a
chiifonier pier glass, couch, finely up
holstered chairs, moquette rugs and
damask curtains, relieved with a back
ground of white lace, complete this model
room. The billiard room on this floor
leads off from all the bachelor apart
ments. In this respect the HoI-
land house owners have added a feature
which is sadly missed by the man of
fashion in the regular bachelor apart
ment houses. c. p. Diefendorf, whose
apartments are plainly but neatly fur
nished at the Wilbraham, has solved one
problem for the man of fashion. His ex-
cellent taste Is displayed in the adornment
of a mantlepiece. The massive bronze clock
is thanked by bronze statuettes, while the
mirror in the background is rounded reach
ing almost to the ceiling. The woodwork
about it is carved and ornamented with
exquisite taste. On either side hang silken
curtains. 1t is understood that John w.
Mackey, jr., is to have the model bachelor
apartments of the city at the Belgravia,
corner of Fifth avenue and Forty-ninth
street. He has taken three rooms and
they are to be modelled after famous Paris
design, of which the details have not yet
been given out.

THE MAN OF FASHION.
In the Bachelor Apartments Of
the New York Rich.
LUXURIOUS AsooEs DESCRIBED.
Fifty Thousand Dollars In One Suite of
Rooms-No Wonder They Don't
Want to Get Married.

New York. Jan. 4-lSpecial. lit is in
New York the bachelor enjoys life TO the
utmost; New York, with its magniiicently
arranged apartment and eluo houses,
where every need of the single man may
find its proper satisfaction. New York,
with its choice of location, its vast variety
for selection, seems to have reached almost
perfection in the way of making bachelor
feel at home in this world. If you are
man of fashion, single. and want to live up
to big income you can do one of
three things-live at the club, at
your hotel or take a bachelors suite in one
OF the swell apartment houses that are
found in Fifth avenue, Broadway and
some of the fashionable side streets. The
best plan is the last named, and you will
find just what will please you without long
search. Bachelor dining-rooms are out of
style. In fact, in but two or three of the
swell apartment houses is there such a
thing as a dining-room for the bachelors,
and in these cases it is invariably apart
from the suite. What you want if your
taste is luxurious are five rooms--a bed
chamber, a library. drawing-room, a
smoking-room and a bathroom. You will
find about five swell apartment houses In
-'CW tiidt nave arrangements 1OT
such extensive suites. All the rest are di-
vided up into three-room apartments-four
with the bathroom-but all large and
roomy, with plenty of light and air. fla
suite you have looked at is satisfactory, as
far as space and arrangement are con-
cerned, don't fail to investigate the two
necessary adiuncts, the right kind of light
and the right kind of ventilation. If pos
sible have four windows in the suite,
with south or east exposure. Like all
rules this has its exceptions, and surround
ings should always be taken into account.
But proper ventilation is the very essence
of needed repose and security. Don't for
get to ask about it and to examine into it.
With the modern appliances no swell
apartment need be without thorough
system of ventilation. When you have
settled these questions prepare to furnish
your rooms. You can spend $3.50 or you
can spend $4,000. There are styles of
both and at all prices between these ex-
tremes in New York city.
Lewis G. Tewksbury, the banker, has
perhaps the richest bachelor suite in the

approaching perfection in the way of
bachelors apartments.
Up in the Croisic hats, on Fifth avenue
and Twenty-sixth street. where the old
Berry Wall apartments are, you will find
things arranged more modestly and with
perhaps more genuine good taste. The
Berry Wall apartments are now in the
possession of Alfred Beadieson. the son OF
the brewer, and he has furnished them
elegantly, but without profusion. In
Jack Bloodgood's apartment at the
Alpine there is little more profusion,
but exquisite taste. The beautiful
chiffoniers, a long pier glass, four rugs,
i've velvet covered chairs, canopied
couch hung in blue satin, three or four
oil paintings a center card table, a
massive carved oak sideboard. and you
have reception and drawing-room fur
nished with all that is needed for the
comfort OF its occupant. Ben Ali Hag-
GIN occupies double apartment in the
Nllbrahain. HIS six rooms are ar
ranged without any great display of
wealth, although the pictures which
aforn the walls give one an insight into
Mr. Haggfn's way of thinking They are
ali excellent pictures of the great animals
he owns. In the Holland house there is a
bachelors floor. The most elegant suite
there is occupied by Messrs. Buckley and
]. b. Campbell. Here the Judgment of
the hotel-owners was allowed supremacy,

Prince Pless. All the articles were
of silver beautifully combined
with pearl, and in the center of the handle
of each or upon the back of each was
tiny monogram done in diamonds. 1t is,
indeed, princely gift, and one is not sur
prised to hear that Prince Pless thought it
none too good to give to the exquisite lady
whom he has chosen for his bride.
1t is season for SO many dainty
things in dress that it is difficult to turn
from the chiffon and the gauze and the
airy draperies to the more practical
materials for everyday use. Laces and
ribbons and feather trimmings engage
the attention more than do the more dura-
bic braidings and velvets. One is tempted
to don the chiffon and the tulle where one
formerly wore the linen collar and a stick
pin.
Some of the lace fichus are truly beauti-
full. They are very large and cover the
waist so thoroughly that they are almost
a waist in themselves. Very beautiful
ones are combinations of silk and
lace. The silk is laid in tiny side plaits
and a heavy frill of the lace is nut
around the neck and down the front. A
collar of silk and lace extends all the wav

With fichu like this it is necessary to
wear blazer or an outside jacket Of some
sort, because such a fichu is not properly
finished TO do duty all by Itself.
But there are many which need
only to be pinned on the front of
the waist with fancy pins, and which
are then complete in themselves. The gay
little blazer is seen this winter cut in the
