MISS CONSUELO'S SITTING ROOM.
ID Across the hallway, with its window
seats and pretty corners formed by the
winding stairway, is the dainty little
room set aside for Miss Consuelo's sit
ting room. The walls are exclusively
done in pale lavender; there is a frieze
of white and purple yiolets, and
around the footboard these dainty col
ors are repeated in punches of HIacs
joined by loops and bowknots of sill
yer ribbon.
The room is to be furnished to suit
the delicate coloring of the walls and
ceiling. The. little bedroom opening
out is all white and gold, as every
maiden's should be, and the ceiling of
clouds and Cupids will furnish lust the
! needed amount of coloring to make
! the room perfect.
On the third floor are the guest
rooms, three in number, the first to be
fitted in rich orange color and white.
! the second in blue and silver, and the
! third in old rose. Across the hall is
| the suite devoted to Willie K. Van
derbilt, Jr., the sixteen-year-old son.
/ who is now at college. The suite con-
sists of sitting room, library and bed
room. These rooms young Vanderbilt
| will have decorated and furnished to
| suit himself
| On the fourth floor is the smoking
I room, quaint little apartment in
Moorish coloring, the sewing room,
and gymnasium. Mrs. Vanderbilt
and Miss Consuelo are members of the
! Michaux Bicycling club, and are get
| ting to be experts on the wheel. This
| room, which will be called the GYM
| nasium, will have the floor arranged
so as to deaden all sound, and here
| they will practice on their wheels in
a little bicycle hall of their own. Miss
Consuelo is very clever with the foiIs
and she and her girl friends will have
great bouts here on the damp, rainy
days when she does not care to go out
to the Berkeley Lyceum Gymnasium
From the roof. which has a tall, ar
tistic railing about it, there is a mag
nificent view of Central park, and Mrs.
Vanderbilt will probably utilize this
| big space in giving unique roof garden
entertainments during the pleasant
evenings of the spring and fall There
is an elevator in the house, of course.
for this has come to be necessary adj
junet to all of the modern houses.
A KIND MISTRESS TO SERVANTS.
| The kitchen and the servants quar-
I, ,ters are removed from the house
| proper. in wing, which is not visible
! from the StrQat Most Of h. IL
wants will go with the Vanderbilts into
| their new home. They will not need
more than half of the forty who were
| necessary in the great house they are
| leaving. Mrs. Vanderbilt is a just and
I Kind mistress, and her servants have
been with her for years, and appreciate
the kindly interest which she feels in
| them. They have pleasant sitting
i room in the new house. and can count
| upon Mrs. Vanderbilt's continuing her
! old custom of sending them to the the
| ater occasionally, and of providing
| course dinners on Christmas and
| thanksgiving, to which they are al
| lowed to invite their friends.
10 In a week or more Mrs VandrbiIt
and Miss Consuelo will sail for Europe
| to purchase some of the beautiful new
| things for their house which million
| aires seem to think they can get no
where outside of Paris. 1t is said Mrs.
Vanderbilt will buy genuine articles
of the several periods in which her
rooms are to be fitted. and that she
has set aside another $25O,OO0 to be
| spent in this way
| 1t is supposed, though no one really
knows. that the lump sum which VIII
| lie K. gave his wife out of his eighty
millions was ten million dollars. Five
hundred thousand is not so much to
pay for home out of so great a for
tune. MILDRED MOORE.
