sunset sky, is perfect delight Will
Lows tunettes, single figures Of wo-
lands, are a galaxy of almost master
pieces in themselves. The Spanish
woman with the castanetS, the gypsy
woman with the violin, the Irish girl
with the harp and America singing,
are all admirable. Mr.. Lows allegories
of Sound and Echo are also fine. 1t
is much to think that American art
could do so much for this American
hotel.
BOLDT'S ARTISTIC TOUCH"
It may be imagined that Landlord
Boldt, who has to organize this AS
toria vastness of say 700 sleeping,
eating and enjoyment rooms, and to
run the Waldorf-from which, as a
man deservedly dead remarked, it is
not walled off-should be a busy man.
He is: but as he is the coolest man
alive, he still finds time to be genial
in small but effective slices. He in
vited all his fellow hotel men the other
day, set them a gorgeous luncheon
and Showed them over" AT the
luncheon there was speaking, most of
it Mandatory and perfunctory. They
make punning use Of his name. He
would never let a guest bolt" one
German from down town made Boldt
to remark" 1t was Ford of the Grand
Central, however, who brought out the
applause in earnest Ford is the wit
among our bonifaces. He is tall, thin
and sickly looking, and says things as
If they dropped from him by accident.
He praised Boldt, too. Boldt was a
magician. At one touch of his fairy
wand the Waldorf hotel arose in it's
magnifcence; at another touch the
Astoria, with marble and gold, lifted
itself to the skies, but among us ho-
tel men, he went on, 'in our long
struggle to tide over the gaps made in
our resources by the guests who for
get to pay or else commit suicide and
waste our gas, the basis of our ad-
niration for Boldt will lie in the way
he has touched-the Astor estate"

DELMONICO'S WEDDING CAKE.
I don't want to be too architectural
just now, but I want to say that the
new Delmonico, which is owned by
Theodore Havemeyer, is very hand
some and only five stories high It's
trade mark of elegance is observable
in its fair proportions. There is just
the suggestion of wedding cake orna-
mentation in it's decorative remais-
rallying to it of the old clientele many
of whom had deserted it for newer cul-
mary paradises.
OUR EXPLOITED MURDERERS.
While all this gayety engaged atten-

black-haired, heavy-jawed woman who

was the most astounding and unpre-

MR.. HOWE AND MR.. FRIEND.

THE UNFATHOMED CRIMES.
