ART Salon..

The magnificent new Salon which
has been arranged on the fourth
floor of the Tenth street building is
a feature of paramount interest to
patrons of art and lovers of beautiful
pictures.
This superb Salon embraces five
galleries, one leading into another,
and each having its distinctive styles
of pictures. The woodwork is in
ebony effects, harmonizing with the
walls, covered with a rich dark red
tone, making a superb setting for
the elegant frames, some of which
are respondent with gold leaf and
touches of Florentine Furnishing.

have received the same effective
treatment, and are almost en-
tirely covered with pictures, so that
the Salon presents an exterior view
which at once attracts and charms
the attention of visitors.

Oil Paintings and Photographers.
In prominent place, and framed in
golden mahogany, is a fine oil copy
of Raphael's celebrated Madonna
of the Christ" famed for its soft har-
mony of colors and the beauty of the
Mother and Child, copies of which
grace many of the fine homes and
galleries in Europe and America.
The Cavalier with Lady of High Degree is a
of the courtly days of powdered wigs and high
crowned hats with nodding plumes.
The Photographers are grouped
to themselves. and make a charming
collection. There are gems of artis
tic coloring from Martini and De
Artley.
