he New
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 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.
The outside front and side walls
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.
The central gallery is devoted to
Oil Paintings and Photographers.
In prominent place, and framed in
golden mahogany, is fine oil copy
OF Raphaeps celebrated Madonna
of the Christ" famed for its soft
harmony 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 Gainsborough repro
duction showing the costumes 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 ar
tistic coloring from Martini and De
Artley.
Quite admirable is fair young
girl clothed all in white, standing
with bare head and flowing hair, in
a graceful boat floating among wa
ter lilies.
The gallery of Water Colors and
Pastels contains many exquisite pic
lures from which to select beautiful
adornments for the walls of the
home.
'The Wave" by Sitzman, is fas-
cinating water color which gives
realistic impression of the strength,
the compass and the grandeur of
billow of the mighty ocean.
1.-TWO Peasant Girls" the creation
Of Ridgeway Knight, would attract
admiration in any parlor. They sit
together on low stone fence in the
midst of wild flowers, the center of
one of natures loveliest views.
A Zachariah Reed picture has
dash of romance to heighten its in
terest. A young fisherman has run
his boat in to the shore and sits
mending his net, to his back the
placid stream, the rising hills, the
f~rest with its foliage Frightening
into the tints of autumn. This is
called "The Lone Fisherman" Yet
he is not so very lonely, for across
the green sward sloping down to-
wards the boat, comes his pretty
sweetheart, pail in hand.
E. Rowyshi and other well-known
artists are also represented in the
collections of this gallery.
A remarkably interesting gallery
is that which displays Sporting Pic
lures: Hunters with horses and
hounds, animals and many motifs
suggestive OF outdoor life and
sports. These are generally framed
in dark woods and suitable for dens
and halls.
Nursery Pictures, also, are here
in varied scenes that delight the lit
tie folk.

and other appropriate motifs by ar
fists of taste and talent There are,
moreover, splendid mirrors to re-
fleet and multiply the beauties and
elegancies of the apartment.
