RARE OLD TAPESTRIES
Flemish and AubuSSOn HandiwOrk
in Hotel St. Regis, New York.
A BRIEF DESCRIPTION.

In the series of sketches appearing In
this paper descriptive Of New Yorks far
famed hotel, the St Regis, we have dwelt
largely upon the uulitarian features
which make that hostelry pre-eminent
The st. Regis, however much it excels all
other hotels in the matter OF safety
healthfulness, cuisine, and provisions for
general comfort has no equal from an
artistic and decorative standpoint To
beautify its interiors Mr.. Haan. the pro-
prietoT. ransacked the art centers OF the
Old World. Each room. public or private
contains something in the way Of decora-
ton, furniture, hangings, or bric-a-brac
that is interesting and distinctive.
Among these numerous art objects.
none, perhaps. is more worthy of men
ton than the rare old Flemish and Au-
busson tapestries of the sixteenth CEN
tury which adorn many of the most
frequented rooms. Art galleries contain
no finer specimens of this highly priced
handWOFk. Four Of these tapestries. by
Won Zeunen, of Brussels, which are IN
usually large and most deliberately pat
termed, represent scenes in the life Of
Solomon. A fine set of Aubusson's, illus
rating La Fontaine's fables, are espe-
cially pleasing. Other pieces Of tapestry
scarcely less valuable and beautiful, and
other art objects of great value and in
terest are displayed here and there.
And yet at the St Regis, with all its
wealth Of artistic features combined so
happily with those things which minister
more directly to ones comfort, the res
taurant charges are no higher than at
other hotels of the first class Large
well-furnished outside rooms Ohere are
10 others cost but 81 a day. If bath in
connection is desired. the charge is 81
