Alfred Vanderbilt Lives in These

like tall price to pay just to keep a
scion Of the Vanderbilts, with his ex-
perience Of $4,000 suites at the As
toria and one of 100000 at the new

So far as London is concerned the

The building in which Vanderbilt
has taken up his quarters has front
age on Piccadilly of almost 10 feet and

KEEP DUST FROM PICTURES.
Fine Paintings Ruined for Lack Of
Little Care.

Almost all pictures that hang from
the walls in the rooms of our houses
have their fronts protected by pane
OF glass. while their backs are cleaned
once week. perhaps, of the dust that
daily accumulates there.
In some homes it falls to the lot of
framed and hanging pictures to have
their backs cleaned OF an uncommon
ly thick coat of dust but once every
house-cleaning time.
Where the dust gets through tho
thin crevices left between the thin
boards placed on the back OF framed
pictures it is sure to play havoc. In
time it will spoil the picture by discol.

as the picture itself to such an extent
as to make the photograph almost un-

A good picture framer will always
paste paper OF good thickness and
durability over the backs of frames.
after the picture has been placed In it,
in order to avert having the dust get
in to do its destructive work
Many old and valued pictures. hand
ed down through generations. which
the families would not have parted
with at any cost, have gone slowly to
destruction through dust
The attempts to restore them came
too late, as the likenesses we're SO
far despoiled as to be unrecoverable.
In many homes this work of the
household demons, dust and dampness,
Is going on while the very persons
who within a decade or two from to-
day will be lamenting the loss of their
favorite pictures are looking ON and
even remarking at the dscoloring
process.
Not only is the paper pasted over
the back Of the frame a necessary pro-
lection for the picture. but it pre-
sents far neater appearance.
1t will not eliminate the necessity
Of having the thin boards to hold the
picture in place. These are used in
order that the picture may be held
t1attened against the glass which pro-
tects the front Of 1t. Were these
boards taken of It would not be long
until the picture would draw away
from the glass in spots, according g
to the weak spots of the cardboard,
making the whole present an awkward
appearance.
