New York.-Edward H. Hartman
just returned from a seemingly fruit
less search for health in Europe. now
occupies his Few country house on
Tower hill, near Arden. N. Y. The
mansion, completed only a few days
before the railroad magnate's arrival,
is one of the finest in America, and
cost considerably more than 100000
and the owner has spent nearly 81
100000 on the magnificent estate.
But Mr.. Hartman is a sick man,
and whether he will ever be able to
fully enjoy the delights of the earthly
paradise he has created, only time and
possibly his physicians can tell.
When one leaves the city of New
burg, en- route to the little settlement
which is now known as Arden, most
beautiful country is at hand. A new
road built by the state stretches the
entire distance, most Of the time fol-
lowing a pretty brook, which skirts
the base of the several mountain
ranges and when near Arden forms
what the country folk call the Rama
pc river, but which. is nothing more
than creek.
Center Of Beautiful Section.
The roadway leads through the val
ley, with mountains on either side;
for distance the silvery Hudson can
be traced and then, as the road wi
dens around the inland hills, the YER
dant meadows and the mountains
change the view and lend another
touch of beauty to the scene.
There is, perhaps, no prettier sec
ton of America than. that which lies
In the Ramapo valley and around it.
Mr.. Hartman certainly demonstrated
his taste for natures handiwork when
he selected this site for home in
summer.
Mr.. Hartman selected Tower hill,
one Of the highest mountains in the
Ramapo range, for the site of his
home. In doing so he fulfilled life
long desire to possess a spot rich in
scenic beauty, high up, away from ma
laria, and where the air is always like
that of perfect June morning. Then,
too, he wanted to be secluded, away
from all cares, where curious ones
would be shut out and where he could
roam about unmolested. Tower hill
seemed just the spot, and Wien his
mind was once settled upon it he was
not long in making the purchase.
Estate includes Whole Mountain.
There was not a house within three
or four miles Of the summit of the
mountain, and to prevent the spring
ing up of any undesirable residences
Mr.. Hartman bought the mountain
and all the land within radius of
three or four miles.
To reach the summit of the noun
tain was the first problem, and when
some of the best engineers in this
country went over the ground they
were not long in coming to the con-
clusion that an incline railroad was
the only means of safe travel up and

house In case of fire, pumps in the
basement are at once set in motion,
allowing a heavy pressure. An cleo
trio lighting plant on the other side
Of the mountain furnishes the lights
for the building
Next spring library will be added
to the building, and this will occupy
an entire wing. Here will be read
ing rooms, billiard rooms, bowling al
leys and other amusements. This
wing will cost, it is estimated, $4,000
more.
Another feature yet to be added is
a wireless telegraph station on the
/ top OF the mountain.

desired to have an elaborate design there
is the satisfaction of knowing that elabo-
ately braided designs are extremely smart,
while if only little braiding is preferred
again there may be the pleasing conscious
ness that it is delightfully."- smart to have
only small amount of braiding. Black
voile and black cashmere de sole gowns
are always effective and becoming and
they must not be forgotten in enumerat-
ing the fashions of the year, but at the
moment they are not so smart as the
same material in lighter shades. All the
shades of purple that have been the
craze-no other word expresses the
popularity they have enjoyed-are
also for the moment put in the back
ground, while, as has been said, gray in
several different shades and yelloW are
the principal favorites. There are new
shades of pink, raspberry and strawberry
pinks, and the old rose tints that are de-
lightfully becoming and quite new. A
touch of black is sometimes used on the
rather too bright shades of cerise and
pink, and although the general
trend of approval is in favor of the all
one color, the touch of black, if cleverly
adapted, gives the distinctive note that
is thought so important this season.
This is a season when light weight
cloth, Voile and cashmere gowns are to
be far more fashionable than usual at
this time of year, and it must be ad
mitted that these materials are not well
suited to any warm weather. But there
are plenty of cool days during the sum
mer, it is contended, when they are not
only possible but much more comfortable
to wear than thinner materials, and if
the summer programme includes stop
at the seashore or mountains then they
are by all odds much the best fabrics.
Dame Fashion has been much more prac-
teal of late years, more adaptable, for
it is no longer considered requisite to
make up gowns with heavy Innings. In
