higher first important entertainment in
several years-and Mr.. and Mrs. Bradley
were among her guests.
Every nook and corner of the Washing
ton home of Mr. and Mrs. Bradley has it's
artistic surprises. Rare and beautiful
things from all over the world have been
deposited there with discriminating taste
and have been arranged with such care
that the house enhances the beauty of It's
contents as setting improves jewel
Mr.. Bradley bought the house from Mr..
Gardner Hubbard, and 1t was almost on
the edge of the city when 1t was purchased
some twenty years ago. Mr.. Bradley
bought the lot next door, and then pro-
ceeded to remodel the mansion, leaving
only the old walls and adding to them.
The irregularity of the house plan tends
to add in no small manner to the charm Of
the interior
There is vastness in the ballroom, which
is the Elizabethan interior the under sec
rotary referred to. With its lofty ceiling,
beamed and raftered, and its massive
carved stone fireplaces. the room gives
a truthful impression of massiveness. The
ballroom also is theater, perhaps the
largest and best equipped playhouse in
any American home. The room can ac-
commodate comfortably thousand per-

sons. The chairs, the tapestries and other
appropriate furnishings are of authenti-
Gated antiquity.
There is even separate entrance from
Nineteenth street to the theater, which is
fitted with dressing rooms In a manner to
strike delight to the most pampered star
of the theatrical or musical ornaments.
There have been many notable amateur
and professional performances in the thea
ter for charity or lust for fun" The
tapestries on the walls are the product of
the Gobelin looms of the fifteenth and six
teenth centuries.
Perhaps next to hold the eye is the pri
vate chapel, an architectural gem, imported
intact from an Old World mansion. Its
stained glass windows look out upon Con-
necticut avenue. The memory also long
holds the impression left. by the massive
double staircase, ascending from right and
left of massive carved stone fireplace, as
old as the chapel.
1t was the altar pieces in the chapel,
made originally for fifteenth and sixteenth
century churches in France and Spain,
that staggered the under secretary, but in
glass cases in the middle of salons or
adjoining the tops of mantelpieces, of

which there are many marvellous examples,
or hanging in illuminating form from
carved ceilings of stone and wood, are
specimens of varied forms of art, hundreds
in number and each a museum piece.
The carvings are worthy careful study
The ceramics and Chinese porcelains, of
which there is an immense collection, are.
a source of delight to connoisseurs.
The music room, with its organ set into
the cream whiteness of its walls, has a
vaulted ceiling that is set out in great
oblongs of delicate plaster work. In this
room is Gobeln tapestry measuring fully
twenty by ten feet in size. On the opposite
wall is it's duplicate.
When one has left the wonderful house
with mind full of conflicting impressions
Of art achievements running back through
three or four centuries, the dominant i'm
preston is of a perfection in the details
Of the collection, the excellence of each
article and the def manner in which mas
sive carvings in stone and wood have been
worked into modern walls without detract-
ing from the evident antiquity of the
countless things that make complete the

Are Unknown to Public

The under secretary spoke the truth, but
IL he needed evidence to substantiate him
he would find witness in young man OF
New York who was a guest at the same
reception and expressed similar surprise
to a friend he met in the parterre corridor
of the Metropolitan Opera House a few
nights later. He said:
1T is surprising to me that so little
should be known about what those charm
ing people, who really belong to New York,
have done so quietly in the way of collect
ing in their travels in the last twenty
years. Every room in the house is a

again in their unpretentious manner they
will make more social history in their
immense house that is furnished with the
carefully selected art of Europe from the
Middle Ages to the present day.
There has been no previous reference to
what is hidden behind those rambling red
brick walls of 1928 Connecticut avenue.
The Bradley fortune which is one of the
substantial American ones, is New York
product, but for twenty years Mr.. Bradley
has had little to do with the stress Of
business. His private affairs are quite
sufficient to occupy his working hours.
For many years Mr.. and Mrs. Bradley
had house in New York, and yet they
have written few chapters of note into the
fashionable records of the metropolis. 1t
has been different in Washington, where
in recent times they have become factors
to reckon with in the fashionable set that
maintains its individuality and yet dove,
tails into official and diplomatic life. Like
several other wealthy families that we're
in the past distinctly of New York, they
have preferred social achievements in the
national capital rather than the fashionable
routine of New York-and they have
achieved.
IL did not remain for their last New
Years Day reception in Dupont Circle to
advance Mr.. and Mrs. Bradley to the fore
