 Amid the tinsel and glitter Of Iitth avenue commercialism at Ninth street, stands the old Bre- >oort home, a rugged monument to an old dull gold romance. Its halls, now occupied by n private family, also are peopled with spectres of q dlIn, half forgotten past; it's story, 'hrobbing in human interest, now rolcEated 10 files of musty, old newspapers or Wcighty, unread tonnes at the library.

Ma tilda Barclay, debutante daughter of Anthony Barclay. the Brtisk consul, had given her heart 10 a young man from South Carolina named Burgwyne. Despite the ob. iections of her parents, she attend. ed the ball with him. They were dressed as two characters from "Lalla Rookh," then popular opus by Thomas Moore, the Irish poet At o'clock in the morning when the festivities were at their height, the lovers slipped away and were married while still in their costumes. A scandal resulted which caused society to ban masquerade balls for many years.
 Estelle Ann Lewis, the poet, whom Poe called "the rival of Sappho," and whom Lamartine de- scribcd as "the female Petrnrch. |" lived in the house which still stands at 1"5 Dean street.

 A few doors away is the old house at 195 Dean street. where the noted southern poet, Sidney Lanier, lived in 1S74-75.
