Surely in all the annals of art there
is no museum comparable to this!
There are vaster halls and more
architecturally overwhelming corridors
Of art, but here has been captured
the very essence Of beauty, the spirit
itself of fine and lovely things. -Four

told his army before the Sphinx; here
all time breathes along brocaded
walls.
The entrance court is flooded with
softly diffiused golden light that
streams from the gently curved arch
of a crystal ceiling dome. It is
hushed and secluded within the court
and the murmurs and rumbles Of
traffic along the avenue are blotted
out completely by the rythmic plash

Here and there an alabaster fgure
breaks the fluid line Of the quad

open high, arched doors of loaded

brocades and velvet floor piles glow

leads to the erstwhile dining room Of
the mansion, a large corner room,
with windows on the Seventieth street
and Fifth avenue sides. This room
is vividly alive because Of the Rom
neys and Gainsboroughs that are here
displayed. Over the mantel is a
striking portrait by Romney of the
Countess Of Warwick and her two
children. The room Is finished in
pale green and silver, with brocade
draperies at its numerous windows
and beautiful buffets and consoles set
with urns of silver entwined with del

along its walls.

Mr.. Frick from the collection Of the
Earl of Leicester.
THE Polish Rider" second Rem
brandt. had been bought, after much
dificulty and mastery persuasion,
from Count Tarnowsh, a Russian,
and had decorated the Tarnowski
family chateau on the Russian border
for hundred years up to the time
the American industrialist persuaded
the count to part with it. 1t is said
that Mr.. Frick's own favorites were
these two Rembrandts, the Velasquez
portrait of Philip w., two Vermeers
and st. Francis in Ecstasy, by Bellini.
The Vermeers are especially interest
ing today because Jan Vermeer, al
most forgotten during the greater
part of the eighteenth century, Is
now considered to be one Of the great
est artists of the Dutch school and his
works are rare.
To give a detailed description OF
each priceless painting in this West
Gallery is impossible, for within its
black walnut and green velvet walls Is
contained the wealth of irreplaceable
treasures, the captured creative genius
of fingers long dead and souls that
wrought their magic In other ages
the like of which. unless art be given
celestial impulse, never will be seen
again.
A SMALL room, opening from the
= West Gallery and fronting Fifth
avenue from tall, wide windows, Is
fascinating because Of the incompa-
rable enamel collection 1t contains.
The rich surroundings, ecclesiastic in
their massive, carved beauty and col
oring, form a perfect setting for
these vivid picturizations from the
workshops at Limoges. Of Nardon
Penicaud, Jean Penicaud. Leonard
Limosin, Pierre Raymond, Martial
Raymond. Joseph Raymond, Pierre
Courteys, Jean Court and Suzanne

evant subjects, and the latter depict
ing in immortal blues, greens, and
scarlets a diversity of subjects, largely
mythical In conception.
The enamels are displayed In q
mastery fashion, in glass cases on
either side of the small room, achiev.
ing the highest artistry in their ar.
rangement, lighting and placement
so that no least suggestion Of display Is
apparent and one is conscious only oi
the rare objects within.
It Is In this little enamel room
that Fra F1lippo Lippi's "Annuncia.
ton" hangs picture believed by
Ventura to belong to the masters first
period, before he had assistants ant
imitators. Here also Is a rare worl

Christ" of Duccio di Buoninsegna and
Vechietta's Resurrection" also hang
In this room. Paduan candlesticks on
a carved chest and fragile marble
bust-"Neapolitan Princess" Of Fran
cesco Laurana are other treasures
within its walls.
A marble hallway with ceiling CT
carved black walnut is aglow with
canvas by Joseph Mallord William
Turner, the lyric painter Of light.
Like the Cologne: The Arrival OF q
Packet-boat" which hangs in the
main entrance hall of the original
home, this painting harks back to
Turner's early style while forecasting
the vast dramas Of fugitive light and
color that are the subjects Of his
later pictures. The Cologne canvas
was so glowing that when it was first
exhibited at the Royal Academy near
two portraits by Lawrence. 1t de-
tracted from the effect Of Lawrence's s
work to such an extent that Turner
magnanimously darkened 1t on "var-
nishing day" with coat Of lampblack
and water.
IRON this hall one enters the origi-
nal library OF the Frick home,
with four tall windows overlooking
the green fronting on Fifth avenue
windows hung in fiowered velour vel
vet of mulberry and green and hanked
by low carved bookcases that extend
along the walls, wainscoting high, to
encirele the room in a warm, luxu-
rious arm. The fireplace, centered
on the wall opposite the windows. Is
regally tall, Of dark, carved wood and
percious black marble.
Vivid, priceless vases gleam on the
low bookcases and the floor Is car
peted in jade-green velvet, with rare
colorful rugs in the center OF the
floor and before the fireplace. A
striking note in this sombre beauty
Is the scarlet dress Of Hogarths
Miss Edwards" which hangs above
the fireplace, and the bright Gains
boroughs and soft. diffused tones Of
another Turner.
Through this room one passes to
q series Of rooms Of richness, lux
ury and quiet charm almost inde-
scribable; all paneled in walnut, car
peted in jade-green velour and warm
and glowing with the paintings Of
masters. In the Giving hail." for ex-
ample, above q noble mantel Of black
marble, hangs an FL Greco-a signed
original Of o number Of versions OF
st. Jerome, dressed as q cardinal. and
notable for the intensity and monu-
mental quality Of the conception.

ing the historically frivolous panels Of
Fragonard that were painted foI
Madame du Barry. They are usually
called Romance of Love and Youth
and Madame du Barry refused to ac-

In 1880 the trucking bill for the city in relief work was $i,400 a week {; now it is 94,000 a week.

 Edwin Rockwell, assistant treaSur- CT of the American Brass company said 1t was wrong for employers to hire out of town help with relief lists in existence. He and others said there was a noticeable short- age of first class machinists and screw machine operators.
