Vanderbilt, Sr., who has 'done so much to help the women of America to make themselves them-selves better wives and citizens, is now showing by actual results at the Vanderbilt model tenement house, 54 K. 7Sth street, New York, how young Mrs. Harlem Flat or young Mrs. Any-bodyelse Any-bodyelse can start a real and beautiful beauti-ful home for the modest sum of $250. Dining room, living room, kitchen and two bedrooms, all stocked with "everything needed for housekeeping," housekeep-ing," on $250. Just think of that. "Of course," said Mrs. Vanderbilt the other day, "some furniture house will assert that they can do the job for less money. But our figures include in-clude cost not merely of chairs and tables, etc., but table and bed linen, cutlery, curtains; absolutely everything every-thing needed in a home. With $250 in hand, no bride or groom need run into debt or place dependence upon the installment plan." So saying, she took the writer, through the model flat which is to revolu-i revolu-i lionize house furnishing, and possibly cause an epidemic of elopements.
