One card on which was re- produced a photograph of the Rupert estate, at Rhinebeck, was addressed to Piper at No. 4&8 Coney Island avenue, where he was employed tn the Prospect Park South Garage. It ran, referring to the photograph of the Rupert villa! ‘This is where the fellow lives who | sells and makes singer ale, and this is where you ought to live (Joke).
