THE DISPLAY At TIE EXPOSITION.
Not less interesting than the galleries Of pict-
ures to the average gisitor-and especially to the
average VISITORS wife-s the exhibition OF nrtis-
tic furn1ture and houze- fittings contained in the
household art section. "The object of this new
department in the Exposition" according to
the original circular, "is to fanlaEize the
public with the possibility Of the sppllca-
tion Of fine art to things OF every
daY use, with the importance OF honest and
truthful construction, and with the appropriate
use OF materials in the building, decorating, and
furnishing Of houses" In this department, as
in the picture show, the Fine Art CoKnnitteo
have seen the advantages Of q sytematic ar
rangement, and several Q: tho half-dozen little
ROOMS devo1ed to it are fully fitted for particular
uaes.-one for bedroom. one for library, and
ooe for dining room.
It is not known that this Arrangement has
ever been adopted before, in the exhibition in
Boston or elsewhere. thorough catalogue,
With q careful! explanation Of the various things
exhibited would add greatly to the value Of the
exhibition, but tho articles cana in 80 late and
80 irregularly that the preparation OF such Lat
was quite impossible.
It is necessary, therefore, to make such OBJ
seryation as is possible from the public alley
ways upon which the rooms open, and
this inspection answers very well, rs the
labels have been made large and plain, and the
rooms are only t2 BY 1519 feet square. To note
the various objects collected here, and point out
the LESSONS ia good taste to be drawn from them,
would require treatise as biz as East1aae's or
Dresser's books, since all tho principal subjects
discussed by these authorities are hero ilins-
trated. But the more conspicuous objects can
be seon without guide, and the useful Office Is
to point out the things that are likely to be over
looked. The subject OF the
TREATMENT OF FLOORS,
for instance is quite thoroughly illustrated, If it
is seriously examined. Ordinary carpets are, Of
course, familiar to every housekeeper, and do
not need to be exhibited. On the south end Of
the inctosure. outside, are soms specimens Of
marquetry, or wood-foorins, which show one
sound thing that can be done. This flooring ID q
of 81 inch thick, Of various woods, of light and
dark color, laid in 3 great variety Of pat
terms, and so dovetaiied and woven To-
gether that 1t is impossible to dis
place any piece Of it without destroying
the piece. The construction Of this flooring is
we'll worth examining "a an illustration Of the
part that machinery may be made to play IN
