Not even the sacred precincts Of art escape the nva
sion of the sizzling SOFA fountain. with IL ravdry
b,liShmcuts aud iy frequcn.od gllings ana marbles.
The chief objection these fountains does nor however
lie In their p.eentOus tsteicss appearance lut ~ the

customer gets for hs ten glass about one-hlrd
ml of badly cratoi water favored with cheap srTlp.

will not 20 down the throat.
More Objectionable than the soda fountains the ad
vcrtsng displays made in The annex by two Pliiado
phia dealers In porcelain. ono OF them shows some
pretty Objects but they have right under the classih
cation among the pictures and the wonder is how they
.ot there The beautiful English and German porcelain
goes with other manufactures In the Main Budug, but
these wares from Chosnuts shop have place In the
depart ment OF the fine arts.
