representing mosaic filings of various pat

vantage when the gas is lighted, the
colors harm0nizing perfectly with the
walls and the whole effect is pleasant and
agreeable. The pictures in the room which
formerly rested on the wainscoting have
been raised about eighteen inches, giving
space of an ornamental frieZe, which has been
artistically made. There has been some
change in the arrangement of cornices of the
windows, the gilded cornices around the walls
and the capitals of the pillars have been re-
touched and the entire room presents more
cheerful appearance than ever before.
There has also been some change in the red
room, the frames of the mirrors over the
mantcl and on the south wall between the
windows, which were formerly of gilt hav-
ing been substituted by mahogany which is
more in harmony with the prevailing color
of the room. just over the mantel

which ornament the blue and green rooms

Dramatic Readings.

The dramatic readings given at the Con-

merited much larger audience than that

tility of talent and an artistic excellence in
their work which was no less admirable than
gratifying. Correct and tasteful elocution,
conjoined with not little true dramatic
ability, characterized their efforts. Selec-
tions from Joel Chandler Harris, o. w.
Holmes, Mark Twain, Shakespeare, Edward
Rsnaud, and G. A. Southey were presented
each one a creditable rendition. Particularly
may Miss Dawes be spoken Of for her pathetic
power in "The Young Gray Head" and Mis-
