GORGEOUS FURNITURE.

Alma Tadema's Design for Notable
suite OF Artistic Furniture.
There has recently been on exhibit
ton in New Bond street. London, .
notable suite of furniture When We
say that the furniture, with its en-
broidered coverings. was designed by
Mr.. Alma Tadema, and that it is of the
classic type we know so well through
his pictures of the ancient world, our
readers will no doubt expect to hear Of
something out of the ordinary run
The framework of the furniture is Of
rich black ebony, inlaid with ivory.
mother-of-pearl. box and sandal-wood.
with panels. also of sandal-wood. or.
namented with raised scroll-work in
ebony and ivory. The panels are Of
veneer about one-eighth of an inch
thick. and the raised ornament is let
right through to the back. difficult
and costly method. but one which in
sures lis durability. There are settees
large chairs with high rounded backs
richly ornamented. stools. small round
tables with carved ebony satyr legs and
magnificent slabs of Algerian onyx.
and beautiful music cabinet about
eight fees by five feet. with open front
disclosing shelves inclosed with
richly embroidered curtains, and
surmounted by the reproduction OF the
portico of Greek temple. the columns
of sandal wood. with capitals of solid
ivory. the whole most beautifully i'm
laid. We can not speak too highly Of
the careful. thorough manner in which
the whole work has been carried out.
the inlay Is wonderfully executed, and,
as many of the surfaces are curved,
the difficulties to contend with must
have been very great; for finish and
execution it is necessary 20 60 back to
the last century to find a parallel. The
embroideries. too are very beautiful.
This suite is intended for music salon
now being constructed in New York
mansion. The walls of the room arc
to be mainly of marble. and will boast
a marble frieze which has not yet len
the studio in Rome. where it is being
executed; and the ceiling will be deco
rated witt paint ngs by Sir F. Leigh
ton. There is also to be a piano for
the same room, which is to be richly
inlaid. aud will be, SO far as we can
Judge. q most successful though costly
attempt at difficult problem. Mr..
Alma Tame Ia will paint a subject on
the outside of the lid. and the under
side will have panels of parchment for
the autographs of the musical celebri-
ties who will perform in the room

s.What was the trouble with ycuf

said the manager. IF you can call a
person a crank who thinks moe OF dog
than child. then she is one. and the
class of which she is fair specimen i:
by no means small. The whole trouble
arose from a mistake made in measur.
ing her dogs foreleg for bracelet.
After the animal had worn it few
times It became tight, and in removing
it the skin was slightly abraded. Why
do say that she thought more of her
dog than her child? Well. my judg-
ment is based upon acommercial trans
action. She came in here about two
weeks ago with one of the prettiest

for the little one. 1t cost 1915. while
she paid $28 for q bracelet for the yelp.

the city. just before the opening OF
the summer-resorts our trade had a
wonderful boom. and it would have
surprised one who had not been initi-
ated to see the valuable ornaments
that were ordered for pets. The
trade. however. has not been as good
this year as it, was last, probably / g.
cause the line of jeweliy worn by each
animal was full. This business began
six or seven years ago. and jumpe
into full swing when. at one of the ami
NAL dog shows. pug was exhibited
with q beautiful pair of bracelets upon
its forelegs. The ladies were overcome
by the cravings of envy and FASTENED
to adorn their pugs in the same way.
Some even went so far as to have the
ears of their dogs pierced and dainty
little ear-drops suspended therefrom.
A philanthropic sp rit started the story
that this practice interfered with the
dogs hearing and was mild method
of torture. and it has now fall
len into disuse. However much the
owners may admire the appearance oil
their bespangled pets. have yet to
find the dog that feels elated when
jewelry is put ON him. Dogs usually
try to tear these things off " tn their

used. have to be specially prepared. ]
