So many and SO various are the possessions
gathered there that any coherent enumera-
ton of them belongs o the commercial
rather than the literary head. There are
queer old cabinets filed to chaotic disorder
with every conceivable thing in the nature
Of the beautiful or the curious. Masks of
bronze and plaster look solemnly down
ward from walls and shelves. Hideous old
pagan gods grin from many a point of
vantage Heads of philosophers, pre- Soc
ratio and modern, nod from heights as
eminent as their names. A slim plaster of
Paris hand peers from a bunch of tall grasses
and ferns, dust-laden and old as the earth
apparently. A certain amount Of dust, ar
tistically disposed, seems to be part of Mr.
Chases plan of furnishing. In one corner
huge piece of tent cloth is flung over sup
ports and has the effect of tent in a chronic
state of dilapidation. Its purpose is to
break the extreme squareness of the corner.
Mr.. Chase is the mortal enemy OF square
corners. The dust of the ages is upon it,
but this also has its picturesque uses and is
too high up to concern oneself about, any
way Then there is no active air straying
around likely to dislodge it. The only win
low in this first room is nearly as high as
ths ceiling and fully as deep as barn door,
but it is covered to the height of about ten
feet, filled in with traps of all kinds, and,
rs the schoolmaster says, presents the ap-
pearance" OF never having been opened. The
upper part let's in enough of the artists
beloved north light to work by.
Vases Of every pattern and age are there
Some as diminutive as thimbles and some
large enough to hide 2O0-pound man in.
Straw hats and satin slippers are slung
around carelessly. Used as models, perhaps!
No; they are there because the master of the
studio sees a disorderly beauty in them.
They fit in harmoniously among his unique
surroundings. Screens and stuffed birds are
numerous, and there, too, are implements of
warfare Of many nations, dozens OF i'm
mense muskets, quantities of revolvers, white
ions in state of @innocous desuetude,"
Turkish divans, and many a quaint bit
of artistic handiwork as old as Abraham.
The floors are painted and polished, and
softened here and there with costly rugs.
Green plush draperies make a background
for the artists sitters Lions heads and
Turtles with shining backs look over the
edge of the drapery. Fish nets from the
shores of the Red sea are there; scalp locks
from our vanishing noble red men hang un.

beside dried flowers from far Cathay.
