That modern art has wrought
| Throughout the realms Of fancy,
| Within the world of thought.
| With ecstasy like that which Milton &C
corded to the habitants of heaven we sur
vey the marvellous beauties comprising the
superb collection of holiday, novelties in
DickinsOn's Incompatible art room.
Where ingenuity, elegance, utility and
skill are combined, as in this wonderful art
collection of DckinsOn's the ability and
enterprise of the collector is worthy OF
especial notice and of extensive patronage.
| We view here ancient gems from the
Orient and modern products that assert the
artistic skill of our own craftsmen. The
beauties OF Egypt and Algeria. of China
and of Japan are represented, the bronzes
and the porceaines vie with each other in
a competition that calls forth the highest
admiration, while every nook of the spacious
| apartments contains attractive articles, any
one of which deserves special study and
CLOWNS description.
| Further on we will enumerate some of the
! most notable of these masterpieces of artistic
genius. Only for the words Art ROOM"
| that Indicated the location of these splendid
| treasures, we might have missed seeing
| their particular excellence, for throughout
the great extent of DickinS0ns wonderful
establishment there were many attract
i've and valuable articles that lent pecu-
liar charm to the enjOyments experienced
by the visitors.
1t was in the art room, however, that the
endless flow of praise swelled to its greatest
strength. Both ladies and gentlemen
thronged these halcyon precincts, where
products of highest skill seemed to tell
of the supreme power tending the progress
of modern handiwork. Among the entranc-
ingy beautiful articles that defied un-
friendly criticism were the following:
Vases, in finest china and standard potter
les. in silver-white and colored bronzes, in
oxidized silver and other favorite
metals. The same materials will
be found there in NEUROLOGICAL,
historical and general busts and figures. to-
gether with pedestals and stands. Also in
candelabra lamps. mirror frames, lamp
stands and smoking stands. The new and
very popular royal copper was a feature
among these elegant goods. Beautiful
mahogany and rosewood cabinets were
gaily decorated with handsome clocks,
vases and articles of vertu; cuckoo clock
sounded the quarter hours, while beau
tiful faces looked upon the visitors
from porcelaine placques that hung upon
the walls. Particular attention can be
called to a musicians writlngSet of oxi-
died silver in morocco case, and a nickel
set in horseshoe which would make
present of considerable value. The daz-
zling display of cut-gIass at these art rooms
is only another of DickinsOn's many special
ties that cannot be eXcelled here this
season. A pair of Egyptian teapots, small,
but exceedingly beautiful. one of which
can be found in each department of the art
room, will well repay the visitor who sees
the beauties at DickinSon's.
