ire OF the parquetry floor is an old de-
sign Of small Persian rugs. iulaid IS il

cious rugs draps The small divans, and
superb specimens OF needle paintings

most attractive article OF furniture is a
small upright piano OF light mahogany.
beautifully embellished with panels Of
Carved silver, symbolic of music and
song.

dren hill the corners of the room with
beauty, and as the visitor enters. she
passes under the glossy green branches
of small palm tree that stands on a
pedestal of polished green marble. All
the ornaments are of Dresden china.
and the fantastic beauty and grace of
the figures, the variety of design and
briiliancy ot color produce an effect
both novel and agreeable. On the walls
hang brackets, baskets and pockets of
the hOWery porcelain, and atout the
metal cabinet. along the edges of small
stands and fairly crowding the piano
shelf. are shepherds and shepherdesses.

forms of crystal and jeweled wares are
roses, asteTs, japonicas and magnolias
of such remarkable composition as to
challenge detection in a flower show
without the assistance OF touch or
smell. The linen blossoms were brought
from France last summer, and the sum
paid for them would have procured
very nice supply of cut flowers for an
entire season. All the hangings about
the room are made of rich blue silk
canvass, handsomely worked in silver
threads The family crest, done on
field of scarlet and white in silk, silver
and gold, and mounted in banner form,
