"A suggestion which is given rather
than recommended. though it is not
more bizarre, perhaps, than many which
find tangible expression in furnishings,
relates to the making of music rack
or easel One seen was in the begin
ming of cheap pine, made by a carpenter
for a small sum- The supports were
rather broad, though the whole easel
was low, and fat piece of wood at
tached by chains formed the rack The
entire structure was first covered with
putty, and while this substance was
soft and plastic various things" were
imbedded in it; metal buttons, odd
sleeve links or buttons, old thimbles,
the handle of spoon, spools, the crys-
tai top of broken cologne bottle, all
sorts of useless rubbish, very small and
fairly large, found niche in the putty
plaster as they accumulated When
the rack was well covered and the putty
had hardened the whole was treated to
a coat of bronze, with, it must be ad-
mitted, observation-disclosures re-
