DECORATION IN METALS.
An Interesting Tendency Noticeable
in the Newest Houses.
New York SuD =

"One of the most notable tendencies IN
interior decoration just now, said an ar
chitect. lis 70 introduce the metals. es-
pecialIy copper, to take the place OF
wood ard plaster
CLOSET doors, panels, jambs between
ranges of small windows. ceilings and
cornices are more and more being made
of copper and compositions in which cop
per is used. and with the constantly in
ereasing means Of cheap production and
working of metals. this practice is likely
to be extended still further.
Frequently now metal is being used as
the outer casing for woodwork. and the
result is both original and highly decora-
tive Besides this, the metals are used
in grilles in and about fireDlaces and in
the holdings to inclose marble and tile
Innings.
"The extension of the electric light
first created d demand for light hand
wrought fittings in metal, and from that
the use of that material extended quickly
to fire screens, stands. trays. flower ard
lamp standards. and to all the hundred
and che small objects that crowd the
modern drawing ROOM From those to
the room itself was an easy transition.
But the demand that everything about
a modern high-class dwelling shall be
fireprOOf as far as possible is a factor
which has helped to push metal WorOk
along to take the place of wood. The
time is coming when the use of the latter
will be reduced to a minimum in fine
