rant and shop, Chinese weaving and
some of the beautiful silks and wear
ing apparel of the Chinese and their
methods of manufacturing them.
One feature of the exhibit is two
magnificent Chinese beds, each Of
which has the appearance Of being
small house of great beauty. One is
summer bed. the other for winter. The
summer bed is hand carved and inlaid
with ivory and bone figures and land
scapes exquisitely carved and so
skillfully joined as to appear part of
the wood. The bed and furniture are
of carved bamboo. The bed consists of
an anteroom, with tables. chairs and
tea stands. and in an inner room, which
is the sleeping apartment, there is

and a chest of drawers. This is the sit
ting apartment. The second is the dress
ing room, and the third is the sleep
ing apartment. or the couch itself. The
furniture is of rosewood inlaid with
ivory carving of birds, flowers and
trees The couch is covered with silks
of the finest texture and in gaudy col
ors. The sleeping compartments are
lighted with Chinese lanterns of silk
