The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1904-10-29

nouveau spreading itself in ITS new
est habiliments all over them. Each
room is a special creation. The artist
has kept only in mind that floors were
made to walk ON, chairs to sit in and
tables to sit at He has confined him
self only to such essentials Every
kind Of decoration and equipment has
been made regardless Of The fact that
never were any made like them before
It is like describing red TO a blind man
to attempt to tell the spirit Of these
apartments. The ladies 90 teeterine
along, looking in and saying over those
little yocabularies Of words which they
lhaye In store for the more commoa
surprises, but say them with an EN-
phasis that bespeaks an ecstatic STATE
Of mind
Like children choose the Christmas
things in the shop windows, the visit
ors choose these German rooms. a
placard says that William Randolph
Hearst has chosen one of them for
keeps. like Karl Spindler's gentle
mans room. It Is Of oak inlaid with
natural woods. The lnlaid work is ey.
.ergwhere, including large panel scenes,
mostly Of still life. and every piece Of
furniture is Of special design. With all
the elaborate inlaid ornamentation the
absence Of holdings Of any kind is no
tieeable. These little labor saving
schemes Of cabinet makers have been
abandoned. The doom Of the molding
has been sounded by the new art. An.
other trick Of the art that Il wei
worth remembering by those who are
concerned with room decoration is IN
the arrangement Of the color tones
The dark shades are all at the base Of
the walls and graded UP to ceilings Of
light coIors. The effect is Invariably
pleasing. Any dark feature Of the up
per wall il not permitted to be con
spicuous
The arts and crafts Of Germany have
taken great pains to produce in their
exhibit a better display of their art
and skill than has ever been made be
fore at any exposition Hence tile re-
peated visits OF art lovers aud home
makers to these Incompatible rooms
that are worthy OF palaces and man
sions OF the most elegant type. But
with all their extravagant expendi-
lures Of patient labor each creation Is
full Of suggestion for those who may
wish to use i little art in their home
decoration. There are so many mate
rails less costly than inlaid wood that
may be substituted for paneiing, dados
and freizes that a reasonable expense
in conjunction with = little art Will
work out beautiful results
One need not look twice at the nurs-
cry and sleeping room IN the German
arts and crafts exhibit TO decide that
every home where there are children
should have a children's room. These
apartments are Of gray stained elm
and all the equipment is iii children
sizes, full of possibilities for their en-
joyment and proper development
The living room In natural oak, wax
ed, is almost devoid of movable furnt
ture. On three sides are wide settees
upholstered in leather. A large win.
dow In one end is opposed by an Oh
long basin Of running water at the 9th
er, the basin being OF cement decorated
with glass mosaic thing. Above the
basin is a wood scene in thing. Potted
plants and a floor vase complete the
artistic effect Of this end Of the room
The clock case is built in the wall, and
there are inches for family jars
