work was characterized by strength

subdued. His clever treatment of the
acanthus leaf was a particular feature
of his work. This classic motif appear
ed on the arms of chairs, the ba1us-
trades of banisters and other slender
parts without in any way interfering
with utility or grace. Sheraton en-
ployed mahogany, rosewood, satinwood
and tulipwood, combining mahogany
and satinwood in effective landings,
which showed to advantage in his ia
bles, sideboards and cabinets. He ex-

Sheraton, and the names of artists like

ARTS, Jan. 21.-Rarely has Paris
been seen to more brilliant
advantage than during this
winters festivities. Hotels
and cafes have been a blaze of glory
and decorations and thronged with
fashionably dressed crowds. Among
the many beautiful costumes one worn
by the Princess Radziwin was particu-
Iarly striking. It was composed of
black silk lace over white taffeta. The
decolletage of the princess robe was
outlined with diamond ornaments and
mousseline rosettes. A big white nous
seine picture hat incrusted with jetted
lace completed becoming ensemble.

had a Louis XVI. coat of Irish guipure
cut with a square decoIletage. The
Baronne de Castelmiovo looked exceed
1ngly well in rose velours soupIine, with
Louis XIV. corsage gathered crosswise
to form a corselet effect in front and
showing an amazone basque behind. A
headdress of roses and gold lace formed
q becoming chapeau polichinelle.
Many floral and ribbon coiffures are
worm and this mode is becoming a Sc
rious rival for the chapeaux de style.
At the wedding of Mile. Marguerite
de Broglie and the Comte de Lubersac
were worn many exquisite costumes.
The ceremony took place in the Church
of st. ClotiIde. The altar dazzIed the
eyes with the reflection of a thousand
lights against the golden ornaments.
There was a distinguished gathering of
the best families OF France, and when
@ll the figurants in the gorgeous cor
sege had taken their places the scene
was indeed a brilliant one. The young
bride wore 8 princess robe of white
satin souple shimmering through a
beautiful alencon lace overdress. There
was a slight fullness in the bodice,
which was arranged crosswise and di-
minished toward the waist, whence it
appeared cut in one with the skirt. The
long court train was hounced with
point d'angleterre and bordered by a
trail of orange blossoms. From a coro-
net of orange blossoms fell a veil of
rare lace.
The Princess Amadee de BrogIie wore
a beautiful toilet in apricot veiours
soupIine. The Louis XIV. corsage was
embroidered in silk, and the skirt fall
ing in plain folds. was founced around
the bottom with vieux point a laiguille

An empiecement of guipure venise was
bordered with q narrow band of chin
chilla. A reception was held after the
ceremony by the Princess de Broglie at
her home in the Rue SoIferino. at which
the bride wore a charming toilette de
ceremonie of pastel rose crepe de chine.
The eorsage, simply gathered into
high corselet belt, was incrusted with
cream guipure. The full skirt en- tu-
nique was embeIIished by lace incrusta-
tions, encircled by ruchings of rose rib
bon.
The toilette de soiree is occupying
much attention at the moment, for this
is the zenith of the season when balls

in full blast. A gown worn at the Ritz

Rosso and Seelio are connected with
the time. They were afterward invited
by the French kings to do for France
what they had done for Italy. And so
was developed the French renaissance.
after which the style spread all over
Europe Very costly and elegant is this
renaissance furniture, and the most
gifted artists of the day gave their at
tcntion to the making of it. The wood
was often decorated with gliding ond
shell, mother pearl, agate, lapis laz-
uIi and marbles of various tints. The
furniture for palaces and grand houses
on a gilt ground, which was prepared
in a gesso material. Cabinets We're
made with panels, in which beautiful
slabs of veined marbles were inserted.
These were called pietra dura. Later
on painted porcelain plaques took the
place of these marbles.
In the sixteenth century Florence and
Venice were famed for their exquisite
marquetry, and the furniture made in
this style supplanted the heavier, clas-
steal designs. The inlays were partic-
ularly rich, consisting of ivory and
metal in cypress, walnut and other
woods. This art of inlaying had been
imported from Persia and India by the
Venetians. The elaborate carved wood
furniture which belongs to this period
is also very rich and beautiful There
are many fine examples of chests. large
Golfers and chairs with richly carved
backs and legs, each part made from a
single slab of wood, also tables covered

some pieces of fine old furni-
ture brought to this country
- in colonial days or even since
that time. There are examples of Chip
pendale, Sheraton, Louis XIV. and XVI.
and other makes to be found in some
of the old families to this day as well
as much that has been imported since.
French furniture belonging to the diff
ferent periods, also much clever imita-
ton. may be bought at the present time,
and some of it is not so very expensive
after all. There is a general idea that
French furniture means tremendous
expense, much gliding, elaborate deco
ration, Aubusson tapestry and all that
and therefore is not suitable for an I'M
pretentious house. But this is not al
together so. While it is true that the
furniture of the royal palaces was all
this, yet we must not take that kind as
the only example of French furniture
but rather look to the well furnished
houses OF the periods. There will be
found large tables, comfortable arm
chairs everything suitable to modern
private life, simple, practical unpreten-
tious and beautiful. For a sitting room
or boudoir an adaptation of LOUIS XVI
furniture is suitable and charming. The
room may have white paneled walls,
a carved walnut sofa covered with an
tique brocade, marquetry tables and
comfortable chairs.
Perhaps the most practical of modern
furniture owes its origin to that ad-
mirable designer Hepplewhite. The
lightness and grace which express
themselves in curves are derived from
this particular style, which came as
change from the heavier and more
clumsy style of ChippendaIe, his prede-
cessor in popular favor. Hepplewhite
was especially happy in his chairs. He
popularized the shield and oval chair
back He made a great number of chairs
bearing the design of the Prince of
Wales feather, which was either ia
PANIED on the splat or carved in the
openwork back.
Contemporary with Hepplewhite was
the designer and maker Thomas Shera-
ton, whose work, though not more
charming, is perhaps better appreciated
at the present day. Though a practical
cabinet maker, Sheraton abandoned the
actual practice of furniture making and
gave his time to designing and the
teaching of drawing. He published a
book of designs. in which he demon
strated his theory that ornamentation
should be subservient to utility, and in
adhering to this doctrine he gave a
practical illustration of its truth. His

from abandoning the picturesque as
ever. These picturesque ideals have
held sway for quite a number of years
now, and even some of the men feel
yearnings for velvet coats and knee
