The decoration of homes or apartments in pe- riod style has come much into vogue in the last few years. The architectural design the motif of the wall decoration and every article of the furnishings is in conformity with the period chosen
 Responding to the demand for period pianos Messrs. Steinway & Sons have produced wide variety which are found in their regular stock and many are being produced on order in the correct style of special periods, as of Louis XIV, Louis XV., Louis XVII, the Sheraton, Chippendale, Hepplewhite varieties of the Georgian periods, etc.
 Often these special cases involve so much high ly skilled labor as to be very costly. Some of the more common period designs are kept regularly in stock and are much less so.
 But no matter how costly the case the piano it encloses is no different from that of the corres- bonding size in the ordinary patterns, since there is no variation in quality in Steinway pianos.
