Upholstery Trimmings.

Women who are looking for unusual
trimmings for their evening gowns and
opera cloaks are now finding that many
of the upholstery shops. particularly
those which import or have manufactured
for their own trade unusual and beauti-
full fabrics are worth while visiting in
search for particular color harmonies and
designs.
There are brocades. velvet silk and
those having gold thread, which are very
satisfactory for the paneling OF gowns
or the trimming of opera cloaks and.
indeed, for entire cloaks. Rich velvets.
heavy satins and pushes and wonderful
designs in taffeta are also to be found
in the upholstery shops. Many or the
more elegant of these shops do quite

feminine fair themselves as well as for
their furniture.

Cleveland, when we consider the relative
positions of Mr.. Lincoln and Mr.. Cleve-
land during the great war of the rebel
lion.
Il wonder how a man giving the history
of the United States could entirely skip
the great war Of the Union. If you ask
how / would put it upon the frieze, If
did nothing else, j would represent the
apple tree at AppomattoX and Grant and
Lee shaking hands with surrounding
touches and limitations of troops and
various designs
Objection was also made to the pro-
posed design on the ground that it con-
templated, in effect. the raising of a
statue to a man who was still in the
quick.
The Appomattox apple tree text was
considered by the committee on the
library but this was abandoned because
the legend Of Lee and Grant meeting
under an apple tree was bad history.
For ten years after the last bit of color
had been blended in the frieZe, the sliding
scaffold of the artists. hung, to use the
smile applied to it by the late Howard
F. Kennedy, long the chief of the Capt.
tol guides. like a huge. ungainly spider
on the walls of the rotunda." This
scaffold was long ago torn down.
There is a belief, popular and wrong,
that the 'eye-sore'' of the rotunda exists
because no artist lives who can cure it;
that there is no artist, who, like Brum1di
or Costaggini can make mortar look like
marble and fashion statues with pencil.
The creator of the statue-fresco of the
Capitol was Constantine Brumidi and his
assistant and successor was Fflippo Cos
taggini Both are dead. though Costag-
gini waited long time for an oppor-
tunity to complete the frieZe. His son
was a recent visitor at the Capitol. Bru-
midi came to Washington during the adj
ministration of President Buchanan. His
biographer has said that he was Roman
born, but had studied painting and archi-
lecture at the Academia di San L4ucca
and for three years practiced the art of
fresco on the walls of the Vatican when
Gregory VI was pontiff. When the
French entered Rome Brumidi. captain
in the Papal Guards, was imprisoned. but
released through the intercession of Pope
Plus TX He then came to the United
States, landing at New York in 1919. He
became an American by naturalization in
1852 and went to Mexico in 1854. In the
period between his arrival and departure
Catholic Church in New York city and
the Catholic Cathedral in Philadelphia
He returned from Mexico and at the
instance of the joint committee of the
library was employed to decorate the
interior walls of the Capitol. Examples
of his art may be seen on the walls of
the corridors In the Senate wing and in
numerous committee rooms on the House
and Senate sides. His "Apotheosis of
Washington the fresco forming the
ceiling of the dome, is thought to be one
of the great frescoes of the western
world.

VHE abandoned fresco in the

may take color from painters hand
A broad belt of plaster. white. gray and

feet above the fiat flagstones of the
pavement and 105 feet below the canopy
within the dome. This ring of lime and
sand winds around the rotunda at that
height where the masonry of the GEN.
trail pile ends and the iron of the dome
begins. 1t is directly over an entabla-
ture which is supported by twelve Grecian
antae. On this plaster band, the width of
which is nine feet stand, kneel, march
and fight thirteen groups of pallid figures
designed to tell the story Of the discovery
of the new world and of the birth and
growth of the great republic. They seem
like effigies cut in stone, but these sculp-
tured images of men. women and things
were carved not with mallet and chisel.
but with brush and palette.

because he pulled down the only remain
