rhe Austrian stats Coach.

The Emperor of Austria owns the
most beautiful state coach in exist
ence. It's proportions are perfect and
the finish of the mouldings and carv-
ings are exquisite. 1t was built in
1896, and is shaped with all the
curves which distinguish Louis Quat-
orze furniture, straight lines being
carefully avoided. The panels are
adorned with nymphs in the style of
Rubens. Indeed, the custodian in
forms those privileged to view the
coach that they are the work of
Rubens. If Peter the painter had not
died fifty-six years before the coach
was built his statement would be be-
leved. 1t is a more comfortable con-
veyance too than the British state
coach, being hung upon well balanced
springs. London Chronicle.
