DISPUTE OVER PAINTINGS.
Vienna Disturbed Over Report That Italy
Will Claim Them.

Vienna, June 25 Correspondence of
the Associated Press Italian claims
to ownership and restoration to Italy of
paintings and Jewels in the Vienna art
collection seem to be disturbing the VII
ennese quite as much as any other prop.
able clause of the peace treaty Of ST.
German.
1t is understood that promises have
been made by the Austrian delegates to
the peace conference that the collection
shall be left intact, and the claims of
Czechs and Jugo Slavs not granted. This
position is said to have been taken part
" because if the principle of restitu-
tion were once allowed il would apply
also to American and English collections
the origins of which are shadowy, es-
pecially the Greek treasures in London.
As some Italian claims to paintings are
based on the treaty between Italy and
Austria OF 1866, it is stated that Aus.
tria win demand payment of two billion
Ira unpaid by the Italians, although
owed under that treaty II is said also
that Italy would weleeme an honest re.
adjustment of collections Of sculptures
and paintings, wherever owned and that
Greece also fsyors this attitude.
Some of ltaly's present claims date
back to the middle ages or earlier, as in
the case Of the so-called crown Of Charlie
magne made by Italian goldsmths. also
the imperial cape, made by Saracens for
the Norman kings of Sicily and Cellinie
golden saltcellar designed for Cardinal
Medici but cast for Francis, the First,
and later given by Charles, the Ninth, az
France to Ferdinand of Tyrol as a we'd
ding present. Its present value has been
estimated at possibly one million dol
lars.
Claim is laid to the Este collection If
Egyptian and Roman antiquities, must.
cal instruments, marbles and bronzes
which the emperor OF Austria inherited
from the duke Of Modena. This eollec-
ton was brought here from Cataro, near
Padua, twenty-five years ago, but has
not vet been exhibited to the public. al
though a museum is now being arranged
for il in the new Hofburg palace
The most important single object of
this collection is Cupid Discharging an
Arrow" by Donatello, cupid being con
sidered BY many the most lovely child
ever modelled. This work was cast in
the middle of the 18th century and is
three feet high There are no copies of
it in existence and very few photographs,
1t would be valued at several million
dollars, according to D'Ancona, if IL were
possible TO place commercial price upon
it.
Among Austrian collectors agitated
over Italian claims is the aged Count
Wilczek, the discoyerer Of Franz-Josef
land Many Of these claims, however,
are only provisional.

Color Influences in Home.

pleasant informality of what some
times is referred to as modern English
cottage type of architecture has become
very popular in America. This style is
characterized by a skillful use of ex-
tremelv simple materials and the result
is charmingly direct and informal, says
the Springfield Republican. A home
built in this manner might be of stone,
or OF brick combined with stucco, the
stucco implanted or possibly tinted in
some such simple tone as pale buff while
the exterior woodwork might be stained
warm brown The interior of such a
house might be developed with simply
stained woodwork, waxed to dull fin

rooms might be Of brick or what is often
referred to as paving quarries." The
furniture should be of a tone agreeing
with the standing woodwork Color is
important, therefore a quiet and re-

wall coverings, rugs and draperies The
bedrooms Of such house could be fur
nished with painted furniturei yet select
ing types which are not in any way ex-
treme.
One lovely bedroom in a small cottage
has the walls hung with modern English
paper showing punches of rich yellow

Many women rely upon the skilled
experience of an interior decorator not
only when a choice of furniture is to be
made, but also when a color scheme is
TO be decided upon. Color has a marked
influence upon the mind, so that hang
ngs, wall papers, rugs and ornaments OF
each room should be chosen only after
consultation with people of acknowl-
edged taste. There are certain accepted
effects of color that cannot be changed;
for instance, yellow is associated with
light, green with freshness and youth,
blue with serenity, purple with cere-
monious affairs. Red is an exciting col
or, black gloomy, gray sad, white en-
livening. No one color can predominant

is discussed during these conversations,

tertains the exile with details of the dis
coveries made by him and his eompan-
ions in Palestine. Syria and other sec
tions of the near East The professor is
an old companion Of Hohenzollern, with
whom he spent some time on the Island
of Corfu, where the time German
ruler owned the castle OF Achilleion.
Even at the dinner table archaeology
is now the main subject of conversation,
for reference to the war is tacitly taboo

tincks. On these occasions both Hohen-
zollern and his immediate suite, inelud-
