e. interest TO consider one Of the
features about which little has been
wr.,ten This exhibition has had so
much material FOR the consideration
os art lovers that it is only natural
that some departments should not re-
ee.re the attention given to others.
However. il is not too late to tell some
thing of the exhibit arranged as q
feature IN the department of decora-
tive arts
Agains. the windows of the west
wall in Gallery T "a are cases of Wis
tarburg glass; in one case. the collec-
lion lent By Miss Minnie l. Meacham,
which comprises examples from the
early, middle and late periods Of the
Wistar factory; in the second case a
group Of similar glass belonging to
the museum. which supplements Miss
Meacham's collection in some respects.
Together they form representative
group OF this early glass, the manu-
facture Of which ceased about 1880
Another interesting group centers
around the mantelpiece surmounted by
two large Loves oft urns, lent by Og-
den Goldman, and q gilt-bronze clock of
type made in France to appeal to
patriotic American sentiment. This
clock and the card table to the right
Of the mantelpiece. both lent by r. T.

Of the usage of the American eagle
IN decorative work, while still third
occurs In the pierced brass fender in
the fireplace opening. The American
eagle and shield also appear upon two
lOwestoft urns lent by Mrs. Charles
B. Hillbouse.
Two fine pieces from Salem are the
Sheraton four-post bedstead against
the north wall and the mahogany chest
against the east wall. This latter piece,
lent by Mrs. Francis P. Garvan, came
from the Elias Haskell Derby house,
erected between 1875 and 1898 from de-
signs by Samuel McIntlre. The mirror

with the unusual design of the Ameri-
