One is surprised to note how perfectly at home even the modern paintings appear in this version of an old Italian palace. Be sure that you aim at the same combination of beauty, usefulness, and harmony between colour scheme and objets d'art. It is in colour scheme that we feel the personality of our host or hostess, therefore give attention to this point.
While the Gluck-Piccini battle was at its height, an amateur who was disgusted with the contest returned to the country and sang the praises of the birds and their gratuitous performances in the following epigram: "La n'est point d'art, d'ennui scientifique; Piccini, Gluck, n'ont point noté les airs.

I felt no need for sleep in my ecstatic state, and wandered around the palace, filled on all sides with treasures and priceless OBJETS D'ART.

It also led to a greater variety of the design for cabinets; and from this time we may date the first appearance of the "Vitrine," or cabinet with glass panels in the doors and sides, for the display of smaller objets d'art. The chairs and sofas of the latter half of the reign of Louis Quatorze are exceedingly grand and rich.
His combined annexation of the penniless beauty's hand and her titled relatives' objets d'art, her discovery that the splendid fellow she has idolised it must be admitted, without any indiscreet investigation of his past is a thief, and their final reconciliation in the rude but honest atmosphere of a New Mexico cattle ranch, are all included in the modest half-crown's worth that C.N. and A.M. WILLIAMSON put forward as their latest effort.
Her mother always disliked it; though her father encouraged it in every way; but she developed a rather peculiar bent, and in the years that she spent abroad she devoted herself to the designing and making of jewelry and objets d'art.
