Nearly all well-informed Philadelphians are acquaint ed with if, but even they would be surprised te hear the things that visitors from distant cities have said of the collection of furniture shown in this section. What seems te impress them is net the obvious fact that this' is such a large and rlivprsifipH assemblage of liv- ing-roem furniture of the finest kind, but that it is se rich in furniture that carries a kind of personal appeal, furniture holding all the charm associated with the finest specimens AND SOMETHING MORE. The "something mere" is what makes the difference. What that something mere is we are net going te define. We are net quite sure that we could. We doubt if anybody could. But, as is true of se many indefinable things, there is nothing mere real. It may be the curves and proportioning of a Heppelwhite chair; the antique air of a Sheraton desk with its inlays and aus tere lines ; the 'profuse, baronial spirit of a Tuder chair, or the combined elegance and grandeur of a Leuis XVI piece. Anyhow,' it is something distinctive, uncommon, BEAUTIFUL. And it speaks no less appealingly in the ensemble than in the individual group, or piece. Among these who have been quickest te appreciate the unique. character of the exhibition are visiting furniture men. The things they have said te us about it were geed te hear. Visitors are welcome te go through the displays at any hour of the business day without having undesired attention forced upon them.
