a note, but there is none who cannot set
some other's heart a-singing!

From a Windsor chair to a sumptuous overstuffed
sofa.
From a bookrack to a massive library table.
From a dressing-table bench to a vanity case.
From a hall chair to a fine antique-looking hall cabi
net, both exquisitely faithful reproductions of prized orig
inals. The more particularly givable pieces are assembled on
the Fifth Floor, and they are as delightful a collection as
any man or woman could wish to see, a collection unique in
extent, comprehensiveness and charm.
