the green park. This has a charming effect. The
arrangement of the inner hall reminds one of an old
English country house modernised with pleasing
results. In addition to the main staircase there is a
side one, leading to the various rooms not only
downstairs, but upstairs. There are all kinds of
niches, corners and angles, cosily fitted up, and
comfortable places for reading where the light falls
from above. The bedrooms are particularly in-
teresting. Each room has its bath-room attached
as well as a dressing-room—indeed, nothing has
been forgotten in the way of comfort. One of
the bedrooms is furnished for a young girl from

designs by the architect Baron von Krauss,
who, indeed, has also designed all the appur-
tenances belonging to it, including the lamp
in the centre. Baron von Krauss here gives
us the application of modern thought and
technique to the so-called Biedermann, or old
Vienna style, and nothing more charming can
be imagined. The whole has been carried out
admirably by Mr. Fehlinger, of Vienna. The
wood is of polished maple in natural colour, the
upholstering of soft, pale blue cloth, the chairs
and sofa being bordered with two lines of white
military braid, while the curtains and draperies
have a border of white marguerites done in
Russian embroidery. This design is also on the
sofa cushion, worked by Fraulein Loitha von
Niebauer. The mounting of the furniture and the

clamps of the chairs are of blue annealed iron.
Peeping from behind the curtain is the dainty bed
with its dainty linen by Urban, of Vienna. The
Madonna over the bed is by Defregger; the
glazed window, carried out by Geyling's Erben
was also designed by Baron Krauss, and is not
only admirable in its conception but in its fulfil-
ment. Here, too, is an overmantel looking-glass,
another innovation in a country where such
ornamentation is almost unknown. The carpet,
also of blue, was executed by Mr. Kinskey, of
Maffarsdorf. The other rooms are equally taste-
fully and comfortably arranged. The boudoir is in
bent wood, by Kohn, of Vienna, and is in silver-
