| In the internal decoration, the English are supreme. The Italians have but little sentiment beyond marbles and colors. In France, the people are too much a race of gadabouts to study and maintain those household properties. The Scotch are poor decorists. The Dutch have merely a vague idea that a curtain is not a cabbage. In Spain they are all curtains--a nation of hang men. The Russians do not furnish. The Hottentots and Kickapoos are very well in their way. The Yankees alone are preposterous. |
