of pianos for bridal gifts has come to advance
selling of pianos for wedding gifts. The setting
is a replica, greatly enlarged, of an advertise-
ment recently used by the Aeolian Co. visual-
izing the beautiful "Midsummer Night's Dream"
wedding music of Mendelssohn, and featuring
a Steck small grand piano.
The instrument, occupying the foreground, is
placed upon a dais floored with black and white
tiles. The background is a triptych screen of
huge proportions, painted to represent foliage.
The piano is of French design, of the beauti-
ful Venetian blue-green tone, and with delicate
landscapes of the period painted upon its sur-
faces. It illustrates faithfully the French and
the large screen. It is also a landscape and
depicts the fairy host of Mendelssohn's fancy,
the magic cavalcade that found its way through
his garden on a midsummer night—awakening
the sounds of evening for which he found ex-
pression in his most famous music.
At the right and left of the screen are trel-
lises with flowers of June and weddings, the
well-known dogwood blossoms and hydrangias.
A few formal marbles are well spotted. The
piano bench is decorated with a bride's bouquet
and a spotless pair of long white gloves,
dropped as they may have been by a bride-to-
be rushing to shower her thanks upon a gener-
ous and indulgent piano-giver.
