...have told her maid to hide the cold cream, because "M. Vuillard never leaves anything out." She was, in a sense, wrong; Vuillard's eye for the telling shape was methodically acute. A domestic interior like Marthe Mellot: The Garden Gate (1910) seems the product of quite casual observation. Scrutinized, it becomes as composed as architecture in every detail -even down to the assonances between the checkered glass panes in the doors and the pattern of the matting, or the placement of the white dog. Vuillard had an exquisite, wry sense of the moment-the quirky gesture, the sudden...

Actually, the two 16.5-ft.-tall towers just erected in the Gare de Lyon section of Paris are huge, electrically driven vacuum cleaners designed to suck in dust, filter it and blow clean air out the top. "Clear the air! Wash the wind! Clean the sky!" as T.S. Eliot put it. If tests made of the surrounding air show that the towers really work, 50 to 100 more may be set up around the city. But that would require more electricity...
