	The Grand Trianon
		Trianon is the name of a village which Louis XIV purchased and then demolished in order to build 'a house for partaking of collations' (light meals).
		The Trianon was Louis XIV's first royal caprice, to be followed by the chateau at Marly, and would remain throughout his reign a place to unwind far from court ceremonial and the tedium of royal rule.
		The charm of the Trianon resides in its floral decoration, a motif that recurs in woodwork, paintings, and flowerbeds.

		For the Trianon's more upwardly mobile, white patrons, much of the ballroom's appeal lay in the conservative manner in which Karzas and his managers conducted the ballroom.
		Karzas, of course, depicted the Trianon as a thoroughly democratic institution, one in which all Chicagoans, so long as they could pay the price of admission and behaved themselves reasonably well, were equally welcome.
