The Kimball graphic. (Kimball, Brule County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1905, 1883-09-21

one think of the many KIN ees that have pressed
tAem, for these antiques nearly all come from
mosques, where they have lain no one knows
now long. They are made of camel's hair aud
nave an exquisite gloss and sheen from time, and
tho colors fade away into one, another until, as
one OF cur party said, '.They are lovely enough
to make ona cry" The prices range all the
way from SlOto S., 900. An extravasant cost,
put any Oriental rug will wear out two genera
uons, uniass one gets a Murzapour, which is u
ffaA though very pretty carpet.

Parlors and Reception Rooms.
Parlor or reception-room suits are often
made up of several pieces, each differing from
the other in design, wood and covering. AS q
rule, in fno furniture, straight lines aud plain,

Hall furniture consists Of chairs with antique
framework and a mirror and hat-rack com
bined. under which is placed a heavy wood
%settoe, remarkable for its elaborate carving.

hall chairs are those with oak framework,
studded with brass aud having a
seat and back Of alligator skin or embossed
leather. There are also hall chairs with rose
wood frames inlaid with brass and covered
with morocco. For bedrooms, fashionable
suits are of mahogany, finished either with
brass trimmings or surface carvings. Attract
i've suits are also mado of cherry with ma
hogany finish. Canopied beds have almost
entirely given place to the low open ones in
troduced by the French. The landscape style
of mirror is the one now employed for bu-
reaus. A favorite style of bureau is made after
the fashion of n dresslng-table, with wide, low
top, swinging glass and brass sconces on either
side. The washstand to the modern bedroom
suit is also new in construction, and includos
q ommode in addition to the usual drawers.
Cabinets are exceedingly popular and q house
is no longer considered complete without ono
OF more of this grade of furniture. The fact
that a cabinet ia a convenient receivable and
capable Of any amount Of ornameutation guar
antees its continued popularity. Cabinets are
manufactured in a great variety of style, both
as regards material and des!gp. Cocobola is a
fashionable wood for cabinets; 80 are amar-
anth, mahogany aud rosewood. A novelty in
hanging cabinets is plush-covered and consists
OF lrreeular!y disposed shelves. The houses
into which the furniture described goes, as a
rule, are finished in hard wood. Mahogany,
oak and cherry are favorite woods for interior
work.
Glass and China.
Glass and china says n New York letter, como
out in constantly new designs. This most beau
tiful of the former is the English glass in opal
inc shades. with punches OF berries, or a bunch
of plums, or dwarf pears, in their natural col
ors and size, leaves and all, dropping over the
edge. Cut glass, OF course. never loses Its SUI
periority, and is brought to great perfection

most exquisite thing of this kind, however, is

- &c.. vclvets.
Plain velvet will be largely employed, not
only for dress skirts aud entire costumes, but
for cloaks.. 1t will also be much used for trim
mings and iu association with wooden stufrs.
With the rage for velvets will reappear the vel
ret basque, to wear with skirts of other fab
RIGS. Figured ve!vets will appear in a great
variety of designs. Some specimens seen ex-
hlDited set figures of large dimensions. which,
it must be said. arc more striking than beanti-
full. Many ladies will hesitate TO wea: q dress,
however elegant az regards quality, that is
covered with begonia leaves or devil-fsh, and
yet these aud other equally absurd subjects
contribute designs on SOM OF the new fig
velvet season without silkcn fabrics of
great richness of color and effect Vel
vet calls for an association of elegant materials.
Velvet will lead during the fall aud winter In
fabrics, aud consequently dress goods will be
correspnndinGly elegant in effect. Among
handsome dress goods already opened are sew
eral new styles of brocadcs. LII one of these gold
and silver thread are interviewer through fig
ures on satin ground. In another are repro
duced quaint figures from silks 200 years old.
Tho Ottoman brocades are quite new, and will
attract much attention, and probably q large
share Of patronage. Ottoman silis in black
and new colors are largely imported; so are
the rhadzimes silks. Then there are new
Pekin silks with stripes; and the Pekin ~velours
