the Oriental rugs, which do net look well
in combination with these colorS. have not
such high favor as formerly. However,
those who possess a quantity of these dull
and ancient-looking carpets need not fear
their ever being entirely out of vogue-they
minister too warmly to the artistic sense of
fine cOloring. Some walls are paneled, and
in some instances silk cord is substituted
for molding, but yellow is certainly the pre-
yailing tint for the wall and hangings.
There was time, not long ago, when fan
cifully painted doors were considered su-
premely ornamental. But these with the
mirrors are disappearing. To be sure the
artistic in house furnishing is often carried to
an extreme, as Howell's pictures with laugh
able realism in "a Hazard of New For
tunes" but the artistic must be considered
in every detail. The one thing to guard
against is the having too many details.
There is an aversion to the China silk and
tassel 0rnamentation of picture frames
and mante pieces, aud the ping into the
parlor of endless tea tables and cheap brio
abrac must now be avoided, but the artistic
is still demanded, and lady who has
means and knows that she is lacking in the
knowledge of the fitness of things will con-
suit not only the taste of her fulnisher, but
that of an artist who Is known to have par
ticular aptness at decoration.
A new piece of furniture for lady's
bsudoir is a writing table when open, but
closed it forms an odd table for the middle
of the ROOM An etching or water-color
ornaments the front. and the back is COW
cred with fluted silk in which photographs
may be stuck.
There is just shelf for the inevitable cup
and saucer and a rack for papers.
For the MUSHROOM there Is a much more
substantial stand than has heretofore been
in use. 1t is made nth four drawers, which
The morning call., 1890-10-26

are placed on the slope so that the contents
may be easily seen. 1t is made of mahogany
or rosewood, and an inclined shelf at the top
serves as a music rest. Sofa cushions are
used in profusion. They are always stuffed
with down and are rather large. The COW
ering is usually of embroidered satin or
Turkey twill worked in scattered designs.
Fancy-work tables are made by covering
the plain crescent-Shaped pine tables of
three tiers with brocade and mailing to the
inverted side good-siZed plush bag Silk
cord is added MS finish
White muslin curtains are tied back with
broad white surah ribbon
The teacup screen, like the one in the
illustration, is provided with two shelves,
and is handy for book or cup.of tea. The
frame is very simple and the curtains are
made of a pretty art silk. Another has
painted decorations and places for cabinet
photographs.
The newest and daintiest things in bric-a.
brac are made OF silver. and every well regu-
lated drawing room has its silver table; that
is, a table where all sorts of trinkets in silver
are placed on exhibition and may serve as
subjects of conversation when social topics
give out. OF course the more ancient the
silver the longer the time occupied in tell
ing its history. A wonderful collection of
quaint objects may be picked up at the
bric-a-brac shops in the city, so great has
been the demand for these ornaments.
Six lamps in an ordinary sized drawing
room is not an unusual number. Fashion
has much to DO with the adoption Of lamps
in place of gas but now that it is the proper
thing to use them ladies have found thar
they produce n far more becoming light
than gas. Candle light is still better, and

Profe or Loewy of Vienna Gives an Ex-

Ii was "whist night" at the d. K. E.

when a member brought in Professor Moriz

When it became known that the famous
card manipulation was present one of the
best players in the room failed to observe a

member of the club, says an exchange, soon
mustered in the parlor and the professor
performed some Of his startling tricks.
There were present Burchard, Bates,
Stead and many Others. Several new
packs of cards were purchased. The
first incident was the changing of a
card in spectators hand. A member of
the club was asked to shuttle a
