The Combination Finally Produced Settles
the Antique Dining Room Problem.
The taste Of the past ten years for antique
furniture has sometimes offered problems to
those who were determined to be antique or
nothing In the get-up OF their establishments
and yet had other fixed ideas about what they
wanted. One OF these difficulties always pre-
sented itself when the question of furnish
ing the dining room arose. Black oak be-
came the popular material for furnishing
dining rooms shortly after the craze for
the antique had established itself perlna-
nently. Black oak was not to be had
In shapes that conformed TO the taste
OF those who fancied cIaw-foot chairs and SWELL
front sideboards. So the housefurnisher was
always confronted with aproblem when 1t came
to the dining room. Mahogany in the desired
antique fashion could be got without trouble,
but black oak was scarce. In the Italian fur
niture. Horribly carved and OF wholly modern of.
feet. there was plenty OF black oak to be found.
But for those addicted TO the antique there
seemed no prospect beyond mahogany.
But the news Of this difficulty reached furni-
ture makers, and. after it had time to mature,
there came a solution for this situation. It was
facing a blank wall that admitted no a%lterna-
tfrrye 6ut modern styles or antique mahogany.

kind OF antique. in the world. provided they
have time enough. but from the makers Of new
mahogany the old -fashioned furniture which
had hitherto been obtalnable only In mahogany.
Heavy claw-footed chairs. old fashioned chunky
sideboards with bullying bellies and thin legs,
corner, cabinets with quantity loaded panes-
AL OF these desired fashions have been put on
the, market, and the question OF the antique
dining room has lost half its d~iflculties,
hurists may object 70 a combination OF
who is able to get this combination OF black oak
and claw feet Is usually too well satisfied 10 be-
critical about the aesthetics Of the matter.
