In furnishing home variety of pretty
effects can be gained by small seats which
hug the corners closely. Among the latest
are those with single ornamental end of
fine etched wood cut out in an appropriate
shape.
The couch is low. we'll cushioned and
equipped with some three or four pillows
of any spring-like material which matches
the seat while the unornamented end is
finished simply with a frill that falls from
the cushion to the floor, the entire length
of the seat
This one tall end may be an attractive
feature for those skilled in typography,
but To be at it's best it should be made OF
holly or Eastwood, cut in sections. and then
Joined to prevent warping. If desired. on
the inside OF this end there can be shelf
for books and the like. The design may be
outlined and then burnt in. 1t may have
a floral decoration, a pastoral scene or an
establishment of cupids and blossoms, tax
ing care, according to the rules of this art
that if the background is dark the design
should be light or reverse the picture leav
ing the ground work light.
As for coverings. there are charming
Stuffs in cotton tapestries liberty cretonnes
sateen quill and the pretty Normandy
dimities. ANY of these look well. their
flower effects are gay and brilliant, while
the cushions may be made OF PrlScllla SILK
in any of the solid and delicate tints pre-
ferred.
Among striking novelties for country
homes Is the Darby and Joan chair, low
rocker for two. on the one foundation. The
wood of heavy make Is painted in good
tone of forest green, the rush seats in bril-
liant tints of red. These odd pieces are
severe in form without ornamentation of
any kind. They are in different woods like
ash. walnut and heavy white pine. which
is painted In dark. rich colors. their gayety
lying chiefly in the stuffs with which they
are decorated.
Another pronounced style is the King
Arthur chair. an artistic and decorative
hall or piazza furnishing. which can be
converted into table at need 1t is of
walnut. roomy. low and cushioned. It's
back is a great oval covered inside and out
with nut-brown leather. The chair when
not in use serves as a stand for the oval,
which by closing the hinges forms a table,
and is quite large enough for four at a
game Of cards or for a slight repast There
are book shelves which hang against the
wall on which are appropriate notices. and
peculiar lounging chairs with wide, long
arms held in place by seat of stout crash
of striped and plaid effects.

times her chin, cheek or forehead would
