a WILLOW CHAIR.

Enial times in New England has found q
welcome in at least three divisions Of
the summer hOmc-kitchen. verauda
and living room. I'm appreciativc de-
S mdud for it has created a series of
& sizes, all made upon the old fashioned
model. 1t is manufactured in the I'M
q dressed wood, which allows it 10 take
n on in stain or paint the exact color

ycranda equipment the chest affords n

4 persons The table is ample enough
for setting out an informal lunch or
tea. For indoor use the article may be
treated to Il soft toned stain. tho seat
cushion covered with tapestry. and a
tapestry panel may be fastened To the
back with antique nails. The solidlty
and breadth of this table recommend
it as safe foundation for lamp and
for use in evening games.
For summer home not only the
chairs and tables, but many other
pieces of furniture, may bc selected in
the popular willow ware. There are
charming low backed settles. pictur-
oSquc high backed seats and Moorish
benches. muffin racks for afternoon
tea. wood baskets for the open fire and
wall racks for newspapers and maya
zines. The distinctive nature of the
willow ware is never fully recognized
unless it is bought in the natural color
and stained to meet the needs of the
room it is destined to occupy. some
times the black enamel paint is the re-
qulred note i'll an apartment of too va
llrd colOriug, or, on the contrary. a
brisk touch of sealing wax red is nee

and backs of chairs ana sofas Gre
tonne, linen taffeta. Turkish goods and
India prints are ali adapted for this
purpose.
The foregoing attractive suggestions
for furnishing occur in The Household.
which also gives some useful hints
about the equally weghty matter of
appropriate decoration, rs follows:
In a country cottage of commodious
proportion the Railways were hung
with white and yellow striped paper,
and the rooms on either side were pa
pered with red, green, pink and blue.
In more contracted quarters an entire
~ different scheme was as carefully
planned, the whole first floor being pa
pered with one quiet toned ingram. In
the latter instance the color effects
We're gained by bright cushion covers,
gay window hangings and jars of fresh
flowers
The old style landscape papers, re-
produced from a century ago, may be
made feature in a guest chamber.
The picture papers designed for nurs-
cries may be introduced, though with
great discretion, in a sitting room.
There is an imported paper for chill
dren's rooms which is delightful be-
cause it reproduces the adventures of
some hero or heroine of the classics of
childhood. GoOdy Two Shoes is pie
tured on one such paper; Mother Goose
Is seen on another. These papers
should be used only in rooms devoted
To children
The lattice design showing full blown
