CHINESE CHAIRS AND TABLES.

Rich Furniture Used in the Better
 Class Restaurants and Joss Houses. The increasing wealth of Chinatown 1 is expressing itself in an ever growing
 use of Oriental luxuries and works of art. No better illustration can be l found than in the chairs and tables of l the newer restaurants, the joss houses. club halls, and private residences of the district. Formerly cheap but suhstan- | tial American furniture was employed
 To-day handsome imported goods are. if not the rule, at least so common as | to excite no comment.
 | These specimens of the Eastern cab 1 inetmakers' art will bear comparison | with our own. They are more conven- tional and less varied, but they are equally rich, artistic, and attractive. The sitter has the choice of a stool or of chair. Both are made of teak,
 ebony, or ebonized ironwood. The stool l is rectangular, with a seat about 1Sx12 inches in dimensions It is of wood, in-
 laid marble, or inset granite The
 frame is plain, carved, or inlaid with
 mother-of- pearl, ivory. or silver Stools
 cost about from $1 to 5 apiece.
 The chairs are massive affairs.
 weighing from ten to fifty pounds. They have substantial arms and a foot
 rest, which is usually covered with a bamboo sheath. A movable cushion
 increases the comfort of the sitter. This
 cushion has a warm Canton flannel 1 side for the winter and cool Singa- pore-mat side for the summer. The
 chair is always more or less carved. 1 The more ornate styles have their framework in1aid with nlother-of-pearl
 or silver and q sircle of polished mar l ble, granite, or even jade set in the back as centerpiece, The plainest cost S5. while those richly carved. dec orated with mother of-pearl, and back l ed with jade command as much as $200. The tables are like our own, but from four to eight inches higher. Their gen. eral outline is circular, oval, square, or I rectangular. They are made solid and are never extensible. The material is 1 teak or ebopized ironwood, or, as called, Canton blackwood When a table is
 not more than 3x6 feet, the top'is often of marble or granite. The sides and 1 legs are richly carved. and are utilized | to the utmost by the artist. A favorite | treatment is the shaping of the lower
 part of the table leg into a dragons l leg, ending in claws opened or else half closed about globe or crystal or stone l New York Evening Post.
