FURNISHINGS FOR COUNTRY CLUB.
TASTEFUL AND EFFECTIVE DECORATIONS
TREATMENT OF WALLS.

'The opportunties for charming interior efects

shown in every department of the arts and cra1ts
contributes largely to the means by which these
effects may be secured. Some new departures In
chairs tables and settles originating in the well
known outlines Of the California mission furniture
are particularly pleasing in the rooms or couh-
try club.
Most noticeable among the recent contributions
of this kind are the wide porty chairs with Das-
lsa.s strained to the sides for holding newspapers
or magazines: some taller seats that resemble the

Some dining chairs In weathered green hnsh
have horse hair blankets fastened to the seats oy
leather bands and colored prints inserted In the
upper part of the back. Freside settles are es-
pecally sturdy and cosey looking, ana the 'apieS
are unique and simple in construction.
