Other chairs made in the mission furni-
ture for little ones have animal sides. The
animals are designed by Cecil Alden.
There are dogs, cats and rooters larger
than life, and possibly twice as hand
some" The cat chair, painted in natural
colors, has a cat on either side of the
chair the two tails in air forming the
side posts and the head projecting In
front All this is on rockers. much on
the order OF small chld's rocking
horse. Some Of these chairs have the
rush seats and others are upholstered.
One Of the most attractive Of the dress
ing tables in the popular mission furni-
ture has its top of dark wood and at the
back square mirror set In massive
frame OF the darlt oak. On either side Of
the mirror are sconces holding candles
to light It,
While a tremendous advance in the
lighting of our homes has been made
since grandmother's day, everything has
to bear the resemblance of candle.
. Even the gas fixtures and electroliers
. are in neary ovorry case made to repre-
cent candle holders. whether as candcl-
abra, lanterns or sconces. For tho front
, hall the lantern form is the most popular.
These come in any number of styles
colonial, old English, Dutch or Louis
TIN-to suit the character of the house.
Even fshermens and antique stable Ian
, terms are pressed into service being hung
: in halls just as they are except that an
electric candle is introduced instead of
+, tallow Sconces of all periods and ma
tons are used in dining, boudor and
reception-rooms, many of the electroilers
!, being made so that they may hold either
the wax or the artificial candle as occasion
demands. But candles there must be.
In addition to these counterfeits OF
!, colonial lighting an old industry has beer
= revived In bingham, Mass whereby one
may now indulge in the genuine barberry
wax candles-the very same dipped
candles by which our foremothers stitch
ed their camplers and tried their eyes.
Through the Society of Arts and Craft:
!. modern bingham has built up a flourish
J, ing business in these dipped candles. The
t bayberries, which grow there in pro
fusion. are gathered, crushed and steam
. ed until a fine wax results. From thi:
the frgrant pale green candles are made
which are in such increasing demand
Along with the revival of spinning. en-
broidery. rug making and other feminine
arts comes the Glove apple" that frag
rant keepsake of old times Its making
is simplicity itself. All that is to be dom
is to select a good, solid sweet apple an,
stick it full of cloves. When Mis-
Jcnkyns did this according to Mrs. Gask
ell in Crawford" she uttered a John
>. sonian sentence as she put in each Glove
d but this is not an absolute necessity
The mission of the Glove apple is ito b.
heated and smell pleasantly and in tn
old days this spicy token of regard wa
held in as high esteem as potpourri.
AS for samplers" let those who ar
fortunate enough to have inherited on
or moro get them out Immediately AM
have them framed and hung.
SO also the old-fashioned silhouttes
while a collection of old time ambro
types and daguerreotypes has taken tn
place Of the family album.
For pickup work "tatting'' is agai
revived and some of the daintest DOYLE
and centerpeces seen at the Woman
Exchange are products of the shuttle.
In company with colonial furnishing
comes a demand for some of the old
fashioned dishes that will we'll bear a
