nishings. Toward the close of the
eighteenth century Golfers were all but
discarded. Until recently specimens
were to be found only in the museums
or old castles and manor houses of Eu-
rome.
Now the taste for antique furniture
is bringing the Golfers again into fla
Vor. Two seen recently were made for
the staterooms of yachts. They are
both carved and tinted.
One chest is built of weathered oak,
deeply carved and then stained in green
and red. The design represents mer-
maids sporting in the midst of an
ocean forest. Seaweeds and shells are
the most conspicuous features in the
picture.
The other Golfer is of oak, having a
gray finish. 1t is decorated with a
burnt design. Green and mauve stains
are used to touch up the figures The
subject of these decorations is a scene
at the court of King Neptune.
Bedroom Golfers are usually adorned
with flowers. birds. butterflies or some
allegorical or NEUROLOGICAL scene. One
small boudoir chest has representations
of Penelope among her maidens upon
its panels. Through open windows the
sprays of the climbing rose are blown
into the room and the flowers with the
garments of the women are brilliantly
colored.

NOVEL EFFECTS
FOR THE NURSERY

Since mems colored bordered hand
kerchiefs have been manufactured pur-
posely to meet the demand of the craze
for making negligees and fancy work,
all sorts of new ideas have been in
vented for their use.
A dozen may be purchased for forty
cents, and will be sufficient to make a
little girls dress. The skirt should
have a f1ounce of the border cut clrcu-
lar by removing the center and slashing
the handkerchief from one corner to the
center. This will also make a beautiful
collar which will fall in graceful points
in the back. over the shoulders and in
front.
Wall paper effects in cfintzes are
much used in the modern nursery. A
delightful room recently seen. had a
deep frieze of pink chintz which had
water lilies and their green leaves all
over it. The upper third was of dark
green cartridge paper
The bed hangings were also OF the
chintz and were arranged on a hoop
over the bed. They were edged with
narrow, pale pink guimp, as were
also the curtains. The tiny light willow
rockers and chairs had down cushions
and pads covered with chintz, which
gave the nursery a summary appear
aLce.
Another idea for nursery curtains
which pleases the children is the scrim
which has red and blue rampant lions
all over the white background. This
sounds grotesque, but the cloth is
really artistic and effective.
1t is astonishing how much can be
done to make window attractive. One
of the prettiest ideas for either the
nursery, living rooms or den is the use
Of transparent pictures. These trans
parencies can be made by any pho
tographer from views made by the
amateur photographer. or from beauti-
full pictures.
Flower and landscape pictures are
desirable, but in the matter of selec-
ton individual taste has to be consult
ed. The transparencies are always
framed to keep the pictures from COM
ing In contact with the window panes
in cold weather. A good size for each
picture is S%x9 inches.
A pretty idea which was carried out
in model nursery was the use OF
Mother Goose and Kate Greenway fig
ures in transparencles. This window
was always the center Of attraction to
the little people. and II kept them in
the sunshine when they we're indoors.

with fuchia fringes made in this way.
The double skirt, whose tunic is slight
ly pointed at the front and edged
deeply with fringes, escapes the
ground all around. A pelerine cape
bordered in the same way hid all of
the bodice but the plain puffed sleeves,
which came barely to the elbow.

Reproduced from Paris Models.
Year after year the toilettes which
are designed for the Partisan Fete des
Fleurs are reproduced for the Ameri-
can market. This season is no excep-
ton to the rule, and since the dress
lest of the new styles are extraVa-
gantly picturesque, some of these
gowns are adorably lovely.
Taken en- masse ii is noticed that
the most effective skirts with these
elegant costumes train to some degree
and are made to look only moderately
full. The prevailing bodice is in blouse
form, and the laces used are of the
thinnest variety, chantilly and lierre

Not a single skirt of the whole of

Each and every one displayed a garn-

America, and includes altogether new
designs. OF these. perhaps the most
striking was set consisting of bed
spread, dressing table set, small table
cover, mats and splasher for the
wash stand.
The lace for the spread was woven
in squares and oblongs, and then con-
nected by pieces of fine lace A quaint
feature of the table cover, spiasher
and the bedspread was that each of
them represented a scene in some Bib
lical story.
On a table cover the sacrifice of
Isaac was neatly told in four scenes
and enclosed in a beautiful border of
conventionalized flowers. The ro-
nance of Ruth and Boaz, in nine
scenes, adorned the splasher and on
a bedspread was detailed the domestic
history of King Ahasuerus and Queen
Esther.

harmony must be observed in Joining
the different pieces. For instance. the
central bit may be a large lace dia-
mond. Squares of lace set diagonally
to the center should then be inter
spersed with squares of plain mate
rial. Outside these may come border
of lace or of lace and plain material
combined.
The darned net lace work once so
popular affords the only means of i'm
itating the figure work, for, unfor-
tunately, only conventionalized flow
ers and geometrical designs adorn
lace curtains. While at close range
the darned net does not at all re-
senble the filet lace, at a considerable
distance the lack of similarity is not
so StrikinN.
Even screen covers are fashioned
of this heavy old lace, the intention
of the designer being to provide some
thing ornamental rather than useful,
although with a backing of some
thick silk or bright crepe, the screen
is made both beautiful and effective.

Scriptural subjects were painted on
some of the antique chests, and these
have been we'll initiated by modern
workmen. The painted panel is set
deep in the wood and framed by a
wide band of moulding. Carved f1g-
ures, supporting the corners, and
deliberately designed lids are features
of the painted chests.
The most ancient designs are the
heavily carved ones. Those who are
versed in the history of furniture can
tell to nicely the age of chest by
the style of carving and quality of the
wood. The earlier Renaissance speci-
mems are almost priceless, and even
copies of them are expensive. In ap-
pearance they are not unlike coffin.
There is usually a rightly carved base,
the long shallow body above it being
slightly curved. The lid projects over
the body, and is less deeply cut than
the sides.
A more modern Renaissance chest,
and a style which is more frequently
copied, is embellished with small
panels, on which appear convention
allied foliage designs in line work.
The shading is burnt into the wood.
Gilded and enamelled Golfers are
also to be seen, but they are eigh-
teenth century work, and represent
the period of decadence.
The modern household Golfer is
usually lined with silk or an art fab
ric. Plenty of tiny pockets are scat
tered over the lining, and in these are
placed sachets for pertaining the con-
tents of the box. The chests are con-
venient receptacles for linen, bed
cloths, draperies or garments not in
use.
Those who can afford a cedar chest
need have no fear of moths. AL
though these ornamental boxes cost
more than trunks, they will last a
lifetime. They are distinctly decora-
tive, and may be made to fit any va
cant niche in a small room. The price
varies with the style of decoration
and wood. Some are comparatively
