just now Is that 1t throttles individ
uality. The output of furniture
from the reform or arts and crafts
factories, is almost as monotonous
as that from the machines which
these arts and crafts workmen ex-
ecrate so savagely. Your home and
your neighbor's will both have the
same character; and either will be
the pattern for friend Jim's home in
Minnesota, and cousin Johns in
Louisiana.
So while those who love simplicity
will rejoice at the progress of the
movement they will be glad to note
that the monopoly in simple furni-
ture is passing away. The commercial
factories are subduing their designs.
New arts and crafts shops are spring
ing up everywhere Not hard wood
alone-heavy ash, oak, mahogany,
and chestnut-but fine poplar, bam-
boo, rattan, and willow are being
used simply and artistically. The
outlook is that If we who do the
buying are ready to use plain furni-
ture we shall not have to wait long
to obtain a variety of it

Reforming Our Furniture.

With American momentum, we are
reforming our furniture. No more
piano finish, no more glued carvings.
no more stamped woodworking but
sincerity, hereafter, and lines
straight, straight lines. A few have
protested. taking the ground that
they did not want kitchen furniture
all through the house; but veneer
and curlycaes might nave been ex-
pected TO have a few friends; and the
reform is going on without stopping
Eve" 10 notice them
On the whole, this reform has been
sadly needed. The furniture factories
were covering so much rip-rap and
sappy wood with their polish that
even costly pieces fell apart when il
rained. IL is strange that Americans,
utilitarian as they are, did not dis
cover this weakness and correct il.
but the reform, now il has come. is
less a concession to the pocketbook
than to the eye.
Several dangers underlie this
movement. One is that commercial
ism Will seize the new lines as trade
getters anc then use them to cover
up the same old knots, glue and rip
rap Another is that the introduc-
ton of simple furniture into homes
now equipped with grilles. throws,
Tides, scarfs. spindle-legged chairs,
and wobbly tables. will make the
hodge-podge seem worse than it does
now by force of contrast These are
Transient dangers II the American
people are such geese that they are
willing 10 be buncoed. they have
only themselves TO blame, and If
the period of transition to better
things Is unpleasant they will proba-
bly, only hurry up the process of

The Death of Irving.

The news came across the seas
last night that Henry Irving's long
life If service, usefulness, and kind
hess had come to its end. that he had
died, as he had Hved-at work, and
that to the very last his vision was
clear, his spirit strong, his courage
high, his heart serene. 1t was a
sad message to that wide-spreading
people which feels the beauty of art,
message that carried with H. a
sense of personal loss, but 1t was a
sadder message still TO those who
honor sincerity in life and love gen.
tleness.
Yet the tidings were not altogether
unexpected. For years his valiant
spirit has been fighting physical
weakness and when in America two
years ago he himself felt and ex-
pressed in his farewell to the Amer
lean audience" as he termed it. a
premonition that he might not come
to us again and that, maybe, he was
soon to lose his place among those
who worked earnestly, but peaceful
ly. through the heat of the day.
What men at the last will say of
his art cannot now be determined.
Many will call it a thing of intellect
only. Many will dwell on those ele-
ments OF his personality which pro-
truded into all his impersonations
forgetful that these same elements
OF personality were the necessary
castings of great strength. Many will
count the world deep in his debt for
that as an actor he lifted the art of
acting to the greatest dignity il has
ever attained. Many will account him
the greatest character actor, especial
iy the greatest Shylock, OF all our
Engiish-speaking actors. Many will
remember him as imaginative, ro-
mantle, scholarly, puissant, poetical;
and those whose lives touched his
Will look after him with so much per-
sonal affection that they will the
more and more idealize his art in
lheir increasing understanding of his
noble and generous purposes.
But this much is clear even now.
He wds the greatest figure of our
stage. He never forgot the actors
hrst requirement of being a good
and true man. He never permitted
the craftsman's pleasure in his call
ing to obscure the larger responsi-
bility of his art, the responsibility
to teach all his life the value of
character and the beauty of ideals
And, so, being a good and true man
an experienced and expert crafts
man, and sincere artist, his inf1u-
ence grew with his every appearance
on the stage. and it will live in the
doctrine of hard working, noble serv-
ing, and plain living, which his life
so fully exemplified, long after the
last OF us who knew him shall have
passed away.
