Blue and White Japanese Ware Is a
Wise Selection.

japanese china, and the variety of
pieces to be found is constantly in
creasing, says Keith s Magazine. There
is one design which has scenes of rural
life with numerous figures, in which
one finds covered vegetable dishes and
soup tureens, sauceboat and stand
and soup plates, as well as plates and
open dishes. While not specially
cheap, the vegetable dishes costing

IS cents and the sauceboat IS cents,
they are of quite fine china, and have
a distinction absent from the conven-
tional dinner service. Smaller pieces
in the same pattern are disproportion-
ately cheap. Strange to say, one finds
the almost obsolete bonedish in these
oriental wares.
Delightful pieces for the country
house table also are seen in the new
ware closely resembling the German
stoneware, but of lighter and bright
err brown than that made in Luxem-
bourg. It is considerable cheaper than

The hall is the first room to be en-

USEFULNESS AND BEAUTY
Every Piece of Furniture Should Be
Tested by These Rules.

When William Morris made public
his creed of furnishing, that part of
the world which was sufficiently inter
ested to notice him at all fairly gasped
at his radical ideas. That nothing
should be tolerated except something
which had definite, practical use, and
that every one Of those something's
should be made beautiful on absolutely
simple lines, was the burden of his
creed, advanced at a time when all
sorts of elaborate monstrosities were
introduced under the title of house dec
grafton.
But William Morris lived to see his
theories accepted as worthy Of prac
tical demonstration. More and more
houses are being furnished each year
r reuI in an arraneement Which SIG s1,g
gests taste rather than a lavish ex
penditure Of wealth, and which proves
satisfying both from standpointz Of

artistic beauty and from that Of use
fulness.
The first point to make is that paper
and floor coverings and the furniture
which is to go with them are all in har-s
mony. Many a room which cannot be
fnitely more attractive by being rid
of part of its, furniture and fully half
of it's pictures and bric-a-brac. Strip
it down to first principles and see what
you have to work from and with. Per
haps the various chairs in your house
need onlytto be sorted out--un conscious
ly the wrong types have drifted to-
gether, when they need nothing but
readjusting.
Let your rugs be few and as good
as you can afford, avoiding striking
effects and strong colors, for the same
reason that you avoid an elaborate
frame for good photographAyou
| don't want rug or frame to be conspic-
nous; they are only part of a setting.
Don't get any furniture except some
thing that there is positive need for,
and test everything you get to see if
it fulils that purpose perfectly. Make
point of having every chair comfort
able; there's nothing more astonishing
than the number of uncomfortable
chairs which are made every year, SO
that ordering chairs home at random
is mistake:
Watch the grouping of furniture as
carefully as you watch the choice of
it-keep chairs of the same general
character together instead of mixing
fancy rockers with big mission chairs
and perhaps adding a fragile little gold
parlor chair to the group. \
Let your ornaments be as simple as
possible, and don t crowd them. A pref
ty candlestick and a vase of flowers
are enough for the average table.
Colonial furniture, with it's beauty Of
simple line, lends itself particularly wei
to the simple, almost bare treatment
of rooms, for then every piece has room
enough in which to show it's own beau
/ ty off.
