There is such a rush after old-fash-
toned things in these days that every
one seems to have turned antiquarian
and inclined to overlook the beauties
of song of the modern works of art and
craft. In the A. A. Hurd home on Ty-
Ter street, is a suite of furniture made
in Chicago within the last year and
given to Mrs. Hurd as Christmas
present. The set is of solid mahogany,
made on the order of the Colonial
straight lines and massive beauty. The
pieces were all made by hand and
hand carved. The bed is a four-poster,
with delicate and intricate carving on
the posts. and the side, top and foot
pieces plain, showing the grain OF the
wood. The bureau is made in the same
substantial way, the carved posts sup
porting the mirror reaching above the
glass itself. A desk and chairs com
plete the suite. which is extremely
rich and handsome.
