Sketches Old House.

Mr.. Fairbanks said he found the
old lady bit testy when he introduced
himself as member Of the Fairbanks
family. She said that the country was
full of folks who claimed to be a part
Of the Fairbanks family and that they
"pestered her almost to death Mr.
Fairbanks succeeded in modifying her,
however, and she not only consented d
that he make a sketch OF the old
house, but also gave him some hand
painted buttons, which she said had
been in the family for 100 years, as a
present to Mr., Fairbanks daughters.
They are kept rs cherished possessions.
Mr.. Fairbanks describes the old
house as of quaint architecture. The
roof slopes to such an angle that it
is necessary to stoop to enter the low
doorways. The entrance is into q spa

young Award Fairbanks, the boy sculp

In 1888 Jonathan Fairbanks came
from Sowerby, in the West Riding OF
Yorkshire, England, to Boston, Mass
Three years later he built home at
Dedham, Mass, from oak timber which
he had brought with him from Eng
land. The house still stands. as it was
originally built, with the possible ad'
diton of few rooms. 1t is the Oldest
dwelling house in New England which
for the same period Of time has been
continuously owned and occupied by
lineal descendants Of one family. Only
few houses of like age remain and
some OF these are in ruins.
1t is also a remarkable fact that the
Fairbanks estate has never had mort
gage upon it, showing that the family
was always IN prosperous clrcum'
stances.
j. B. Fairbanks Of this city, father
of Award Fairbanks and himself an
artist who traces lineal descent from
Jonathan Fairbanks, visited the old

Leo Fairbanks has turned his atUen-
tion particularly to sculpture and has
done work which has attracted con.
siderable attention. A bust of John
Hafen, the well known Utah painter,
who died two years ago and bust OF
Angus NJ Cannon have been especially
commended. He is now engaged in
making some designs for church dccora-
tions and is modelling Il pillar on the
| lines of the sego lily, which he will
submit for consideration for the new
state capitol. a piece of statuary in
TO which the sculptor worked consider

as ''The Tacklc.N
The really unusual member, OF the
family. however, is young Award. The
boy was born in Provo. while his father
and mother were making their home
there, and came here with his family
about eight years ago. He did not show
any inclination toward art until he was
II years of age. He entered a room
whore his brother had class in draw
ing one day and was seen to look at the
! class at work in a wistful sort of way.
He was asked if he would like to try
his hand and he said he would. He was
set at work modelling his pet rabbit in
clay.
The work was so good that the broth
er was astounded and the boys father
soon afterward took him to New York.
Some difficulty was experienced in get
ting permission for the boy to work in
the Metropolitan Art museum on ac-
count of his youth, His father WAS told
that cit was no place for children. -
but he succeeded in having the boy Civ

Pioneers of Utah.

The Utah branch Of the family de-
scending through Jonas, Jabez and

went into winter quarters. There
Joseph died and Henry enlisted in

AFTERNOON TEA TABLE
ACCESSORIES THAT ACCOMPANY
THE CHEERING CUP.
Pretty Surroundings, Easily Acquired,
Add Greatly to the Pleasure of the
Gatherings in Closing Hours
of the Afternoon.

II you have not a regular tea table,
an easy way of serving the cheering
cup that is more cheering than
in the late afternoon, is to have a Jap
anese tea basket and keep it in an
inconspicuous part of the living room,
where it will be always in readiness.
These baskets, according to their size,
hold a service for from two to a dozen
persons, and, in addition to the alco-
hol stove, accommodate a teapot,
creamer, sugar bowl, cups, saueers and
plates of Old Canton, royal medallion,
Satsuma, Delft, willow or Semedi and
the various familiar wares made in
Japan. Best Of all, the thickly wadded
basket .makes an ideal tea cozy and
one which Is easily handled.
When only two persons are to be
served with tea, the simplest way of
making the beverage is to use a pair
of tea balls. These come in solid or
German silver attached to. handles Of
celluloid, carved deerhorn or silver,
and none OF them are too expensive
for the woman of moderate income to
get along without.
For the tea table, which is kept set,
always in readiness to be wheeled or
carried into the living room, there are
innumerable little convenlences. One
of these ~conveniences is the alright
tea caddy of Japanese pewter, chased
brass, carved bamboo, plain FURNISHED
copper or tin-lined lacquer, and an
other is the Lazy Susie. Lazy Susie
is q tidbit tray with a nickel-plated
frame and three glass shelves for hold
ing sandwiches and cakes.
Every tea table aow has its tiny
jaTdiniere, either of hand-stamped
Egyptian brass, of Japanese split BAN
boo or of silver deposit; it's fruit dish
of white lacquered perforated zinc and
its bread baaket OF pierced silver with
square. upright center handle.
The lighting of the tea table is of
vast importance, for, of course, the IL
Elimination must come from above the
head of the hostess, lest it cast deep
shadows upon her face and make it
look old and worn. From the wall
ear which the tea equipage usually
is placed there should extend a two or
three arm brass sconce with shaded
candles, or a sconce with inverted in
candescent lights with inner globes
covered with square glass shades of
an effective color. Lacking the sta
tionary lights, 1t is nice to have a tall
lamp Of Damascus brass with match
ing shade or a pair Of Japanese brass
and copper candlesticks with copper
shades done in wickerwork design.

NOVELTIES TO MARK TIME
Watches Are in style at the Pres
ent Moment.

Father Time is no longer to pass
disregarded ever by the most care
less Of pleasure seekers, for the dial
Is everywhere to found. Every wom-
an is wearing a watch, not on the left
breast Of her blouse, as formerly, but
on her bracelet Of slender gold, wire
or twisted silver, in the back of her
vanity case which hangs from her
c~hatelaine and in the handle top of
her umbrella.
The large clock is no longer tOlerat-
ed in the drawing room or the
morning room, but Father Time is in
these apartments just the same, since
small watches are set into the pheto-
graph frames or sterling silver or oval
shape and set on bSll feet; OF round
shape and easel type; of the Marie
Antoinette order in French gilt, and
Of ivory-1nished white celluloid on
first empire lines.
On the dressing table of the mon
dame one Is apt to find Time in the
shape Of a clever little contrivance
of silver gilt fligree. By touching a
spring underneath this toy clock, all
four sides let down, the top falls fat
and or the inner side Of each section
Is attached a fancy case for pins, a
tiny puff for powder a smelling bottle
and a miniature mirror.
