crane, and irons. shovel and tongs, all Of
old and simple design, are to be found
here. About the room at various places
are to be found the little old black ket-
ties, which the Misses Jones have taken
as their trade mark. Even the curtains
which daintily frame the windows, have
embroidered in their corners these little
kettles. The various kinds of confec-
tionery made were most temptingly dis
played in attractive baskets and the
guests were asked to partake of the vari-
Gus kinds.
Built-in cupboards with loaded glass
doors also held their display of the can
dies. The floor here is painted a soft
green and brown and white homespuE
rug is before the fireplace. On Tuesday
carnations and chrysanthemums were
used for decorating here and in the other
rooms as we'll.
On the opposite side of the hall, we
find what is known as the north parlor.
This will be used principally as living
or rest room. which has been made most
attractive with its old fashioned furnish
ings. This, too. has a fireplace and is
papered the same as the room opposite.
Little cupboards are very plentiful in the
rooms and these are used for the storing
of the boxes, wrapping papers, etc. +,
necessary to the carrying on of the BUSH
| ness.
Another attractive feature which was
noticed as one passed from room to room
were the old hinges which adorned the
doors, making them very attractive by
| the marked contrast of the black of the
hinges and the white woodwork.
From the hall one also passes into the
storeroom, where the candy is kept in
tin boxes, all appropriately labeled with
the various kind of confections, AMI
which are not piled one on top of each
other on the shelves, but are so that al
can be opened at once and thus affords an
excellent opportunity for packing the as
sorted boxes. A small hall divides the
storeroom from the work room. The
latter room is another one of the very
attractive rooms of the house and here
one finds two old fashioned tables, one
of cherry and the other of birch. 1t is
at these tables that the Misses Jones
and their assistant, Miss Ryan, wrap
and pack their candies for the markets.
Here, too. is fireplace, and over it on
the mantel one finds pieces of rare old
china, candle sticks and the like. In
fact, all about the various rooms are
antique ARTICLES Wnlcn the Misses Jones
have gathered from time to time and
which they have placed about their
rooms as though part of the furnish
ings, but which are really for sale.
A modern note is struck in the kitchen.
which is just off the work room, by the
electric range and its shining kettle and
other apurtenances. A coal range is
also located here and two work tables
and shelves. The actual making of the
candy only is done here. A pantry with
we'll stocked shelves opens out Of this
kitchen.
Opening also from the work room is an
office, which also can be reached from an
out door entrance. This has among its
other furnishings a beautiful old fash
Toned desk, which harmonizes splendidly
with its surroundings.
Going from the office to the rooms up
stairs we find four chambers, one of
| which is for the occupancy of the sisters,
while the others are at present used for
the storage of boxes, of which there
seems to be thousands. wrapping paper,
