NOTES ON THE GAMES
Clapper at short was the star
fielder for Hope. He is as fast
as they make them, and is
also leading the team in batting.
Had Armstrong had perfect
support in the first game at
Cooperstown his opponents
would have had only one score.
Higbee and Schons are a bat
terry that Luverne can be proud
of.
A large part of the crowd at
the Cooperstown games was
composed of fans from Hope and
Luverne.

Holstein in the second game al

The distinguishing mark of all
Sheraton pieces is the square taper
ing leg, used on chairs, tables and
sideboards.
Queen Anne chairs and tables have
curved legs of the handy shape, ter
minating in what is known as the

The William and Mary designs in
dining room furniture have turned
legs, with an inverted bell-shaped
ball near the upper portion of the
leg. 1t is easier to determine the
style of period furnishing by the
shape of the leg than any, other de-

All of these styles are rendered
either in mahogany or walnut The
William and Mary designs are occa-

more appropriate IN the finer grained

mahogany takes the place of our
modern extension table and the
Windsor chairs bear out the tradi-

The styles in mahogany dining
room furniture which are most uni
vcrsally used are the Colonial. Shera-
ton, Queen Anne, Adam, William
and Mary and Chippendale. There
are simple distinguishing marks
which are easily detected and which
will help US to know the different
period styles.
Colonial pieces are usually heavy
in proportion The sideboards are
large, built in solid cupboard ar

a simple scroll or claw and ball foot.
The tables invariably have the CEN

are turned, with carved or fluted dec

OF intelligent discrimination can be
our only guide in such cases.
A poi1' which many people fail to
understaut is the fact that the china
and bric-a-brac which we use as
decorative objects in the dining room
become a part of the decorative
scheme. | have seen many dining
rooms made grotesQue by a blatent
display of a dozen different varieties
of china and glassware The old idea
OF a plate rail crowded with every
conceivable kind of decorative OBJ
Ject was worse than abominable. A
plate rail can add a certain charm
to the room if we use good judgment
in selecting appropriate objects for
It. Two or three decorated plates.
an interesting china pitcher or bit
of pewter is often very interesting,
but do not make that fatal mistake
OF overlooking it.
This is also true of the sidchoard
and the mantel shelf. The dining
room should not be used as display
room for all the china and glassware.
which should be kept in its proper
place in the china closet = pantry.
Illustration No. s will give the
reader an excellent idea for evolving
an interesting dining room scheme at
small expense. A panel effect is
created by placing wood stripping
three inches in width and a quarter
of an inch in thickness on the wall
after the manner shown. II is I'm

molding. The whole wall is then
painted in an ivory-white tone. A

is purchased and bits of the designs

trieze effect. If the windows are of
the ordinary uninteresting type. they
can be made to appear like small
paned windows by having racks made
and adjusted in the way indicated

adds individuality to the pieces. This
sideboard can be purchased for Thir-
ty-tlve Dollars. The other pieces
which match this sideboard can be
purchased at proportionate prices.
An unusually dignifed dining
room, which reflects the modern
spirit in decorating, is shown in illus
tration No. 8. The cleverly designed
furniture in mahogany finish is par
ticularly appropriate for the small
apartment or suburban dining room.
The design of these pieces may be
attributed to the period of Charles H.,
the twisted leg being the distinguish
ing characteristic. Although usually
rendered in oak, Charles II. pieces
are sometimes made in mahogany. as
in the present instance. These pieces
are all reasonable in price, consider
ing the quality of workmanship and
finish. The sideboard is priced at
Forty Dollars, the forty-eight inch
extension table is Thirty-three Dol
lars. The armchair, which is fitted
with cushion seat covered in tan
leather, may be purchased for Thir-
teen Dollars, and the side chair for
Nine Fifty.
The walls in this room are paneIed
in one and one-half inch wood
mouldings, giving the effect of
wood paneled room. The ceiling is
beamed and French doors are used
The entire walls, woodwork and
ceiling are painted in a soft ivorv
tone. The window treatment is IN,
usually effective. A black ground

tWiStcu 4eR.
Jacobean furniture should be used
with stained woodwork, or if painted
woodwork is desired, it should be in
a soft putty color. This is also true
of Charles II. furniture. However,
if we choose the style in mahogany,
the cream or ivory woodwork will be
suitable.
The choice of the style of furni-
ture which we are to use in the din
ing room depends largely on our in
dividual preferences. Ali the styles
which | have mentioned are appro-
pirate for the average room. How
ever, It is in no sense necessary that
we purchase a set of furniture. If
we are careful in our selections, the
dining room will often show greater
character if we assemble pieces re-
gardless of period styles. We may
have in our possession a good table
or sideboard and find it necessary to
add the other pieces. Do not be dis
coursged if you cannot find designs
which exactly match. In fact, do not
even try, for if W. select pieces
which harmonic, no matter what
style they may be, the room will
prove even more successful. A
Sheraton chair may be used with a
Colonial sideboard and a gate legged
table, and we will not have trans
gressed a single rudiment of & ID
taste so long as the various pieces
look we'll together. We, naturally,
must bear in mind that there are
certain limitations when it comes to
combining odd styles, and our sense

ture were used, high ornamented
with cheap and poorly designed deco
rations of all kinds. As long as the
furniture was covered with tawdry
scrolls, knobs, spindles and machine
carved ornamentation, it seemed to
command the respect and admiration
of everyone
The dining room seemed to suffer
even more than the other rooms of
the house and perhaps the so-called
golden oak dining room sets sur
passed anything that had ever been
created in hideous furniture. The
sideboard, particularly, was an OBJ
Ject so grotesque in design and finish
that we can only look back on the
period and wonder if the purchaser
really considered them beautiful.
If the dining room is to be fur
nished in mahogany, we have a num-
Der of excellent styles from which
to choose. The Sheraton with its
slender graceful tapering legs is per-
haps the most popular. In illustra-
ton No. ! will be seen an interest
ing set of Sheraton furniture.
The treatment of this room is ex-
tremely simple and expresses good
taste in its decorative scheme. The
arrangement of the sideboard is par
ticularly pleasing, with the mirror
placed above and the two quaint pic
lures on either side. The use of ma
hogany doors with ivory white wood
work is appropriate for Colonial
rooms. A good design in a ladder
back chair harmonizes we'll with the
other pieces.
