There never was a time in the his
tory of interior decorating home fur
nishings when selections could be
made for every room in the house In
furniture in all the important periods"
according to Homer M. Helfrich of
| Stone G. Thomas, who returned last
week from Grand Rapids, Mich.
where he attended the semi-annual
convention of furniture men from all
America.
The advance In prices on furniture
today is less than on most any other
line Of merchandise" continued Mr..
| Helfrich, and there are more new
ideas brought out in furniture than
ever before in the history of furniture
making"
Explaining the quite remarkable
fact that furniture prices have not
advanced more than five or ten per
cent, Mr.. Helfrich says that the
makers have cut down their profits
unrelentingly. In past years these
profits have been rather high and
now in the time of high prices on
everything and in spite of the high
cost Of Materials wood, polish and
Others, the manufacturers are selling
the better furniture at almost the old
figures. There is a rise in price on
Helfrich.
i Japanese and Chinese Sets.
The latest style seems 10 be the
japanese and Chinese lacquered va
riety. There are raised Japanese and
Chinese characters and the surface of
the articles is generally heavily
lacquered in black. This sort of finish
may be had in most all pieces OF fur
niture.
In dining room sets, the William
| and Mary and the Queen Anne period
| designs are in favor this season. The
tea.wagon has taken the place OF the
serving table in the dining room and
is proving more dainty and practical.
In the sitting room and parlor
suites the chairs with cahe seats and
backs are still in vogue while this
seasons newest is in the chair with
looe cushions with velour and tapestry
There are large tapestry, oVer-stufed
| davenports, lounging chairs and nre-
side and wing rockers.

any and old ivory take the lead. The
Adam is rapidly being sold out to
come back no more, says Mr.. Helfrich
| Because of this the few remaining
| Adam period sets in town are being
sold intact while the newer designs in
more copious supplies are sold by the
| piece, if desired.
Breakfast room and sun room sets
are shown in all finishes, including
ivory, brown, black and white, grey

GET OPIUM ABOARD

Customs Officers Raid Mauna
Kea lust Before Sailing
Tip Proves Good

Seventeen tins Of opium was the net
gain Of raid made by customs house
officers led by Inspector Gilbert Nc;
Niekoll, on board the Inter Island flag
ship Mauna Kea just before she sailed
for Hilo yesterday morning. The op,
Jun was found In the fremen's room.
This is the first raid to be made on
board vessels Of the local feet and
came as great surprise. II was not
followed by arrests hut X is believed
that the government will have war
rants for somebody before Il closes the
ease.
The tip on which the officials acted
came TO them, II is stated, just before
the sailing time of the vessel ut ten
o'clock yesterday morning and they
acted Immediately. The tip enabled
them TO 60 directly TO the room where
the dope was concealed and a short
search revealed the seventeen tins.
This was not the only pishap that
befell the Hilo packet before she got
out, as for the first time in months
she was late in steaming by three quar-,
ters OF an hour. The trouble this time
arose over the fact that the bulk Of
the mail from the mainland, through
the perspecnity Of the San Francisco
postofice, was put on the Oranje, the
Dutch liner arriving yesterday morning,
instead Of on the Matsonia which beat
her into the harbcr by substantial
margin.
The packet mail had not been sep,
arated from the letter mail on board
the Dutch vessel, either, and the local
postoffice lost considerable time in get
ting the mail for Hawaii county sep
arated, the Mauna Kea's delay being
due to that reason.
