An Italian Dining Room,

In taking up period furnishing for
the dining room we begin with Ital-
ian Renaissance style as we did in
treating of living rooms. We are not
ignoring the fact that there were
architectural styles before this. for
the Egyptians. Greeks, Romans and
some other early nations had decided
styles of their own. Then there was
the great Gothic period. which diff.
fered radically in the principle Of
building from any that had preceded
it. We sometimes hear of rooms "be-
ing done" in the Egyptian" or Pom
peian" manner: however, these are
nearly always large, semi-public places
such as hotels, restaurants, or per-
haps a room in one of the SILVER
Screen" homes. In medieval times
4here were practically no pieces OF
Furniture, or Very simple pieces, such
As boards laid across trestles to form
Il table. simple stools, now and then
b high.backed. rectangular chair and
chests richly carved with Gothic mo-
fives. But even these elementary
pieces of furniture were found only
in the homes Of the mobiles. With the
Renaissance. furniture comes into
more general use. That is why. IN de-
we always begin at the Renaissance
in Italy for Italy was the home of
this awakening of interest in the arts.
Dining Room Described.
& Let us take the dining room shown
in the sketch. The background of
room is the determining factor in its
furnishing. The walls of an Italian or
Spanish Renaissance room are nearly
always of a moderately rough tex
tured plaster in tones of gray, tan
or polychrome effect. Sometimes rich
hrocades and velvets are stretched
tight over the walls and sometimes.
though rarely. they are stenciled all
over with a damask pattern. In this
case they are of plaster. warm. deep
tan. shading in spots to yellow and
brown. giving the effect of old
plaster.
The ceiling is of wood, dark brown
and paneled in squares between the
beams

first three months of the year ex-
ceeded those issued in the correspond
ing period of last year, and the diff
Guilty of going ahead with this work
of course slows down the taking out
of further permits.
The permits issued in 205 leading
cities during the first four months of
the year were only per cent less
than those for the same period of last
year, and SO far this year the totals
have always shown a marked tend
ency to gain ground under the in
fluence of good weather.
SoftwOod production is still cur
tailed, the manufacturers seeing the
wisdom of avoiding any excess supply,
so that market prices have remained
firm. While consumer demand is be-
hind normal for this time of year, It's
gradual, seasonal growth is in fact
strengthening the weak spots in the
market, SO that softwood quotations
as whole are safely above the low
