would always follow such a good example. It is very usual to 

 find in all classes of work the most elaborate organisation for its 

 production and distribution, and in many cases that could be 

 instanced no expense is spared in these directions. \Vhen, how 

 ever, it comes to the cost of the design, which is to be the inspira 

 tion lor all this energy, stinginess often appears to be the rule, so 

 far as the reward of the artist is concerned, with the result that 

 the best men will have, nothing to do with it. Here, then, is a 

 concrete case of monev well spent, and the good design has 

 outlived generations of bad ones. In fact, it only needed the 

 assistance of Mr. John Kinross, who remodelled this and other 

 similar eighteenth century d( sii^ns to suit modern requirements, 

 to give them a new lease of life that mav easily last till 2OII. 

 I here are many embryo Iluworths, one hopes, now at the 

 Academy schools, and further comment is needless. 



An illustration is given ot a grate with enrichment modelled 

 by Mr. Laurence Turner, quite admirable in its bold luscious- 

 ness, which well accords with modern principles in its 

 sloped fireclay back and economiser underneath. Another 

 polished steel fireplace is shown of the barless type (Fig. .)(&amp;gt;) ; the 

 necessity of providing the fresh air inlets is well met by placing 

 them in a step kept within the jambs of the fireplace, and not 

 projecting into the room as a raised hearth, as is sometimes done. 

 A further illustration (Fig. 44) is of that most useful article, the 



cast-iron mantel register, for use when economy is essential and when it is desired to avoid the 

 ot a separate grate, with tiles surrounding it and a wooden mantel. This one. designed by Mi 

 Kennedy, is very suitable lor bedrooms and the like, and seems a practical fireplace. These nott 

 hardly be complete without mention ol those most useful contrivance:-, anthracite stoves. Tin 

 essential difference is that, instead of being a box of lire set in a wall, thev have made a step i
