The Decorative Odd Bit 
HE home lover who is on the qui vive for interest— 
ing odd pieces of furniture that will add distinc— 
tion and piquancy to the decorative scheme will find 
considerable pleasure in a number of good-looking new 
things 
that are 
being 
shown in 
the shops, 
among 
which the 
new iride- 
scent glass 
is most 
conspic- 
uous.

faintly 
gleaming 
tints to the 
richest 
rainbow 
hues, this 
cal auses 
comes in 
manifold 
forms de- 
signed 
both for cut flowers and gold fish bowls. One of the 
finest I have seen is a very flat one, its bowl being about 
7 inches wide by 3 inches deep, while the flat lip, meas- 
uring eight inches, gives an approximate diameter of 
23 inches. Its colors beggar description. Flashing 
from its surface were the most gorgeous shades of red, 
orange, green, blue and purple. And the most inter- 
esting point of all this is that the proud owner of this 
splendid piece valued its beauty so highly that he hada 
table especially made for it, placing it before a mirror 
that reflects back its glories. 
Nor is the odd piece less interesting when it is in the 
form of the more familiar lacquer, and particularly 
its color is that luminous Chinese red which is so de- 
corative and satisfying under all conditions. 
The tea table, pictured here, is finished in that fas- 
cinating color that will always be the convincing argu- 
ment that mere man’s love of red is well grounded! 
Excellently executed, with heavily raised work in the 
top it will prove an effective addition to any living room. 
Among the simpler and more inexpensive articles in 
glass and crystal there is to be found an interesting set 
of three pieces for cut flowers. This set is composed of 
a low fluted dish twelve inches wide, with two 93 inch 
vases large enough for a single rose and 23 inches wide 
at the base. This combination also comes in both 
black-and dark blue crystal and, with two pretty love 
birds in grey porcelain, costs only $9.00. There is no 
more fascinating arrangement for pale pink roses than 
to float them on black crystal.

The raised lacquer pattern of ivory, gold and black, relieves 
the intensity of the Chinese red with which this excellent tea 
table is finished, making it admirable for living room use
