Some Good Things for the Small House 



Mr. James Collier Marshall, Director of the Decorating Service of The Garden Magazine's Advertising Dept.. will solve your problems of home 

 decoration — color schemes, hangings, floor coverings, art objects and interior arrangements, making purchases at the most favorable prices. This 

 service is free to our readers. Address inquiries to "Inside the Garden Home," The Garden Magazine, 1 1 West 32nd Street, New York. 



THERE is no place in the house where artistic effects can be achieved so easily as in the dining room. Here 

 all is a matter of taste in selection and careful arrangement. Once the furnishings are decided upon the 

 decorative and useful adjuncts apparently follow of their own accord. 

 All the articles shown here are well suited for use in the small house where costs must be reckoned, and of 

 those the dishes at the foot of the page are especially worth while. Note 

 its unusual shape, the ribs of which are outlined with dull gold, that adapts 

 it for use either with antique or modern furniture. An open stock set, it 

 is very reasonable, the whole service of 108 pieces costing only $68.50. 



The cut glasses seen here, 



r - ■ 1 copied from the old Waterford 



JUKa BBBfiSMtT '' pattern, will be excellent com- 



^H ' : '-'"-■■■"' _^^^ panions for the white and gold 



^^^^^MMHPW^^^" china, though, of course, it 



not so cheap. This fine new 



replica of an old design is per- 



M haps better looking than its pro- 



■ H totype since the glass is clearer 



and the cuttings more sparkling 

 for that reason. There are seven 

 different glasses in the complete 

 set — cocktail, claret, sherry, liq- 

 ueur and the three shown here, 

 watergoblet #50 per dozen, cham- 

 pagne $45, and finger bowl $50. 

 ^^^^^^^ Aside from these staples for 



^Bp^B^^'^^H^ table use there sunn- very 



pK """^k teresting things for individual 



"~^ ^ use. A little yellow pottery cof- 



fee pot with creamer and sugar 



tray arranged in stack form is one of these and may be had for the 

 trifling sum of $1.25. It is excellent for the breakfast tray. 

 An oval tin tray about 15 inches long is also an interesting and useful adjunct of the small house. A brilliant 

 parrot is wonderfully painted on a soft green ground and framed by the black rim. Price, $3. 

 Tables are always good and there can never be too many of them. 



"Only once in my experience," said a well known decorator, "have I seen a house that seemed to have too 

 many tables — they were everywhere and of every de- 

 scription. But as they were all in use I feel obliged to 

 admit they were necessary. However, the trouble lay 

 not in their number but in the fact that they had not 

 been properly selected for use with one another. Had 

 this point been carefully attended one's attention 

 would not have been attracted to their presence." 



Never was a truer statement made regarding any 

 object of decoration though it doubtless applies more to 

 tables than to other things. Tables are very necessary 

 and several are needed in nearly every room, but they 

 must be suited not only to their surroundings but to 

 each other since here the comparison is keenest. 



The lyre drop-leaf table shown here is essentially a 

 living room or hall piece, though it might under cer- 

 tain circumstances be used in a man's sitting room 

 where it would be excellent as a smoke table since its 

 dimensions, 2 feet tall and 20 inches wide are well adapt- 

 ed for this use. Its lyre design suits it well to the Sheraton, Heppelwhite and Early American types of furnishing, 

 and at #35 it is very reasonable. 



Entirely different is the dainty tray topped stand seen beside it. This is distinctly Italian in design, its 



whole top being charmingly painted in ivory, or green, 

 after the florid Florentine manner. Besides, it is dis- 

 tinctly feminine and should be used only in those parts 

 of the house that are strictly the woman's domain — the 

 dining room, beside the tea table and in the boudoir. 

 Beautifully made it sells for $41. 



Another table very satisfactory for living room and 

 hall is of mahogany with four carved spool legs, two 

 of which fold in very closely, permitting the round top 

 to tip up, like an old fashioned tip table in effect though 

 far more staple and strong. It will appeal especially to 

 those who must conserve space and who need some com- 

 bination arrangement for tea service and cards. Of 

 mahogany it sells at $17.50. 



There is also a low mahogany stand patterned after 

 the Louis XV designs, which is intended for telephone 

 use. This has a capacious undershelf for telephone 

 books and a shallow drawer in one end for a memo pad 

 and pencil. This is quite inexpensive.
