A dark-toned bamboo jar¬ 
diniere of an unusual form 
and graceful design 
A group of articles universally appreciated. The basket writing set is lined in leather and 
is adaptable for traveling. The book blocks, clock and desk shears come in a great as¬ 
sortment, offering choice for various tastes 
Lamps of this sort 
have shades of 
favrile glass 
an attractive addition, nor a house¬ 
holder to whom it would not be ac¬ 
ceptable. 
Lamps and candlesticks are among 
the most serviceable of gifts, provided 
they are thoroughly useful and not too 
ornamental; the candlesticks particu¬ 
larly when not too suggestive of use¬ 
less bric-a-brac. Tall lamps with 
floor standards from five to six feet in 
height are again in popular favor and 
may be had in various styles, from the 
wooden standard with glazed chintz 
shade to the heavy bronze standard 
with shade of Favrile glass. Rather 
a novelty in the latter is the small 
shade only ten inches across, that is 
adjustable like the shade of a reading 
lamp, and is useful as a piano light.

Fire screens and andirons are suitable for all sorts of 
fireplace architecture. They may be had in a large 
assortment 
The small reading and desk lamps 
come in such a variety of designs that 
it is possible to make this acceptable 
gift at almost any price, and the solid 
comfort to be extracted from one of 
these little movable, adjustable lamps 
that may also be a thing of beauty, 
can scarcely be over-estimated. In 
candlesticks there are exquisite de¬ 
signs worked out in bronze that may 
be had in any finish for $5 and up, 
and the mahogany candlesticks copied 
from antiques are effective and always 
in good taste, while excellent models 
in brass are much less expensive and 
quite as serviceable. 
To the list of particularly accepta¬ 
ble gifts should be added several 
things that are useful in the bedroom.

The little prayer mats are often used as wall deco¬ 
rations on account of their soft and beautiful 
colorings

The one-piece Japanese fire screen is a present of
