The chestnut roaster is sure to be a welcome gift in the 
country house 
Exquisite colors and designs are to be had in the printed 
linen draperies 
A hanging that washes well 
Draperies and hangings like these may be had sixty or 
seventy-two inches wide for about $3.50 
A candle stick made of a sea urchin s shell, with 
a sea horse handle and heavily silvered, is quite 
appropriate for the seaside cottage 
furniture is always acceptable provided of course 
there is a place in which it is absolutely needed. 
Odd chairs are particularly suitable just at 
present, for with the revived fashion of lacquered 
furniture there are many such chairs, excellent 
copies of old pieces, that are used with furnishings 
of almost every description. Each year sees the 
introduction of at least a few tables and other 
small pieces in new shapes patterned after stand¬ 
ard models, but adapted to present day uses. In 
many cases this adaptation consists largely of 
space saving qualities, for the designers evidently 
keep the apartment dweller in mind. 
The familiar tea-wagon is now made in a small 
size, suitable for restricted quarters but still quite 
large enough to be serviceable, and a new tea- 
table of excellent design has an oval top with 
glass cover, that turns back in a frame and can be 
placed flat against the wall. Another all-round 
useful table has a circular top formed of three 
hinged leaves which, when turned down, trans¬ 
form the table into a triangular shaped affair that 
can be deposited in any odd corner. A new model 
in the worthy muffin stand has oval, instead of the 
usual circular, shelves and the quaint little box¬ 
like sewing stand that holds so much and is so 
compact, is now made with a drawer underneath 
that adds to its capacity. 
When there is a space that really demands it, 
no more acceptable gift can be found than an 
Ornamental brass or bronze sun-dials may well be 
included in the list. They should be purchased 
true for the locality of the recipient 
mirrors, copies of old models, that are unusual in 
design, and quite different from the regulation, 
so-called Colonial mirror that is evidently manu¬ 
factured by the thousand and can be found in 
every shop. Still another delightful gift for the 
householder who may have space for it is the 
cedar chest that has developed into a distinctly 
ornamental piece of furniture, with its beautifully 
grained surface and brass trimmings, and is as use¬ 
ful as it is good to look at. 
Hangings and draperies are a bit unusual as 
Christmas presents, but one is apt to be sorely 
tempted by printed linens and imported cre¬ 
tonnes with their exquisite colorings and designs. 
Whether it is only a square for a single pillow- 
cover, or an order on an upholsterer for the doing 
over of an entire room, the gift is sure to be ap¬ 
preciated, provided of course it is entirely suitable 
as to coloring and pattern. The printed linens 
that will wash beautifully and wear indefinitely 
are 60 and 72 inches wide and average about 
$3.50 a yard. 
Gifts for use on the table and in the dining¬ 
room are to be had in the greatest variety and 
can be selected without thought of space, a neces¬ 
sary consideration when making a present of a 
piece of furniture. One of the most useful of 
these is the warming stand, large enough for 
several dishes and so arranged that the top slides 
back to form a small stove, either with an alcohol 
A smoker’s reading lamp 
with convenient places 
for matches, ashes, a 
design, that is 
really worth while, 
it should be an easy 
enough matter to 
select a satisfac¬ 
tory gift, for the 
single piece of 
ornamental mirror 
in a frame of ma¬ 
hogany or gilt, or a 
combination of the 
two. From $5 to 
$15 are the prices 
of some lovely
