The well-appointed home 
Decorating authorities all agree that 
the appointments of the well-ordered living- 
room, dining-room, library, boudoir or recep¬ 
tion hall of to-day must include— CANDLES. 
Tradition suggests them. Fashion prescribes 
them. Good Taste demands them. And Good 
Judgment says, use Atlantic Candles. Then 
you’ll be sure to get candles that are correct— 
the latest creations of the authoritative de¬ 
signer’s art. There’s a shape, size and color for 
every lighting or decorative scheme. 
"CANDLEGLOW” 
is an authoritative 
and interesting book¬ 
let on candle styles, 
lighting and decora¬ 
tion. A post-card 
recuest brings it. 
Choose Atlantic Candles for their quality, 
too. The Atlantic label on box or candle is 
assurance that materials are pure and crafts¬ 
manship the finest. Atlantic Candles burn 
down evenly in dripless “cup” form. Odor¬ 
less, smokeless and flickerless. Buy them wher¬ 
ever decorative furnishings, gifts or art wares 
are sold. 
FOR CHRISTMAS—hum Atlantic Bayherry Candles. They’re 
hand-dipped,’have the real bayherry scent, and "hum to the 
socket,” as the legend says they must to work their fanciful charm.

models, in fact, the graduated details 
mentioned above gave Phjde’s work its 
distinction. 
Sheraton furniture characteristics are: 
Construction: Rectangular, high per¬ 
pendicular outlines, slender structure 
characteristic; fronts shaped in bowed' 
curves, convex sideboard and sections 
typical; columns on corners of sideboards, 
chests of drawers and desks. 
Woods: Mahogany and satinwood with 
inlay and banding of rosewood, ebony, 
holly, etc. 
Ornament: Veneer, inlay and marque¬ 
try; painting; reeding and fluting; caning 
and upholstery; characteristic motifs are 
slender urns, shells, stars and lattice; 
classic details: small ornamental paterae, 
oval, round or rectangular; fans; swags or 
festoons especially in drapery; wreaths, 
floral and leaf designs, the narrow flat 
water-leaf characteristic. 
Mounts: Simple, plain, ringed or chased, 
round, oval and octagonal. Plain edge 
brass keyholes or set in ivory diamonds. 
Top: Straight effects characteristic; 
chairs often have slightly raised middle 
section or slightly crested and ornament¬ 
ed; cabinets aiid other pieces often have 
very graceful swan-neck pediments. 
Back: Slightly raked-—inclined back¬ 
ward; straight, flat or shaped. Rectangu¬ 
lar with barred baluster; ornamental splat 
in lyre, vase or other design with lower 
cross-rail above seat, very characteristic; 
caned, upholstered. 
Arm: Straight, curved, dropped; the 
French arm with vase-shaped support 
characteristic. 
Seat: Nearly square, narrower at back; 
flat; round or bowed front; upholstered, 
caned. 
Leg: Straight and tapering; curved in 
stands and back legs of chairs; typical 
Sheraton leg is the French Louis XVIth 
model—round, tapering and reeded—sur¬ 
face carved like a bunch of rods or reeds. 
Foot: Plain tapering, spade, turned, 
fluted, ornamental ankle. 
Emphasis of the vertical line gives the 
distinctive style to Sheraton furniture. 
It is aristocratic and at home wherever 
good breeding and gentility give flavor to 
courtesy. We can fancy the handsome 
Alexander Hamilton at perfect ease on a 
Sheraton chair, deftly adjusting the lace 
at his wrist wdth a turn of the hand, but 
missing no point that would lose him 
mastery of the conversation. Sheraton be¬ 
comes a furniture synonjnn for aristocracy.
