Much of the charming spaciousness of a 
room is the result of its mirrors. They 
must be first beautiful in themselves, then 
fitted to that setting which will display 
their own beauty of line and color and 
give opportunity for pleasing reflections. 
This applies as well to small mirrors as 
to large. Here is a Venetian lacquer 
mirror, Chinese in design, of cherry- 
wood, and decorated with a gold ground 
and figures in multi-colors. It comes in 
two sizes; 26" by 18" and 32" x 18" 
priced respectively at $24 and $27 
A design of brightly colored but¬ 
terflies gives a novel note to this 
Bohemian glass water set. The 
figures are of painted enamel that 
has the double advantage of be¬ 
ing both beautiful and resisting 
the wear of washing. A thin 
gold line rims the top of the 
pitcher, glasses and tray. $22 
The cycle of fashion swings round 
and brings into favor again 
Mason’s iron stone china, that 
used to be in vogue in our grand¬ 
mothers’ day. This salad bowl, 
done in dull black and decorated 
in a floral pattern of red, green 
and yellow, laid on in brilliant 
tones, sells for $10 
Since fire screens are apt to occupy a 
prominent place in the room, there is 
every reason that they be carefully 
chosen both for line and decoration. 
This screen of Chinese lacquer, measur¬ 
ing 25" x 36", may be had in both red 
and black to fit the color scheme of the 
fireplace or the furnishings of the room. 
The panel of Chinese brocade in black 
and gold has a rich tone, decorative in 
itself. Being of light weight, the screen 
can readily be moved about and yet is 
stoutly supported by its broad base. $48 
The tin lampshade, which is coming 
again into vogue, is well represented 
in this Directoire lamp. Decorated 
in multi-colors, it bears the same de¬ 
sign as the Venetian standard, the 
two thus creating a good decorative 
unit. The shade and standard, mount¬ 
ed for two lights, sells at $37.50 
You can never really have too many trays because each service 
would seem to require a new kind and because, when properly 
placed, they add a touch of color to the shelf or the buffet. 
Thus this tray of white enamel. The bottom is plate glass over 
brightly colored linen, a fabric showing a pheasant design in 
several shades of blue. For the breakfast in bed—happy luxury! 
— nothing could be more refreshing in appearance or more 
serviceable. Strong, light of weight and easily kept clean it 
satisfies all the wishes for a breakfast tray. $6 
Delicately shaded lavender bands, inlaid with black medallions, 
make a pleasing color contrast against the plain white ground 
of this breakfast set. In the center of each medallion is a tiny 
red rose. The handles of the various pieces are in gold. The 
set may also be had with pink or yellow bands instead of the 
lavender. This is an excellent idea for the woman who entertains 
her guests by letting them entertain themselves, or who would do 
away with the solemn, high, all-the-family-must-be-present break¬ 
fasts characteristic of a previous generation. $30
