THAT MINOR 
MATTER OF 
STOOLS AND 
THEIR PLACING 
A Comfortable Ac¬ 
cessory in Any Room, 
Stools Have Come In¬ 
to Their Own Again 
Post Colonial in treatment, 
this little mahogany 
stool suggests the mass¬ 
ive elements of con¬ 
struction characteristic 
of that period. $15.50 
Though primarily for com¬ 
fort, the fact that this 
foot rest is also a shoe 
box in disguise does not 
detract a whit from its 
charm. $ I 0

Before the fireplace in the drawing-room of Elsie de Wolfe’s New York 
home are two old French stools arranged in their proper period position 
An unusually hap¬ 
py combination 
is achieved in 
this walnut stool 
with its cane 
seat. $ I 6 
Standing only nine

A Jacobean motif 
is evident in the 
ornately carved 
legs of this re- 
p r oduction. 
Mahogany. $ 1 3 
Another mark of 
the Jacobean 
influence is 
shown in the 
trimmings of 
leather fringe.

The classical lines of 
this reproduction 
make it a desirable 
adjunct in a Colonial 
living-room. $ 10 
Such a bench seat may be upholstered in material to match one’s 
rugs or hangings. This one in tapestry seems especially fitted 
for fireside use. It comes in mahogany for $23.50; or oak, $22 
The uses for a bench are almost as numerous as the uses for 
stools. Being sturdily built of walnut and having a length of 
three feet, this bench will prove decorative and serviceable. $25
