Where candles are still in 
such prevalent use as a 
means of both light and 
decoration, this wrought 
iron “ship-light" would 
appeal to both a practi¬ 
cal and an artistic mind. 
It sells for $3.50

We like our toast hot in this country- 
a strictly neutral declaration, please. 
That is evidently the honest intention 
of this little toast-cover, which pro¬ 
claims the fact in blue cross-stitch 
and baskets of flowers on the linen 
napkin folder. $9.80 a set 
Thanksgiving and Yuletide dinner 
tables would find this nut-cracker a 
useful adjunct; and the simplicity of 
its design would not offend the most 
discerning taste in table decoration. 
Plain mahogany is the bowl, and the 
cracker is fastened to its base. $5 
This door-knocker, made 
of a slender horseshoe, 
is a quaint device for the 
bedroom door-not for 
the stables. The hover¬ 
ing superstition always 
makes this design an ac¬ 
ceptable one. $3 
Peculiarly reminiscent of earlier and 
gaudier periods, hand-painted fur¬ 
niture and ornaments are still in 
the height of their vogue. Three 
little utilitarian pieces of tin are 
shown above. You may hang the 
garden basket on your arm for 
$1 1.25; the scrap-basket may 
grace your boudoir for $15; the 
potpourri jar of light blue may 
hold your rose-petals for $ I 5 
Tunisian pottery is a new 
note in house decora¬ 
tion. This lamp has 
been here long enough 
to become domesticated, 
and coils of wire cord 
proclaim it as destined 
for the American home. 
The shade is of silk and 
veils three electric lights. 
Price $ I 50 
No Occidental artist could 
be responsible for the 
combination of silk 
pieces that form the 
shade to this interesting 
piece. Strips of silk in 
many colors, sewn to¬ 
gether with apparent 
disregard of the spec¬ 
trum, make this shade 
unique. $ 1 2 5 
The crackle of burning logs, the odor of toasting marshmallows or of 
roasting chestnuts, long winter evenings by the open fireside-are 
all conjured to the mind by this group of wrought-iron fireside 
tools. Despite the popularity of this revived material, the objects 
shown above are all within the reach of the moderate buyer: 
poker, $3; corn popper and toasting fork, each $3; hearth candle¬ 
stick, shown above, pair, $10.00; hanging candlestick, $3 
The same shop that fosters individ¬ 
uality in toast trays and break¬ 
fast set offers an adjunct to fam¬ 
ily gatherings in the shape of an 
ample and graceful wood basket. 
This is of woven twigs, stained 
dull green and warranted to hold 
enough wood for an entire day’s 
consumption. $6.50. The unique 
wastebasket shown with it is the 
product of Italian weaving. $2.25 
Old English pheasants and quaint flowers in shades of rose, 
blue and golden yellow mark this Doulton tea service as 
a reversion to early design. The pieces are more or less 
Spode in shape, and the color scheme is set off by a tiny 
edge of black. Teapot, creamer and sugar bowl, $22; 
cups, the half-dozen, $25; tea-plates, the half-dozen, $24
