The Two-in-One 
utility of the Daybed—a living-room couch or davenport during 
the day, a comfortable bed at night-has won for it an extraordi¬ 
nary popularity, especially in the large cities where space is at a 
premium. The possession of a Daybed gives you an extra guest¬ 
room or sleeping-room whenever you require it. It also solves 
the problem of furnishing a bedroom which must serve also as a 
reception room, study room, den, or play room. Hitherto, how¬ 
ever, the Daybed has been limited in its serviceability to that of a 
single bed. The Stickley Extension Daybed (entirely original 
and different from any other) is convertible into a full-size 
double-bed, as rigid and as fully equipped (with spring and 
mattress) as any regular bedstead. There is no clumsy mech¬ 
anism:—a single pull with one hand, and the simple adjustment 
of the level of the mattress,-and the day couch becomes a com¬ 
plete comfortable bed that will please the most exacting guest. 
The Stickley Extension Daybed is made in a wide range of designs, 
Craftsman, Colonial, and period, and in various pleasing finishes. The! 
style shown here is only one of the many which your dealer has on dis¬ 
play or can obtain for you. No matter which style you choose, and 
regardless of the price, every Stickley Daybed embodies the superb crafts¬ 
manship, heirloom permanence, and glowing Chromewald finish which 
have made the name of Stickley a magic word with lovers of good furni¬ 
ture. Send for illustrated folder,—and when in New York call at our

pattern was typical of the room. It 
was of a piece with the deep green 
‘flock’ wall-paper, and the tea urn and 
the rocking chairs with their antimacas¬ 
sars and the harmonium in rosewood, 
with a Chinese papier mache tea caddy 
on top of it, even with the carpet, cer¬ 
tainly the most curious parlour carpet 
that ever was. . . 
One of the loveliest houses in New 
York, a Washington Square edifice of 
dignified bearing, was once interiorly 
something very like this. The efforts of 
a clever decorator have transformed it 
to the thing of beauty it now is. Four 
of its rooms are here illustrated. The 
tent-shaped ceilings, the wall niches, the 
wide arch doorways, the blinds, and the 
marble mantel are all characteristic of 
the time. They were allowed to remain, 
the color tone was keyed up, however, 
and the effect of light, delicate tints was 
instantaneous. 
Only some of the best of the old fur¬ 
niture was used, and the new additions 
carefully chosen with an eye to comfort, 
dignity and beauty. In every room, as_ 
you see, infinite care was expended to 
make a well-balanced and inviting, set¬ 
ting with plenty of open spaces. The 
fireside groups are an invitation to rest, 
repose and conversation—an art which 
we must believe was still practised in 
the 19th Century.
