NEWEST IN FURNITURE

REMARKABLY PRETTY THINGS HAVE BEEN DESIGNED. Breakfast Table Set Not Unreasonably Expensive, and Durable—Fern Stand a Delightful Accessory for Dining Room. An inexpensive Austrian ‘ ware for the breakfast table is called Rusticana. It comes in many odd shapes, though the same decoration holds throughout. It is cream colored, with garlands of large, brightly colored German flowers. Pitchers are from 25 cents to sl. Breakfast plates are 35 cents apiece; cups, 15 cents; egg trays, fl; platters, $1; bowls, 50 cents. An attractive breakfast table is shown in the illustration. It is odd in design and takes up little space, as the four chairs are low of back and

are made to exactly fill the four quar-ter-spaces of the table. It is also a fine tard table. The amazingly 1ot» price for table and chairs is s2l. It w in drill old oak. An oblong, three-shelved stand, with a handle stretching above the top shelf, was seen at sl2. This was similar to a muffin stand, but newer of design. A delightful dining room accessory is a fern stand. It has a zinc lined flower box, and is about the height of an ordinary table. These fern stands are often very handsome. One of mahogany with cane insets was seen at sl7. This had square ends. And one with rounded box ends cost S2O. A dull oak stand was sll. A mahogany tea-wagon, which is shown in the last drawing, costs S2O, and another one in oak and cane, with a cretonhe-fllled tray, is $25. Two little high-chairs for the babies were most delightful little things—of mahogany, both of them. One at $22 was a chippendale, and the other was a.Windsor at sl2. —Philadelphia Record.
