1H8N the Htle bride, flushed of

face v and thy of demeanor, buys tb furniture tbla f All for tho new apartment or the bunsalow or the smart city

' home, ehe la likely to be be

wildered at the variety of wood and designs offered for her selection. Fashions tn ' furniture change as completely s fmahloaa in areas, thouerh more gradually, to be sure. One might suppose that revivals of certain periods ta dress would coincide with the revival of the aasne period In furniture, but Instead we are constantly confronted with the anachronism of Empire, or ltlO. or me

diaeval costumes, and 170 or William and Mary or ultra-modern . furniture

styles. ,

There are two general laws In the election of furniture at the present day that ' the little bride will do well to follow. "" One Is made clear by the

statement of a buyer In one of tho larg

st furniture houses In the country, that they sell twenty pieces of furniture In

the dull, soft finish to one with a high polish. The other is that; the day of

the ornate, carved, ; "gingerbread" variety Is past. Massive effects. In colonial curves and mission angles, are desired, except, of course, when schemes of period decoration demand the Chippendale, or Sheraton, or other imperish

able designs.

srrm boom snsonon. For the comfortable, unpretentious living room, which is fast making any sort of a parlor seem a painful tradition. ' there is nothing can be selected with greater safety than a modified mission or colonial stylo in fumed oak. new model In this line Is called tho Flanders furniture, strongly suggestive f Dutch sturdiness In Its low tones and bowl motif. This Is also particularly good for the dining-room or library. For the dining-room pieces cane Is effectively employed in the seat and back of the chairs. Mahogany is

still favored, In the more expensive

or whit, preferably, though ' boudoir seta have bean made la delicate pinks and blues. The bedroom will offer perhaps the widest scope for an. expression ef Individual taste. The oaae furniture Just mentioned Is especially jood for a bedroom. whUa the present erase for painted furniture lends itself to many charming decorative ' schemes. This outgrowth of the old. simple cottage furniture Is shown In a variety of conceits. Flowers on a white ground have the preference, perhaps, while the Japanese designs ars also good. One set was seen with delft blue decorations; another tn pink, with fluttering butterflies hovering over whtte blossoms, mads an Empire boudoir a delight to the eye. For those who prefer the braes bed with whatever style ef furniture, tho Craftsman design In the dull satin finish la In the greatest demand, though the Colonial or polished brass is much used. 1 If the bride has not already a cedar chest In which was treasured her trousseau, she will now feel that her bedroom Is Incomplete without one. These may be found in mahogany, eedar lined, or may be made to order. One most attractive one, which the particular bride for whom It waa made kept in her dining-room for her linen, was built of southern red cedar. It was bound with riveted copper bands and had massive hinges and handles. : Sunk in the top were the deeply carved Initials. Underneath the chest proper was a roomy locked drawer. Among the comparative novelties of the season are the telephone tables. These are shown In all the woods, with stools that slide on grooves beneath the table when not In use. A recent model has a circular stand especially for the "phone which may be swung about so as to leave the table free. Ehrery season sees any number of new forms for the English tea table and muffin stands. The three shelves, in a conical arrangement, or attached like leaves to a stem .are especially notable..

woods, but always In the dull finish. An Imitation of the , popular Circae

slan walnut has Just appeared, called

satin or gum walnut, which is very in

expensive and will no doubt be much

used where the lighter . toned woods

are desired.

London, which sets the fashion in

furniture as Paris does In dress, has attempted a revival of the William and Mary period, but as these styles necessarily are only possible to the extremely affluent. It Is not expected to gain great sway. Much interest has been shown lh the Adam revival, however. To the layman, the Adam furniture Is distinguishable from similar styles by the shield device, as distinct from the mirror or ladder or Japanese developments of the Chippendale and Sheraton. OUR FUmJUTUM SITIRSi A direct outcome of this Adam revival is the cane furniture now considerably used. The frame work, usually in .011 Is XVI style, may be of walnut, or some wood enameled In gray

In desks. , those with the colonial scroll posts of dull finish mahogany are very popular. A new idea In the Craftsman work is the open desk having a drop shelf operated in the manner of those of a sectional bookcase, which may bo lowered over tho pigeon holes, keep ing the dust from letters, and papers when the desk is not In use. The desktable Is gaining In popularity, sines economy of space Is a desideratum In these fiat-dwelling days. This has a desk top that slides out like a drawer, usually with ink-well and pen grooves sunk in it Another combination piece IS a Morris chair on mission lines, having shelves for books and magazines beneath the wide arms. In the smaller pieces of furniture the Martha Washington sewing table with Its crystal knobs gleaming quaintly adds a homey touch to the bedroom. Smoking tables, copper mounted, with a raised back to hold a pipe rack, are essential furnishing for the den.

Wall Paper Suggestions

When In the course of human events the dread day arrives for the selection of new wall paper, the whole family , gathers la solemn conclave about the unwleldly books propped up oa the davenport. After weighty, weary consideration, a decision Is reached la some mysterious manner. And when the selected scrap Is multiplied by four Irrevocable walls.' each and every member of the family dlsclalsae having bad any voice In the matter. 1 told yea that paper would never, never do. But the rest of you seemed to fancy It. so. of course 80 for two or three or four years, perhaps. Interminable scrolls wlad deliriously over the walla or lurid popples clamber up to the molding. This season, however. It will be hard to go wrong It one but follows tho prevailing styles. Oone are tho scarlet blooms on a brown ground gone tho glaring stripes of later popularity, everything is in the low tones, a sort of putty color Just now being prima favorita . Modest conventional designs. In two-tone or half-tone gradations, are almost exclusively used for living-room

and library walla. la the leas expensive papers the oatmeal effects are especially pleasing. Thea are super

seding the burlap for the dado of the

dining-room also, burlap being now used

mora for offlcea and public buildings. For the dining-room a new paper has appeared which Is meant to be a substitute for wood paneling at about onefifth the coat. It Is used for either wainscot or dado, and may be stained to match any color of oak. It baa the advantage over wood that tt does not crack or warp. It la SO Inches wide with two panela la tho width, and sella for TS cents a yard. When this ht combined with Japaneae gold cloth for the frlese a beautiful result is obtained. This Japanese gold cloth might be called a cloth-of-gald burlap. It may be hand tinted, giving a tapestry affect, or may

be stenciled. This sells for S.e a
